hey bought a new skyline today like the look of it just had the fact its got stock rims, what im asking is, is it possible to just buy the rims u want and have the current tyres moved over or is it cheaper to just buy the tyres and rims outright... was after some black ones xD preferable 34 GTT if someone has any...

also the front bumper on the car hangs much lower than it, its a 1993 r33 unsure of what series it is but at the back it says its a gts25t whatever the hell that means, so dont know the series of the car or the series of the bumper i have a photo of the bumper if it helps.

also if someone could help duno what colour the car is.. grey, mettalic grey? gun metal grey?

cheers

as they all said you can only swap the tyres if the rims you buy are the same size. I rkn get something a bit nicer than 34 gtt rims but its your call.

car appears gunmetal grey to me.

rb25det means its 2.5litre turbo.

front bar never seen it sorry.

The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round, the wheels on the bus go round and round.

LOL

Yes, going by the front end, it's a Series 1 R33 GTS25-t.

If I were you, I wouldn't waste money on R34 GTT rims, save your pennies and buy something a bit nicer with brand new tyres :blush:

oh ok thanks for all the help guys, it was terrible that front bumper sat so low i was pulling out of this peak petrol station going down a hill and at the bottom BANG the whole front ripped off and nearly went under the car, i threw it over a fence and came back with a mate to pick it up now i have to get a new one, i love the look of it but im guessing i cant get similar without it having the same low effect? any suggestions? alright ill go have a look at bob jane t-marts and mr mags and see if i like somethin else besides 34 gtt

yeh mate i do want the car to look low but no matter how slow i went the whole thing nearly blew up under the car wats the point of having it that low that i cant get over things? id be just wasting money replacing the bumper all the time, ok... so if not bob jane t-marts where wud u suggest? i dont want to spend heaps.. most mates of mine go for around 1600 i just want to change the shit things that are on it at the moment to some decent metal ones dont really care about a flash design so id want to spend around 900-1300 max sorta thing, but i am one of those people where if i had to spend more i would but i wud rather not on this..

Before you throw hard earned at a new front bar, go to a hardware store-get some fibreglass matting & a pot of resin & have ago at fixing it yourself.

Wheels from a R34GTT may cost you second hand what a semi decent set brand new jobbies will cost. You can still transfer tyres across but if you change the rim size you WILL need new tyres too. There are plenty of cheap wheel deals going on at the moment so look around. DONT GO TOO BIG, DONT GET A 35PROFILE TYRE FOR THE STREET or track use if thats your intention-they weigh to much & a low low profile tyre sucks ass as all you are likely to do when you hit your 1st pot hole is break em

my 2c

thanks again for your inputs i was thinking about fixin it myself mate but you shud see the damage.. its beyond me and to be honest if anyone wants that bumper they can have it just went to the local wreckers and got a new r33 series 1 bumper the m series one, but rather than having it like i did last time im cutting it to perfection to suit my likeing, he gave it to me for 275 and it was in good nick, the fact is im gonna have to get it resprayed anyway to gun metal grey the colour that would match the car.. how much that is gonna cost i dont know i hope it isnt too much, if anyone knows where some specials are of rims/wheels at the moment in PERTH then let me know ill probs go shopping for some tommorow, cheers.

buy yourself a stock S1 Gtst front bar, obviously your not aware that you have to do really random shit with your car to avoid the bumper scrapping that makes other motorists think "WTF? is he doing" like going over speed bumps/inclines/driveways/anything diagonally...i got sick of having to do it so i decided to put my stock one back on, best choice ever...not the prettiest but it makes everyday driving much easier.

+1 for the anti-bobjane shit, there might be a few jap copy rims ive seen em do that sorta look ok, part from that, imo they just do not suit skylines, nor imports for the matter.

18" mesh with fat rear dish, cant go wrong :cool:

thanks again for more inputs, to the guy that said it would be my driving... i dont think so.. ive been driving a while now and havent even had a close call. its cause this was one large dip then it flattens out straight away, should have known this was going to happen i dont even think the bumper was barely 70mm off the ground.. anyway i went and bought a S1 standard m spec one currently trimming it to my likeing, and ill get it re-sprayed. ill go have a look now at some jap rims see how i go, thanks again

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
