Hey all,

I wanted to offer my rims to the ACT guys first before putting them up for sale elsewhere.

I have sold the R33 to a mate without the rims/tyres as they are worth too much.

My Volk GT-C Face 2 rims in 18 * 8 fronts and 18 * 9 rears with near new Federal RS-R tyres (235s on front, 265s on rear) are one of the best looking rims I've seen. They fit the R33 GTS-T superbly and were legally engineered for use on my R33. They went through Dickson twice without trouble.

I will get the offsets for you all tomorrow but for now I have just photos:

I'm chasing $3500 for all 4 with the RS-R tyres (which are $1700 on their own). This will include the hubcentric rings, carbon volk center caps and volk nuts with volk lock nuts.

Cheers

Sam

I've wanted these wheels ever since i 1st saw them on the car, years ago. they are easily one of the best rims i've ever seen on an R33! the photos dont them justice. you gotta see these in the flesh...

Good luck with the sale....

They're 17x9" I believe. Currently got a set of 235/17/45 (I think that's the measurements) Maxxis tyres. Mostly legal (bar some lame camber wear on the rears)...plenty of tread depth.

haha I don't even know if I should be considering it, I already owe him $180 rofl

let me know. Couldnt really care about the tyres, as my current set are 235/45's and I'd just swap them over. Would be interested to know what their offset is, so I can figure out if they won't look as fail as my front rims do at the moment.

Damned if I know, I could name a figure but it's probably wrong. What size are they anyway, not sure on my 33 rims sizes, I do know though they look halfway decent on a 32 though.

Looks more than halfway decent :D

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
