Beautiful wheels. Are they forged and what country makes them as the name sounds german?

They're cast te37 knock offs so I'm going to say china? Bit of a downgrade from the lmgt3's imo.

Their entire range is knock offs, they're available in the trader section.

Rest of the build looks great though, love the updates.

Fairly sure they are American, but yes the whole company is just about knock offs. I mean they can't even come up with their own description:

Not sure why Enkei haven't sued them for that.

Anyway, don't want to clutter up this thread with that, it's an excellent build thread and at least they are nice looking wheels! thumbsup.gif

All informations about the wheels you can find here:

Yes, they are Te37 knock offs. But I have no problems with this fact. Also other firms have Te37 replicas like Rota or ASA wheels.

The Varrstoen have been used from Ken Block for example. I know other high performance Skylines (round about 600~800hp) which also use this Varrstoen wheels on the racetrack and they had no problems with them.

So, I`m sure, this wheels are good enaugh for me, and they cost a fraction of the the Rays =)

Yesterday I was at High Import Performance to look after my car =) To get the sky on an other position in the garage we we fitted wheels and tires from a friend.

After that I feld that the Tein Typ RA suspension is really hard^^ Too hard? We will see =)

And I tried to fit the new Mocal oil cooler =) Really big but it looks like that it fitts on the same position like before. Now I have to fix the cooling panels for the cooler.

    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
