  • 2 weeks later...

NEW ...comes complete with free rim rash!!! ...god i'll be pissed as $##*% ...hope u get a refund Chris....or a fantastic explanation

Happily. Will take a few more pics (That aren't using my phone, like the other ones :)) in the daylight tomorrow.

Don't see the point though, even if it was jsut the 1 rim - still f*cked. Still not what was paid for.

**Update**

He has just offered to refund me 100$ to fix damage to wheels.

still waiting for pics.........

I think its high time you stepped back and let your mate Silbeer who actually sold the rims do the explaining.

Theres no excuse for that, 25-50% of the "new" price shoudl be refunded.

Or a full refund plus postage so 51OWW can return the rims and get his money back..

Very very low silbeer....

Hard to see scrapes while not photo'ing them directly (mainly due to flash of camera as it's overcast outside)

However, the point is made that it's CLEARLY not on just one wheel. :laugh:

Probably shoulda taken all the photo's without the flas (like the one below) though, this was the last one - which i went back to get as i figured someone might think, the bad damage to the front and back is only on 1 wheel (Which is still NOT acceptable anyway)

Damage on inside of wheels is on outer sides of rim. Looks like they have all been rubbing on coilovers or something.

How the hell it has been damaged halfway into the wheel i have *NO* idea

White marks on tires is from the tape that he used to package. Not damage to tires.

Pics are in no specific order. Just took random photo's. I don't see why i should need to prove that they are all damamged - the fact is, there is damage. Which is NOT what was said/advertised :huh:

I'll have to see what happens with this claim he is going to give me back some money - but by the previous post - maybe i should be asking for more money back on this dud sale? (if i get any of it back at all ? )

There are more photo's - but that web hositing service just told me my account was full. So i can't post any more :)

thats just not acceptable. NEW is brand spanking new....if its been on the car for ONE day I would advertise it AS NEW assuming there are no imperfections.

What you got was nothing short of 2nd hand USED wheels with gutter rash. I would return the wheels and ask for a refund as you can buy these brand new for a tad more than what you paid.

Or, as you already have them, I'd definately be asking for 25-50% off the price you paid.

Basically what they would go for as 2nd Hand with Gutter rash....

Ask around at a few places that sell heaps of 2nd hand rims what price they might put on something with those sort of imperfections.

If they're alloy, don't forget most minor imperfections are easily fixed by machining, but I definately wouldn't be paying for it out of my pocket!

Thats shocking ban his arse. Shame to I have these rims on my gt-r and they are very nice. When I put my car into the gutter they looked better than those and i promtly went out and baught new ones.

my advice is request a full refund and send the wheels back after you receive it. see what he says. and try and negotiate to a point you are both happy.

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
