Very nice and clean, seen it in person too :P more pics pls :)

Half a inch more. I reckon it'd be close.

Of course they are lighter lol, hey bueller we need a thread with more pics of your sweet ride mate. Don't leave us hanging :)

You'd hope they're lighter as they cost about 150000 yen odd new per wheel back when they were produced from memory, double or close to double the cost of the lmgt-4. Not sure what the gt500s cost though.

More pics here or in another thread?

Well,,, just read through the whole thread,,,very impressive purchases boys and girls. We are all keeping them in a job.

I was asked by Zebra once why I had a Nismo sticker (chinese copy) on my windsreen when possibly I didn't actually have any nismo gear on the race car. Well there's not that much to buy for a poor old R33 GTS-T but I am doing my best.

Nismo Speedo

Nismo Key

Nismo GTR Fuel Pressure Regulator

Nismo Front Lower Control Arms (Oh wait I bent one racing)

Nismo Rear Upper and Lower Control Arms

Nismo clutch and brake mounting Brackets (not really but nismo cheated by just welding more points)

Nismo Thermostat

Nismo 555 Injectors

Melinda was a bit taken by all the cool stuff Lander Toyota had bought into skippy land many many years ago and bought these 2 items,,,. We still have the receipts somewhere,,,pity we didn't keep the packaging..

Close ups would be good including stickers. :)

When and where did u pick them up from Terry? Nice :)

'Twas I Marko who gave you a heads up on this set being on that BCNR33 F/S remember? I said you might ask Kamikaze... if he might separate the wheels from his car that's on offer. Then I noticed you'd ordered new ones so I stepped in afterwards.

Ahhh yes tbh I didn't instigate that path as I couldn't go past the wheels i got being full monoblock forged and less than 8kg superlight :) I'm happy

Besides that, white wheels on silver meh whereas on your white gtr would be nice...are they 18x9.5 Terry?

    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
    • Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
