Its an 97 r33 gts-4 which is 4 stud, meaning its really hard to find good rims.... so far.

I found some decent looking rims imo, but the problem is im not sure theyll fit, im thinking they wont, but wouldnt hurt to ask.

Personally id prefer 18 inch rims but they are kinda difficult to find.

My car at the moment isnt lowered, its up high as hell i can prob fit my dog in the gap lol, if that helps.

After reading some very old threads ive seen people have had problems fitting 20inch in there r33, so im not going to take the risk and adjust stuff just to fit them in unless its possible i guess...

Anyone seen any rims for sale that you think would look good on an r33? Id want atleast 18 inch, probably willing to go 19 inch max unless 20 fits, but mostly want 18.

Whatever you think looks good, also has to be 4 stud or multi stud? Please post if you see anything!

Yes ive looked all over ebay,gumtree tyre stores etc, im not really sure what to put on this car, seeing as you guys are experts with these kind of cars, i figured youd have more knowledge and know what looks best on these cars.

thanks.

Yeah, not going to get 20s, rims arnt really the best either but being a 4 stud, not that much of a selection.

I found these which i think look pretty good, they come in silver aswell

Ive seen another skyline same colour (silver) but a series 1 have them, they looked pretty good. What do you guys think, would they look good on a r33? If so black or silver?

Its just the stock silver colour they came with. I think im probably going to get those rims, but im also interested in some deep dish with silver lining, i saw one with them and they look sick, just cant find any 4 stud of them so right now im most likely to get those drift teks. I think ill try look for some 2nd hand ones or anything that looks really similar as them, if i cant find any then ill just go down to a shop i know which has them. What would you guys do first, lower your car or fit the rims on them first? Dont really have enough for both at the moment, until my other car gets sold anyway.

Also how much do you think i would get for the rims that are on currently? Once i buy new rims i wont have any use for them.

From what i know, these are called osaka fusion rims. there 17inch multi stud pattern with potenza tyres i think.

What do you think would be a fair price for these when i put them on ebay, they are pretty much in perfect condition not a single scratch,mark,rust or anything, i think whoever put them on the car must of put them on really recently. (i bought the car a few weeks ago)

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋

      Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.

      So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yep, this bit another local owner. I caught it before putting the transmission back into the car, what I noticed was the pressure plate fingers weren't flat and even. It's more obvious with the pull style clutch because the throwout bearing ring was visibly not flat once everything is put together. Nismo should really update their instructions to call out this specific detail. I'm not even sure the clutch as-shipped orients everything properly.
