Yup they are 4 stud mags.  After christmas I will go mag shopping but until then these will have to do.  Wheels are probably the weekest part of the car atm.

So it was a NA conversion to turbo?

Your wheel offsets looke like +45, thats why they are so sunken in the gauards. You need +38 offset front and back on a r33 to get them to sit right!!

Nice car BTW

Thanks for the comments. Yea I got the car a few months ago as an unfinished project. Alot of the interior had been done and it had been resprayed. The car had also just had the NA engine swapped out for a DET and an Auto to Man conversion.

When I got it the car was horrible to drive. It was still stock but with bigger injectors and fuel pump and had no power and fuel blowing out the exhaust.

Things I have had to do is finish the interior, completely redo all the electical work inside. Basically when the indiglow covers where fitted to the dash the needles were removed and every guage was stuffed. Had to replace dash, redo all the wiring behind the dash, recalabrate speedo and fitted stereo and turbo timer.

Have spent close to 8k on the car after buying it. Motor is very nice now but still needs another tune as it's missing in first at around 4200rpm (and knock sensor was too high for my liking). Once I do wheels and new turbo I will be happy with it for a while.

Ohh and the comment about the glare off the dash is true. ATM you will go snowblind driving this car on a bright day. My interior guy is doing up a custom dash mat that will fix the glare problem.

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • 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
