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.

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.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
