I've got a set which I will sell - no tyres.

Relatively unmarked you can buy for $1500 but you would need to arrange transport from Brisvegas.

I think $ 1500 is a bit too much without tyres , would yo settle with $1200

and I will get them pcked up.

are you anywhere closer to Milton in QLD?????????????????????

Please advise.

r33 gtr rims are very nicely made i got to say. definately better options than most oif your average tempe-style cheapies. they command such a high price because of that fact. they're quite lightweight too! i'm considering having mine powder coated...

d

They are about $3300 each from Nissan , they are a forged rim and very strong but they are not light ( for a forged rim ) the 34 gtr rim is 1/2 kilo lighter and its 18 x9 .

You don't want to put Chinese rims on any hi performance car , so any decent rims will be over $3 k for a new set .

given, they aren't the lightest rim in the world, but for an OEM rim, they're not bad! evens till, they're cetrainly lighter than your average bling roller and most of the time lighter than cheap knock-off "JDM-racing-style" volk/enkei/work/etc etc fakie.

i picked up a rim the other day that looked quite nice (smoked gunmetal-ish colour 6x square spokie thing) and looked lightweight, but was frickin' heavy! it was a 17x9 and a good couple of kilos heavier than my 33 rims... at least...

Because BCNR33 wheels are forged...you can hardly compare them to bodg chinese cast wheels.

First I've heard anybody say its actually for the weight benefits..

Most that i see with GTR rims seem to be your typical ricer lappers that couldn't care less.

Many of the genuine Engei's, volks, etc - in 18" can get for ~$2k for a set these days.. direct from japan brand new :confused:

You certainly can't get any forged 18 inch rims from Japan for anywhere near 2k.

I'll have a few sets of new forged jap rims ( 18" ) for $2000 , how many can you get me and how soon .

P.M. if you like .

?? and there are a few around that price point..

alright.. looks like most of them on there that are cheaper are cast .. still, they're not crappy chinese copies..

haha...and if you think you are going to do the dodgy and try to bring in a set of wheels without paying duty and GST on the goods and frieght, you have another thing coming. You will almost always get stung on big items like wheels.

And yes...they are cast. Price the forged gramlights

did I say that? or did I say exactly $2,000 even? I said around $2k.... a few hundred dollars more than what GTR rims go for.

all I am saying is you are not necessarily going to get crap rims for around $2k .. and if we are comparing *second hand rims* (which we are)... there are lots of other options available, big brands and otherwise :P

Umm, gordo they're both cast rims...

I'd like a set of R33GTR rims as track rims, but they won't clear the brakes I want, so probably going R34s :P

I personally like the idea of keeping it 'factory' ie. even though it's an R32GTR, it still has GTR rims ;)

    • 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.  
    • 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
