I have a set of standard R33 GTR wheels and tyres that I am considering putting up for sale.

I will need to drag them out and check, but from memory they have a bit of minor gutter rash and are shod with a near new set of (Nexen?) tyres that were put on by the dealer I bought the car from.

Probably looking for around $800.

Anyone interested?

Cheers,

JD

Pics plz

Patience grasshopper :yes:

I will have to drag them out of storage, hose off the dust and take some pix on a day that I actually get home before dark.

So probably not before the weekend.

Anyone who wants to buy them without first seeing pix is of course welcome to. :P:

I think i saw them when we got the standard gtr suspension out from under the house.

how much would you sell them for as is?

without seeing them?

how desperate are you to sell them as I will probably be able to afford them when and if the mrs starts to work.

They would look good on the stagea!

Not particularly fussed if I don't sell them to be honest Nick.

I had a scout around on here and a few other places and they seemed to be going for around $1K +, so thought $800 was reasonable providing someone local picks them up.

:O TROY WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME WHEN YOU POSTED I WOULD BE INTERESTED INSTEAD OF WAITING ME TO FIND THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :domokun:

If you can hold them for a couple of weeks i'll buy them if they are in good condition!! And that is a promise, I've been bugging Troy for his for ages lol :)

Especially since if we get as much work done this weekend with the front bar and indicators as we want to Pinky is HOPEFULLY going in for a blue slip next week *eeeek*

And lucky I came on here to ask a q. about places to get rego inspections! lol

problem with awareness of where the left hand side of my car is, at least for the first few weeks I owned it....I think it may have been to do with going from a VL (head against the roof lol) into a standard R33, then into an R33 with GT-R seats....progressively lowering where I sat in the car, making it seem as though it was a different width.

I had a sad at first, now I'm over it. Just gonna get em repaired and powerdercoated black :thumbsup:

      Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
