OK guys I know how sacrificial and immorale this may sound but I just can't help it,

I wake up in a cold sweat everynight even thinking about how wrong it must be

But I loooooove the BMW wheels in the pic and was wondering if a photoshop expert could please photoshop them somehow onto my ride.... i just think they would look sweet of i got rid of the BMW badge..........

If someone could help me with this would be much appreciated....

Below is the pic of my car and the wheels that i just can't stop thinking about, i currently have 17's and would like to put the BMW look alike 18's on.....

photoshoppers ....please help....

they kinda remind of the do luck double six but with a few extra spokes....

anyone know if they would they fit a r33 gtst?

GTshortie and 51jay are 100% correct.

I have a BMW, and I have a GTR.

BMW is 5x120 PCD

Nissan is 5x114.3 PCD

They won't even slide onto the hubs because the hub bolts are in different spots. Just because they have 5 holes in them, doesn't mean they're the same.

And you're completely forgetting about offset too. BMW E46s use a +40mm offset front and rear and won't be right for your R33 GTS-t.

You can get hub spacer’s machined up to suit that stud pattern. Like the 4 to 5 stud bolt on hubs, thus bolting onto your 4 studs and the spacer having 5 studs. As you already have 5 studs, I can’t see why you couldn’t get them machined up, but have the new stud pattern made to be 5x120.

These wouldn’t be an off the self-item, and would be custom made of course. Then you have to deal with the BMW off set being wrong…

Work out easier getting rims to suit a Skyline in opinion. But hey be different, could be interesting.

Am talking to a metal engineer friend of mine on Tuesday about seeing what can be done with the wheels as we have a public holiday on Monday (YAY!)

Too scared to think how much it would cost but will soon find out!

anyone managed to do a bit of photoshopping for me??

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).

      EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
