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.

    • 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
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
