Hi Guys

Looking for opinions and options for rims for R33 GTR.

Please post some pics - and any advice is appriciated.

I really like the R34 GTR rims on the R33GTR's - except I dont like the way they dont fill the guards - I guess spacers would fix this but I just dont know if spacers are a wise move.

Just looking at some options guys.

Thanks Again.

Daniel

i don't know but i do want your 33 GTR rims when you get new ones :cheers:

whatever you get i think 18X9.5 and around +18 offset will look nice. TE37s are pretty hard to beat.

R34 rims look great on 33's especialy white but still dont fill the guards you need 20 mm spacers , the 34 rims are the same offset as the stock 33 ( +30 ) . If you buy aftermarket rims in 18x10 you need 17 offset and they will feel the guards 100% to the edge .

If you need a picture to see let me know and i'll dig one up for you from my old 33.

That would be great mate if you could post pic - thanks heaps. Also wrxhoon is there any issue with spacers - are they safe to use.

Hey Dan - long time no speak. Car is not purchased yet - started looking this week. Looking for a series 3 r33 (white or platuimum) or a LM edition 96. Expecting to purchase in Jan.

Dan have also always been a fan of the Nismo LMGT2's

WHat colour car is this lovely new baby of yours?

rule of thumb the darker the car the shinier the wheels :-)

hi DAN,its me again. what about those NISMO LM GT4s?? they look really nice, i know its hard to find something like 18x10 or somthing with 17 offset.

also like someone else said, TE37s( gold or black) look good as well.

ill get somewheels once my car gets compliance(if i can afford them). maybe ill post up some pics.

Hey buddy

I was thinking something with a bit of dish for the rears to fill the guards - only problem is every dish wheel i see either looks ricey or shit.

Maybe LM GT4's.......

Need some pics with wheels on cars.

Daniel, I ran the R34 GTR wheels on my R33 GTR and despite looking great, the offset is wrong and they make the car look rather skinny from the back.

After a LONG search for the right wheel for my car, I purchased these Japanese Trafficstar DTS 3 piece wheels in 19 x 10 and couldnt be happier!

Mateeeee..... now thats how you dress a R33 GTR - stock , clean and simple... and the right colour as well.

Yours wheels look great, now thats what I'm after - like that or similar. I would also like going 19x10.

I had HR lightweight wheels on my old car. They were a five spoke design and the spokes came out slightlt wider than the rim. I had them in white and I loved them. The HR wheels i used to have but with dish -that would be my ultimate wheel.

Any more pic of you car??? Engine bay,etc you want to share???

not my cup of tea -I'm not a fan of thoes.

Daniel

You really can't beat Work Meisters... Has the simplicity and tough look of a TE37 paired with dish.

And if you like white:

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
