Some already know,and for those that don't,my R32 GT-R is undergoing a restoration of sorts. More a serious upgrade,I s'pose. As such,the little beastie wont be turning a wheel in anger for a while yet,so I thought I'd off my trackday rims and tyres in the interim. They're Sparco Pythons,purchased from one of our good Canberra members who'll no doubt have all the spec's if I ask(as I've clean forgotten yesterday,let alone specifications like offset...). What I do know is:17" x 9",with the offset to fit the BNR32 with no clearance issues(my car is lower than standard,but sits just above legal road height...). Tyres are Falken RX-04V II's in 245/45/ZR17,which are a sticky trackday compatable rubber;not DOT approved,so you'd run the risk(and the wear issues)if you used them on public roads,especially if it rains! However,once heated up on the track,I dropped over 2 seconds off my Wakefield lap times,and there'd be more if I didn't drive like a nancy boy...So;cheap trackday rims that are a bit scratched and biffed up-nothing that appears structural,or I wouldn't have used them-no centre caps,with tread at 90%,including wheel nuts,for $1000 firm. Buyer organises pickup/transport/freight;PayPal,direct deposit or the traditional folding stuff only. PM me if needs be,and we'll go from there! Jayce.

Are these rims 4/5x114.3? or 5x100/5x114.3?

Cheers Phillb

Ermmm...whatever the standard R32 GT-R takes? I actually have zero idea what measurement you're refering to:what do I need to measure to answer you properly?

looks like they are multi-fit rims

so they have both 114.3 x 5 stud pattern

and 114.3 x 4 stud pattern

so will fit 5 stud jap cars (except subarus) and fords

and 4 stud jap cars (most RWD's)

cheers

Ah,right! I know now what phillb was refering to. True,they are multifit's:nobody has redrilled 'em:they came that way from the factory!

they are multifit, i used to have a set and still have the centrecaps

jase id b interested in them for sure without the tyres if ur willing to seperate

Sorry mate;I paid more for just the rims,so the price is intended to give me more room in the shed when the buyer takes everything! I don't need the tyres sitting around,as they too wont get used for many a month otherwise! Plus,I'd have to drop more dollars off for "just the rims",taking into account your long haul from the Riverina(see? I'm always thinkin' of you! LOL!)...So,sorry;they're a "job lot"!

I would like to look at them and take them off your hands today if you are around. I have PM'd you with my number, give me a call.

Cheers

    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
