Hi folks,

new to the site. Rebuilding a r32 gtst. Its going away to the body shop shortly and just need to get a set of rims for it. Budget is about $2000 including tyres. Just want something nice to look at because we have a set of wheels already for the track.

We had never heard of Te37s untill we found replicas in a shop window but they seem to be the kinda wheel we want. And liking the ROTA P45Rs. But cant afford these at the mo. We deffo want white wheels.

can anyone suggest any others that might fit the bill other than the te37 reps and has anyone got te37 rep on their car???

Thanks for the help guys.

Katie

Hi Katie and welcome.

I've got Ozzy Tyres 032s for my 32 gtst. Mine are 18x8 all round but plan to put 18x7.5 on the front when I can afford them, just so the tyres protect the rim better.

I run 225/40 on front and 235/40 rear if your interested. :D

The pics are old ones, but I hope they give you an idea.

White Work Emotion Cr Kai's look very nice. if I was going with a white wheel (which I almost decided on) it would be this one.

And you can get them with or without the stickers.

Do it, it'll look killer.

Great choice for white. They look sexy on white cars. Like what Hank Scorpio said, your best bet would be Work CR KAI for your budget (but they're quite rare, the bronze 18s are normally around the 1.8k mark). Or you can try replicas/rota. But for 32s, I would recommend smaller spokes (CR Kai and the likes) due to the slickness of the car. The fatter spokes look better on fatter cars in general.

Thanks guys, some lovely wheels there. The car in question is blue, like THIS COLOUR. and its getting a vertex kit on it. The vertex kit seems to be pretty common out here but we plan on taking the car home and ive never seen a vertex kit there so that made our minds up. We were looking for the final konnection kit but couldnt get it made anywhere anyway what im trying to say is that the car isnt a straight and clean cut at the standard kit, its a bit more funky so thats why we thought the te37s looked good.

Has anyone any advise on the te37 reps? We have been quoted $1550 incl tyres, does that sound about right or did they hear the accent and try to rip us off?

Haven't heard of Rays Engineering Volk Racing TE37 wheels?! :P:D

One of the best wheels to come from Japan! :D

Yes there are fake TE37's and they will have Ravs Engineering Vork Racing Wheels - http://fakewheels.com/2009/04/vork-wheels-...ngineering-wtf/

When you were quoted $1550 incl tyres, were they the fake TE37's?

IF so that sounds ok...

New genuine TE37's can easily go for $3000+ a set of 4 wheels on its own, no tyres.

If your going drifting, get the fakes so you can thrash those around as you don't want to rip up the good genuine wheels.

White wheels will look good on Blue car.

I got white TE37's on Grey car.

Yea. Just go to www.nengun.com for some price indications for geniune Rays' wheel if you're interested. As the TE37 are 1 piece forged, they will be 1 of the top end product. As Skyline mention, I too agree 1550 incl. tyres are pretty good but then again, the quality of tyre plays a big part as well.

Currently I'm having LMGT4 with 285/35/18 bridgestone potenza which I bought from a guy in the forum. I didnt know the price of those tyres until I someone mention those rims would cost technically 1k with those tyres (those tyres are worth around 700each brand new and I paid 3.3k in total for the wheel). So even though it might sound like a good deal, just make sure those are quality tyres as I've said to everyone, your life depends on those rubber.

Skyline: I want your TE37!

Cheers!

Yeah I went to the Nengun website to check prices out too as it is pretty good and in AUS Dollars.

:)

You want my TE37's... I guess we can sawp as I love LMGT4's.

Oh they are lovely too, what ball park price are they? We want 18s aswell.

Thanks for all the help aswell people. Some really nice options.

Not sure because my car came from Japan with them, but locally I think around 1800 with tires

in staggered fitment18"... 8.5 front, 9.5 rear with 38 offset I think, or maybe 83...something like that anyway.. fills the guards perfect without the cops giving you a second look, plus they clean up easy as hell

mine have blue alloy lug nuts , blue valve stems, to go with blue rotors and blue RDA disks so doesnt look too bad

245 on the front and 265 in the rear fit without ghey looking stretch

photo before I repainted the GT logo blue instead of red from factory

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi
