Hi all,

I'm on the hunt for R34 GTT OEM 17" wheels with semis or semi-like track tyres in 225/45R17 (or close), with decent meat left:

  • RE55
  • A050
  • AD08
  • 595RSR
  • KU36

R34 GTT OEM wheels preferred but may consider others that are very close in size i.e. 17 x 7.5", 5/114.3 PCD, +40 offset.

(I'm running 20mm spacers and would prefer to retain them so I can easily swap between street and track wheels without re-Locktiteing...)

Let me know what you've got.

What about a set of Oz Racing, 17 x 8 and +38 (I think - need to confirm). They are Evo rims, so 67.1mm hub, but can supply with a set of alloy hub spacers to fit Skyline. Currently fitted with Toyo R1R's in 235/45 (once again, need to confirm), with tread left (not huge amount, but got a few track days left in them).

Rims were professional re-painted in 2 pack not so long ago, but 1 has a small area needing a patchup. There is also a 5th rim with no tyre available.

They belong to my son, if interested I'll get full details & confirm price. We ran these for a while on an R33 GTST without spacers, and they could have done with a bit more poke.

Thanks Geoff, great wheels with good tyres. Unfortunately the different hub size won't work in my application as I'd prefer not to swap two different types of spacers in and out..

The spacers I'm talking about fit into the back of the rim, and stay there. They come off the car with the rim. They are like:

They are there to make the rim's hub hole fit to the car's hub.

Tyres are 235/40R17

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
