There are rims out there, you just need to know what you want and know how to find it.

Ditch searching from Tempe. What's your budget?

Something along the lines of these suit your criteria of 18 inch 4 stud.

18x8.5J+29

18x9.5J+29

Alternatively if you're dedicated you could do the turbo brake upgrade, and have better brakes with a larger variety of 18" wheels to choose from.

Finding 4x114.3 rims isn't all that hard ...

Finding 4x114.3 pattern wheels to clear turbo brakes on the other hand is pretty hard ...

im doing the turbo brake upgrade on my R32 using the R33 gts-t calipers and rotors redrilled to 4x114.3 but ya need some huge offset wheels in order to clear the big calipers or ya need like 25-30mm spacers to fit them

oh yeah, importmonster.com!

Rip off, their fees are ridiculous. Trying to search on that site doesn't show you half of what's on there most the time too. Using a translation of auctions.yahoo.co.jp is the way to go, and then get Jesse Streeter to get them for you.

thanks guys,

i might try some of the places around newy, bob jane and all them.

my budget is about 1000-1500, im only an apprentice so cant afford all that much.

i have been thinkin about the 5 stub conversion and brakes and that, but a) i havent got the money for them b) i wouldnt know where to start to find them or put them on and c) this is my daily drive so it cant be off the road for more than the weekend.

i have a good idea of the style i want, these r on tempe tyres, but r for turbo'd lines.

either in shadow like this or chrome. have asked tempetyres but they cant machine them to find 4 studed lines

look around for multi studs so if you ever do decide to upgrade brakes or sell its win win

yep..

you'll probably find most of the better size/offset rims are multistud anyway.. both the sets i've had that clear 33 brakes were.

thanks every one for the inputs.

Line 3- they r mad rims but not the stlye im goin for, i must be hell picky haha

Hank scorpio- where can i find Work and Volt rims, i have seen Volt rims on some of my mates cars in sydney, they dont look to bad.

as for a picture, the missus reset the computer for some reason and she only saved her pictures, so i havent got around to takin any more, im pretty 100% sure it is the same as Line 3's skyline, but a light silver colour

    • Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask
    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
