Oh Nummy. :P

I want me some 33 GTR rims.

Yeah they are just as hard to find! I wasn't going to get a set of track rims just yet as i didn't exactly have the cash to spend BUT these came up at the right price so i had to break the bank :laugh:

How heavy are they per rim?

Compared to the cast XT7's i would say they would be light... The 4 parcels coming have a combined weight of 36kg including the packing materials...

Sure you don't want some SE37's?

Nope, have always wanted a set of black 34GTR rims so now all i gotta do is work out how to clean them up and paint them :D

Tow Car Updates...

The poor cruiser was getting a bit neglected so now it has had full service, big exhaust put back on and some new suspension bushes.... We also decided to replace the floor in the back so we could run Carmens new toy (Weaco 40L fridge)... We are generally useless when it comes to renovating or building anything but we worked OK on this one lol

80L of E85 works wonders -

We plugged all the holes from the old seat brackets etc -

We still need to do some finishing touches and get the fridge bolted down properly etc BUT for all the upcoming track days we will now be sorted! Everytime we go to a day out we find something we can do to make our day better ;)

But...by putting a fridge in there there is less room for tyres!! :P

Cruiser has a big ass roof cage, trailer has about 4ft of spare room... I think we got it covered ;)

Oh and YES in the pictures i was using the 34GTR rims as a work bench for cutting the floor :whistling:

Atleast we know that they are strong haha!

Are you gonna paint them black, Mat? They seem to be in excellent condition as it is...

You going with 275/35's?

Lol yep!

I love the black look and WANT to paint them but i am not sure as yet... That photo makes them look pretty mint but the far one does actually have some rash... Im not sure yet but would hate to break the black/white theme! I see black ones and do like the look of them, would love to change the GTR badge to something else too but not sure if that is possible without too much hassle...

And no, either 255/35 or 265/35 (Leaning towards 265 at this stage)...

The 275 is too tall and puts the speedo out etc....

Ah I see haha. I have a feeling they'll be black soon..

As for the GTR badging, Im in the same situation. I found a ebay seller who has circle Nismo badges in any diameter you want. But they dont even look genuine. Was going to surgery them onto the centre caps if possible. Or just get another set of centre caps and hack the gtr badge off...

Plastidip?

I honestly think this is the best option for now! That way it is cheap but also reversible if needed! I haven't attempted it before but i think Carmen is keen to have a crack at it!

Hmmm these centre caps are too clean to mess with! I know places like StreetFX will make stickers and stuff that would cover the spot nicely but i dont want to ruin the caps! I think i might give Matts idea a crack and see how they look...

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
