Just wondering what you guys think i should do with these 19x10.5 LMGT4s I just bought.

Was thinking of getting them painted 'Nismo Black' to match my 18 x 9.5 Omori set, but on the other hand I'm thinking it would be a shame to paint over the factory silver with polished lip finish.

Will be going on a Bayside Blue BNR34 by the way.

Thoughts?

I'd leave them silver personally (with your BsB body).

A Nismo Black Omori set later on for the track will make a great contrast.

I have 2 sets of LMGT4s both in Nismo Black (powdercoat) - but that's because my car is QM1 white and they were both 2nd hand with slight imperfections.

Very nice, was watching these even though I don't have anything to put them on! Went for a decent price too, congrats!

Another vote for leave them silver, will look excellent against the bsb. Only tip would be to change centre caps, go the flat caps in the diamond cut finish as per my sig. Jesse streeter sorted mine for a good price

They went for an OK price, but when you add, delivery, commission, etc it ended up costing me more than a new set would.

They look great in your sig, i think those centre caps are definitely the way to go.

Yea but I was told the LMGT4 were semi discontinued (need decnt number of orders before Rays will make them). And to make things harder, 10.5 are typically a made to order size and even for TE37, they can take awhile since its not off the shelf (typically). Good pick up I'd say.

ps: if you've seen my other post, you might want to check how much a new set will cost as I've notice Rays for whatever reason decided to jack up their already very exp rims by another 50%+ (something like 2yrs ago was 52,000yen and now 82,000yen, TE37 18x9.5).

No idea. This was 2yrs ago when I got the 18x9.5 TE37. I was actually after 18x10.5 TE37 or LMGT4 but the TE37 needed a couple of months (which I didnt want to wait) and LMGT4 doesnt even have an ETA date (even 9.5). Which is why I end up with these TE37 now.

Cost shouldnt be all that hard because what I get quoted is basically what is listed on Ray's website. Just check that and convert to AUD + frieght + agent commission and it should be it. I paid 3.2k for mine when it was 52,000yen (1aud = 75yen?)back then so you can kinda work backwards and see how much the frieght and commission is. 10.5's gonna be slight more expensive too.

Easier, email Streeter or similiar exporter to get an actual figure.

Define decent number Brandon.
10 sets?
I'm sure these forums could get 10 people interested in a 19x10.5 +12 set of lmgt4s.
Depending on retail price at the moment, it would even be easy.

Lmgt4s can be made, 10 sets is the min order ,and they come in 4 colours offset 12 and 22 ,I looked at doing this about 1 year ago through the guy that imported my car for me,but it was 4800 for bronze black silver ,I think white was slightly dearer.

Nice mate. I don't usually like 19s on a GTR but you have changed my opinion. Suits the car to a tee. Perfect. Congrats

Yeah i used to have that same opinion on the 19's, but for the street and depending on the wheel type, i think they can look quite nice

The photos were taken from yarra blvd I believe. Nice little bit of twisty action. Not the best for the 34 gtr but nevertheless lots of fun if you're bored :)

Those rims are the best for any 34 gtr. Hard to source so I went with TE37's

Just perfect, no repaint required.

Leave as is.

Plus, keep them in original and minty condition and they will only appreciate in value.

PM me if you want to know where to get a set of unbeatable lock nuts.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.

    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
