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 :-)

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???

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

And if you like white:

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
