Nismo LM-GT1 (18"x10" +12) by Rays Engineering



No turning back now! Off to Melbourne to pay and pick up the Nismo LM-GT1 rims for the R33.




After a sleepless night and waking up at 4am, I arrive at Sydney Airport prior to the 6am flight! 1.5 hrs on a bus to Melbourne CBD, 30 mins train trip to meet Iqbal (the seller), I finally cast my eyes on my wheels!



My first impression was the tyres are too skinny! Luckily,Iqbal had another set of 265x35x18. So off to the shop to get them changed!


Next couple of hours was spent packing the tyres and wheels with cardboard and worrying about whether Jetstar will allow me to check in 4 wheels in garbage bags!!! That plus the fact that time was ticking and I had to be back in Melbourne CBD to catch the Bus to Avalon! (made it with less than 5 mins to spare!)

Got to the airport and checked in and I was 42kg over!!! Had $4.00 in total when I arrived in Sydney. The savings card was over the withdrawal limit and the car was half a klm away!!!

I eventually arrived home at around 9:30pm!!!

Well worth the trouble?
