Item:

Volk GT-C 18x8 +36 18x9 +36 w/ 225/45R18 Yokohama DNA GP @ 80%

Location: Gailes QLD

Website:

Item Condition: 9/10

Reason for Selling: Would prefer Gunmetal & 10" for rear.

Price and Payment Conditions: $3000 w/ tyres & lug nuts (lug nuts brand new), $2600 w/o tyres.

Extra Info:

Can supply brand new centrecaps (was going to keep them for the next set, but will buy another set if it means a sale) $200.

One rim has a small defect that I'm going to be having repaired this week. I thought I'd polish out a scratch not realising they had a clear coat and rubbed through the clearcoat with 1500 grit sandpaper. Can see my thread about it in the tech section. I'll be having them refinished (remachined & cleared) by depulu wheels on the gold coast. This will be costing me around $80. If you want to pick them up before I get the repair done take $100 off the asking price, and you can have them recleared yourself.

Apart from that, the rims are in otherwise excellent condition. There is no gutter rash at all. One of the 'volk racing' stickers is missing little bits and pieces.

Few initial pics, I'll get one of the volk racing sticker today.

Do not bother low balling me. I bought these rims around 9 months ago (fresh from japan) and still haven't got to use them as my car is currently off the road. I don't intend to lose alot of money on these and will keep them if I cant get my money back out of them.

Picture of the rim that I'll have refinished, or you can get refinished and pay $100 less. Depulu quoted me $78 to machine the surface (get rid of the old clear) and then reclear it. Turn around of around two days. I'll probably take this down to them monday unless someone says they want the rims as is, before then.

Ah right! Price drop! 2800 inc. brand new centrecaps, lug nuts, tyres, the whole lot. The catch. One rim has one mismatched bolt. Wouldn't know if it wasn't pointed out, or you didn't look from inside the rim. Heads more or less the same, however, the nut on the back side is larger then the rest. Sent the rim away to Depulu Wheels on the Gold Coast to have one of the lips repolished. They returned it to me with the mismatched nut saying nothing about it. Called them today and they said that the original sheered when torquing it up, and they couldn't source one. Not only that, there is now a solitary scratch across one of the spokes, look like it may have been caused by a stanley knife or something, not very obvious (ie cant see it in pics or from more then a couple of metres away) however, it is there. Highly recommend anyone doesn't use Depulu for wheel repairs. The fact they try to hide damage they caused shits me off more then the damage itself as its quite minor.

Won't be using them again at any rate.

Will entertain near offers guys. Dogs gotten sick with mange or something so now I gotta foot the vet bill :( And my car is at least two months off of running, and I have another set of rims layin around anyway.

I couldn't personally tell you. If your local to me your more then welcome to come test fit them though. If it helps, I ran 16" r33 rims on my car for a while. They fit like such - http://members.optusnet.com.au/qikmr2/mr2drags.jpg

I'll try find some info for you though, if your interested.

From the registry on this site:

Skyline model = R33 GTST

wheel type= advan racing series 1 tri spoke

Wheel diameter = 17"

Wheel width = 8" front 9" Rear

Wheel offset = +35 Front +35 Rear

Tyre size = 235/45/17 Front 235/45/17 Rear

Modifications to fit: none

Basically exact same offset and width, so I assume these would be fine.

I thought MR2 was front wheel? :S

Anyways coming to sydney any time soon? Thought id throw out a feeler.. As im keen but un-keen because your in woop woop from me.

Nope, mr2 is rear wheel drive, mid mounted engine (basically FWD style setup, but in the back). Unfortunately no to the Sydney. My gf has relatives in Orange NSW and she wanted to go there for christmas, however, she failed to tell me with enough time to make arrangements, ie, annual leave etc.

GRRR... No good :whistling:

Ill save my pennys like we discussed and ill get back to you... If anyone has a R34 GTT and can confirm these will clear the brakes it would be great if you could help out either test fitting or confirming fit.

I like them :)

Hey mate,

I've been having a look around and I think the wheels will fit fine. There will also be no issues with brake clearance. These are a high disk offset and fit cars with large brembo's etc from the factory.

7.5 +40 is apparently the factory wheel size and offset. Going off this the front wheels will stick out 10mm more then the factory fronts & the rear wheels will stick out 19mm more then the factory rears. Usually there is alot of room between the factory guards and stock wheels.

Know someone going to Sydney boxing day who could probably deliver otherwise I could have them freighted.

Cheers,

James.

    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.  
    • No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
    • Just wanted to unearth this and post my baby with the new front ❤️😝 Took her to my wedding rehearsal today. Next up is getting wide skirts (after wedding)
