^Re: above comments about 18x11s: I had 18x11 +18 on my 34 GTR and although they looked sweet I couldn't get full lock due to the inside of the wheel rubbing against the suspension upright (Doing 3 point turns around hairpins at Galston Gorge is pretty embarrassing :P). I could have probably spaced them out to avoid this but they were already flush/just outside the guard on the front so it would have made it a fair bit worse.

Back to 10s now and I'm happy that I can turn moderately tight turns :)

would look very good. i just recently fitted matt black rims to my mnp r33 gtr n looks alot better than before in my opinion.

do a google search and some images should come up of the sl's on a gtr.

i will be putting some new photos up in the photography section once my abflug rear diffuser arrives from japn

also pretty sure that sunline racing used to use those tcII on their carbon r34 so they must be pretty good if a high class tuner in japan would use them for a time attack car

I am pretty keen to get them, but still not sure about the gun metal on a midnight purple hmmm

Oh really, that is a bit of a pain. I really would like a set of 18x11 or 18x11.5 would be even better because you can go to a 315 tyre (I think) comfortably.

n11smo is selling Gold ADVAN RG I (discontinued) rims with plenty of rubber atm.

Gold on MNP is superb!

Thread title should be:

TE37s the most over used Jap wheel in history?

Ha ha ah.....damn, I think you are right Ash...not come to think of it...damn

As if!

One of the best wheels to come out of Japan!

Totally agree. In my opinion, the LMGT4 and the TE37 are the best rims to grace a R33.

Cheers

I know i'll piss people off but seriously over GTC's,

One of the most over used Jap wheels. TE37's are common but bloody effective. I'd still buy a set for mine eventually as track wheels one day

I think the GTC's - regardless of face and lip whatever, is ugly and does not justice to a GTR or any Skyline at all. The spokes looks ugly in my personal opinion. I think the TE37 looks best then followed by the LMGT4 and that's about it. Everything else is a hit and miss thing. Boring I agree, but better be safe than sorry.

What other rims do people rock in their Skylines nowadays? Anything original?

In terms of the looks department, what are the major differences between a standard set of TE37's and the SL version?

Thanks.

Same style / looks but made slightly different.

A forged 1 piece wheel.

Success of 400 grams weight loss on the 18x10.5 size was achieved using the latest technology and mold form tooling while maintaining the same original strength and rigidiy as our current TE37 line-up.

By the way, where to buy replacement TE37 stickers? I personally find them ugly (the blue Volk Racing ones) and prefer to have the LMGT4 Nismo ones - anyone put these on as an alternative?

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • 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.
