Finding Nismo

[Sinista32]

Hehe.

Yeah, what size?

^Cheeky bugger^

can we see yours again please !

[GTR-N1]

At a guess - 18x9.5 +12...

I'm still curious as to who bought my old LMGT4s from Import Monster, as they were getting sprayed black from memory...

These Kristian?

Yes from Aaron. They were bronze; and underneath a few small scratches, they were originally white.

Resurrected by Chris aka "CRAVED"

Chris wasn't happy with the sandblasting; so he sacked the regular bloke and tried a new fellah

Pete aka "PLYNX" fabricated new centre caps on these 18x9.5 +12 GT500 ver05

[GTR-34A]

Kinda wish I went for the lmgt4s instead of the te37s I got ha...

One day I will get a set I'm sure.

[Owgasm]

Honestly, you'd probably want to get them now and not later

In future, there will be less available and call a hefty premium due to scarcity.

[GTR-34A]

yea i know... im just not sure if i want to let go of my wheels right now and lose a great deal of money on them etc...

i will keep my eyes peeled for a set in the size im after, if the right ones come up i may buy some etc..

[wedge_r34gtr]

Let me know if your selling the TE37SL then Ant :-).

On a nismo note, recently aquired a nismo fuel filter cap in good condition from a fellow forum member :-)

[Owgasm]

I saw that ^ haha. Nice catch.

[GTR-34A]

will do mate, im not sure if i will be able to though, i paid an absolute premium for the wheels (over 4k) due to them being a special order of matte black and hard to get hold of, now they have bought out there 'black edition' which is better priced! i would be losing alot of money! im abot to wrap them in better tyres and my car will be lowered, so will see how i feel about them after and re asses ha.

'tis a small world after all. Didn't realise I was looking at them in Sydney! Your car looks more and more like mine every day Terry! I lost count of the number of people who thought I'd brought mine over...

[GTR-N1]

Actually K, the ones you saw at WTAC were 18x10.5 +12 that came across on the BsB VS2

They were powder coated Nismo Black as well

Terry, if you decide to get rid of one of your sets if you still have both, let me know.. There even in my colour!

Ok Ant, you're on my swap list

[GTR-34A]

Awesome!

Curious, do you still have both sets? And what are there specs?

For the non GTR's - Posted today 19" Nismo LMGT's

[GTR-N1]

LMGT4 18x10.5 +12 in Nismo Black but one rim has been welded 3x in the same spot. It came out from Japan on my VS2 with 1x weld and by looking at the chalk marks prior to its 2nd weld at Minchinbury one could see that the original hit was adjacent to the original crack with faint imperceptible bends on either side. The 2nd TIG weld was performed before powder coating at CRAVED. On the way to the Exec Retreat down near Sussex Inlet, the reweld opened up again. The 3rd weld was done by Nigel at One Stop Unanderra where he made "V" cuts on both sides of the lip before welding. He said that this is how it should have been done the first time. I've been a bit paranoid about that rim and left it on the rear (& never the front) whilst I looked around for a solitary equivalent. That couldn't be found. But these turned up...

18x9.5 +12 in Nismo Black after recoating again by CRAVED. Aaron had located these GT500 ver05 in somewhat scratched condition but perfect in roundness/strength. This has been my spare set Ant.

If I find a single rim for that first set, (even if it takes me years), I'll let you know hehe...

[GTR-34A]

Thanks for the info Terry! Thought the ones that used to be on your old black 34r were 10.5s...

And they would be the size I'm after, there is currently a black set in the for sale section, they are also 18x9.5 +12 I'm pretty sure..

Thought about these, but if I was to change, would not want to compromise on size etc.

Cheers,

Anthony

They are 10.5s Ant.

They were behaving themselves until I took them over and wanted to change them from bronze to Nismo Black. That's when it was revealed that the 1st weld had opened up. Bit of a shame. They deserve 285/30 rubber too.

Yea I thought so.

Ha that's one of the reasons I want to change to 18s. Would love some wider rubber!
