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

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
