They look like the new nismo ones! if i was in the market these would be sold right now! good luck!

  • 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.

    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
