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:

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
