Hi Folks :rolleyes:

I'm looking into getting some Wedsport TC105N's shipped down to Melbourne, but don't seem to know any one who could get me these wheels here.

If you know an company/business or individuals who specialise in this field and most imporantantly, are reasonable people who don't take much commission, please let me know.

Cheers

These are the wheels I'm after.

Are you searching for the wheels online?

OR

Have you already found them and need someone to transport them to Melbourne from another state or another country?

If you're reffering to yahoo auctions, no i haven't found them online.

I need some one who could purchase these wheels from Japan (from the factory or wheel shops) and get them shipped here.

By the way folks, if there are any others that know those who are in this business, please do let me know.

I don't want to be limited on one person, i would be going for the person who takes the least commission.. Thanks.

After weeks of trying to find some rims that would suite the color and the lines of my car, i decided to settle for 18" Gravity Gullflame in Gold colour, 9.5" wide.

It's really essential for me to get the widest tyres available for a R33 GTST, so i was thinking 275's at the back and 245's at the front.

The 9.5" width rims come in these offsets: +15, +25 and +35

.. and the 8.5" width rims come in these: +25 and +35

Should I go both front and rear the same width rims? or Should i perhaps go 8.5" for fronts?

What is the ideal offset for front and rear wheels?

Do you think i could get same offset rims for front and rear on a gtst?

I want these wheels to exact like the ones you see in the top pic.

Help me plzzz..

+1 for Aaron giving the best rimjobs in town.

He's a giant among oompa-loompas. Landed my Advan RS rims before any other chump had them in Aus, and at a good price.

Or - for stuff that's bigger than wheels, speak to Deb at Aust-Orient Motorsports Logistics.

Well i think you will probably have trouble fitting 9.5" rims on the front.

My 32 has 17x8 +25 on the front and 17x9 +35 on the back, and they really only just fit.

R33's have a bit more room apparently though.

I can't really make up my mind between those pictured TC105N's above or these different sets i found later on.

If i have to go for TC105N's (as pictured above) i would need to get them both front and rear 9.5" with a +10 offset. If i go for 8.5" with a 32" offset, they have a different face called FACE:R and it doesn't look like the one above.

I really need to know if 9.5" would fit in 33's, don't mind if it rubs innder guards on full lock as I'll try to avoide sharp u-turns most of the times.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
