Hey guys,

I recently purchased a set of R33 GTR wheels. I have a few queries though as i am slightly paranoid. I first noticed that they are missing the "FORGED" stamp in the middle of the wheels around the studs - but the wheels also look resprayed so i thought maybe it was just sanded back?

The markings which the wheels DO have

-"VIA" and "JIL" around the outside edge.

-"ET+30", "17x9J", "MAX LOAD", "690KG", "C", "T6" and "M" all appear on the inside of the wheels on different spoke backings.

If i am just being paranoid feel free to slap me. All of a sudden i have notions that they are not real forged GTR wheels but cheapo cast rims.

Thanks in advance.

No "NISSAN" stamp anywhere im afraid. They VERY much look the part of real wheels and i doubt that anybody would go to the effort of faking R33 wheels BUT i was hoping either somebody could confirm they are real or tell me something that they are also definitely missing.

All the r 33 gtr wheels that i have seen have : forged 17x9jj30 Nissan 24u10 3k35 jw .

These are the markings they have in the centre near the the plastic cap .

No other markings on the ouside side of the wheel , they have some numbers on the inside as well .

Looks like you may have copies there , i'm in sydney , if you want to bring one around my place ( Hills area ) i can check it and tell you for sure .

I could send you a pic but its very hard to tell if they are good copies .

So kind of you to make such an offer - you don't know how relieving it would be for me to know whether or not they are real.

If you do not mind too much, do you think you could take a quick look at these tonight?

We could meet somewhere neutral so as i do not have to know where you live.

If you use msn: [email protected]

Thanks.

      Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
