Item:Buddy Club QF 18x10 +12 Gunmetal Grey Forged Racing Wheels

Age: New

Condition: New

Price: SOLD

To Fit: GTR models

Location: Adelaide

Contact: PM, [email protected], 0413 250 250

Comments: I settled on these wheels after weeks of searching for an affordable lightweight Jap rim to suit my GTR. These also appealed to me because of the offset, tough agressive stance and dish. At same diameter and 1/2in wider they are same weight as Volk's lightest wheel, the CE28N. Buddyclub Australia retail these for $3800 before shipping.

These rims took almost 6 months to order from Japan. A lot has changed for me during this 6 month wait and my car will be going up for sale shortly so these are now for sale out of the box at my cost price.

More details can be found at http://www.buddyclub.com.au/

I also have 5 sets of 4 lightweight forged Buddy Club racing nuts to suit. These are at a cost of $174 and can be added onto the above sale

Looked at wheels for the first time this weekend. These are one very impressive wheel in the flesh. It kills me not to be able to fit these to my GTR :D

Thanks,

Wegs

I assume you havent actually received yet? If not when are you expecting delivery, how long ago did you place the order?

So will you be shipping from Adelaide to the sellers location, or change the address to go direct from Japan?

thanks

Correct, I haven't received these yet. I placed the order in November and paid up front (minus shipping). Was told to expect them late January but due to Buddyclub waiting to receive more orders worldwide before producing a batch I had to wait. Was told on friday these are expected from the factory in the next week. Because i won't be keeping them and because i have to pay shipping regardless I am advertising early in case someone can benefit from shipping them somewhere other than adelaide. If they don't sell i will take delivery to Adelaide and then re advertise.

Cheers

Turns out these were literally ready to ship 2 days after my post and couldn't be left waiting around in Japan. I have now taken delivery of these which also gives more buyer confidence about these being the real deal and in Oz ready for pickup/shipping.

      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.

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.

      And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.

      No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.
