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.....

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.

blah blah blah

DO IT!!!!!

im sure its possible :)

AHAHAH thanks silver gtst for your suppport...

I may have to listen to the feedback and see what can be done, have seen some wheels with exra holes drillled in them to make em fit...Hmmm but i really dont think so if the offset is out 40mm...

Just wish i could find a way.....

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??

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
