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

    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
