Probably posted before, I searched but couldn't find any info...

I'm looking to buy a set of R35 GTR Rims...they dont need to have tyres, just the rims will do. If you know anyone or somewhere that I can buy these wheels then please feel free to let me know as I have been doing my head in for a few weeks looking.

Alternatively, if you can recommend any wheels that are "similar" or that are "replicas" that would be great as well but would prefer the real thing.

The car I am looking to put it on is a 350Z....I saw a photo of one a couple of weeks ago with the R35 Rims and it looked shit hot!

Cheers,

G

Firstly, you will probably get a shock on how much they are selling for in Japan. Last time I saw a set it was like about 500,000 which equates to about $8,000 AUD and that's before importing them.

Obviously, in time, prices will go down. But when the demand is there, prices will be at a premium.

im waiting for a reply... i sent them a PM but no reply yet.

Hi George, sorry for the delay, we are flat out over here at the moment.

We do have a couple of sets however I am just confirming if we can locate another set for you at this stage.

As soon as I have further details for you I will flick you a pm.

Thanks for being patient.

Cheers,

Steve

Thanks Steve,

Please get back to me when you are able. I am looking at purchasing these as soon as possible. With or without rubber is fine, just let me know when you have more info for me. Thanks mate.

Oh and just in regards to the colors (as I know it I believe they come in silver and dark silver) either way both are fine just let me know which ones you have (or if you have both I can choose) :D

    • 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
    • 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.
