Hey guys,

I'm after these specific brand of wheels. Only place that stock WedSport I could find is JJR but I don't particularly want to bother them since they'd be going through a pretty hectic time right about now. And even they don't have the model I'm after.

I've tried about 4 wheel shops in perth/rocko/mandurah. no one stocks them. Tried Tech9, Westcoast Wheels, West State, and some others.

Does anyone know who can source these? :D

Nar I'm not waiting 4 months minimum for Nengun to dispatch it. I want them for Motorvation. And I want my entry form in by early September before I leave for Jap-land.

It's cool though, Nigel of Black Sun is helping me find them. :D

what model?

i can get most rims; can get them in within 4-6days (big cost in shipping) or 4-8weeks (little cost, big shipping time)

i to have been looking for rims but im having difficulty finding anyone who imports them without taking a ridiculous commission... you say you can get most rims? can you if possible pm me how much you would charge to import:

(sets of 4 without tyres)

wed sport sa70's (18inch)

origin DNA 02's (17inch)

work xt7's (18inch)

i dont care how long shipping would take...prefer a lower cost

thanks

Yep the ones 'autoworx' posted is what I'm after.

SA-70 in Black Chrome 18". Thanks for making it discrete. lol. But PM if you can get me a price on them. :D

Got some spare Volk GTP's at home (which we're also selling), which I might put on for Motorvation submissions if I can't get these SA-70's in time.

Most of the money is here, people who know me know I don't time waste. :(

Magic have you tried Danny at imports101 i know he can get some weds sports wheels give him a call. :(

Nar man I havn't, I got my 34 from him last december. I'll shoot him an email and see what he can do, didn't know they could get parts too. Thanks. :D

Yeah Nengun have it priced good. Thing is I need them within 2 months. I'll be on holiday late oct-november. Danny/Imports 101 has given me a decent price although I lose about $500-600 for being impatient. I might contact Nengun to see if they can keep their 'usually'14 day delivery though, which i doubt.

Well 2 months is 60 days ... you should be ok.

Why would you give anyone 600 dollars more for something your not overly in a rush for?

Yeah, but I just don't want Nengun being Nengun and sending it like 432483209 days later.

Quote from Nengun: "We do not keep wheels in stock, due to the manufacturing process it can take up to 2 months or more. In some cases 5 months for Rays wheels to be made up. Please take this into account before placing your order. After placing your order you are provided with a Automated shipment date. This time of arrival has no relation when concerning wheels."

Upon saying that, I will consider them still, just need to think about it.

Can someone help with the offset please? Would +36 or +42 be a better fit for r34 front with 8" width? And +20 or +32 for rear with 9"width? I know it's gonna have to be a tight fit.. I think +36 for front and +32 for the rear with 9" width but I want to be sure. Thanks. :)

Edited by Magic

Thanks man, so 8+36 at the front and 9+32 on the rear should fit..hopefully. lol.

Also are the 5 ppl that pm'd me saying they can get them for me still trying to get me a price on them? Let me know. Cheers.

Ok.

Nengun - rather large company located directly in Japan with direct links to manufacturers.

How are these 5 people that pm'd you going to be able to source these rims any quicker if Wedsport have none in stock?

Suggestion - email nengun and ask for an ETA before you order.

    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
