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.

    • The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.
    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
