Hi y'all

Located: Melbourne

Thinking of ditching my AVS Model 5's, 17" Silver. Wrapped in Advan Neova tyres, 235's front, 255's rear.

I believe the rims are 17 x 8 and 17 x 9, not 100% sure.

Front tyres are quite worn, rears still have some meat left.

Need to check, but i believe 3 rims are fine, 1 has some scuffs/scratches...

here's a crappy pic in the mean time...

daniel

not 100% sure, just seeing if there is any interest out there,

kinda have an idea in mind, spoke to a fairly large parts supplier based in melbourne who brings in a lot of rims from japan, and he told me a rough idea of what he thought was reasonable.

you looking for some new 17" rims?

I meant that "did he price them too high?" but yeah high nonetheless. 17's i didnt think would go for that much cause there are alot better rims second hand going for that much in good condition and some are 18's

ok checked JMS, and like a few people have said they have the exact same rims, they are NOT the same.

There were TWO versions of this rim, the older being a power coated white Model 5, which IMO, doesn't look as good, and is a fair bit older. Please don't compare TWO different rims.

i got more pics

not as much tread now, as shown in these pics

JMS have the OLDER model 5's.

sorry Al, i think the old ones don't have anything on this design. They look cheap, the same style you see on Lancers with the red in between the spokes, looks nasty with that smooth curved surface.

name another rim you like in that style? you won't be able to. All the other 'favourite' rims are in "pieces". GT4's, the workmeisters, TE-37's, CE28's, etc, etc, they all have the "step", that bevelled kinda step... anyways, not here to debate rim styles, thanks for your post i guess...

Perhaps $1800 is a bit high, although these aren't cheap rims, nor do they have cheap rubber. I don't think you can just blanket say, for 17's is too much. It depends on the rims and rubber. Top Jap 17" rims can easily go for $2.5k with good rubber (2nd hand, yahoo auctions). And considering these tyres go for about $300 a corner, and they are genuine top-shelf Jap brand rims, it's unfair to compare them to some ROH/Tempe rim price.

$2799 for a set. JUST rims

yes, they are 18's or possible 19's, but it's the style to get a better idea. I'm sorry, but the older model 5's have nothing on this version

So you're looking $2.8K for rims, NEW, plus about $1.2K+ for tyres, NEW, pushing $4000 for this set BRAND NEW.

I know my rims and tyres aren't brand new, but just want to let people know exactly what's here. That's all.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
