Hey Guys

Firstly, as you will notice this is my first post, I am new to the forum and am a first time skyline owner... only just recently got one!

My car (pics below) is a 98 auto r34 gtt with nismo kit. I love the kit and also love the fact that this particular one is completely stock, nothing done to it so i can make it my own! please don't flame me for havin an auto, i won't go into any auto v manual debates, it was a personal choice for me. period.

I always felt like an outsider looking in when seeing others on performance car forums such as this, my mate at work has a skyline and is always on this place! Now I can really relate, since buying my car I have been on these forums alot, reading through, building up my knowledge base (i can't name all the engine parts, what they do, and how to fix them like most on here).

I am starting to look for acknowledgement when driving by and spotting a fellow skyline drivers, I am starting to feel the sense of community which I think is great!

It's been amazing how much specific and good advice I've found on this place, not being that knowledgeable, it has helped me make some good decisions.

A couple things that have come about because of this forum include:

- I am taking my car to Bels Garage for a service this weekend, log books I got were Japanese and wanted ppl who knew what they were doing to see what needed to be fixed/replaced on my newly bought car. Bels has a great rep!

- Am also getting a premium autowatch alarm system/turbo timer from security in motion installed based on recommendations here

- am going out to buy some Meguirs Tech Wax aswell to make my car look hot! lol

Anyways more to the point, I have a question, look at the second pic below, this wasn't taken by me it was from the original ad... my mate who has a skyline says that the rims are 'stock GTR rims'... can anyone verify this? he also told me I could get a fair nick for them sold second hand, they are in as new condition, no blemishes.

Just wanted this piece of knowledge for future reference... down the line i intend on getting a nice set of rims and if could make some money off these that would be a bonus.

thanks for the help in advance and hope to be welcomed to tha place!

Welcome mate. Car looks neat and tidy. Make sure you comprehensively insure her!

Here are the actual R34 GT-R rims (they look similar but are an 18" rim and are painted the colour of brake dust)... they also have the GT-R logo on the centre cap instead of the Nissan logo.

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
