Ok i know the GTR wheels are 8 inch wide wheras the GTST is 6.5 inch wide and gtr is forged, but is there any way you can tell by just looking at them that they are GTR wheels? I bought wheels last year and just recently read that gtr wheels have a 'forged' marking inside but i cant find it anywhere! the rim says 690kg and ive got 225/50 tyres on them.

Take the rim off and look on the back usually on one of the spokes. It will tell you all you need to know.

like this one it writes forged around the center cap?

if mine are not gtr but gtst rims, then why do they have holes drilled into them around the center caps?

Just take the wheel off and look on the back.

i cant right now, i will do it tomorrow, but like that link i posted, shouldnt it have markings around the center caps if they are gtr, and none if they are gtst? also exactly where on the back?

also why do mine have holes drilled into them

GTR wheels. GTST are 6 or 6.5 wide

Ok thanks but it still doesnt answer the question as to why there are no engarved markings around the center caps like the one in this picture: http://www.cruzinforacure.com/Skyline/IMG_5078_800x533.jpg

I think you should cut them in half to confirm; Ben was definitely onto something.

ill cut it in half and shove it up your lawyers ass :yes:

by the way...your car ---

R32 GT-R = 16x8 +30

R32 GTS-t = 16x6.5 +40

If I may add. It's been 26 years since the first gtrs rolled off the line, any number of things could have happened to them. Were there any other markings behind the spokes? They could well be non genuine.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
