Does anyone know of a company here in Aus that sells 4 stud deep dish, looking for 15x8 and I guess

a 0 offset. Even a supplier in Japan that does'nt involve trying to decrypt pages of Japanese. Or if you've got some tucked away that your willing to part with would be even better. I don't want Wantanabes, but will consider other spoked items. I've looked at import monster and not much in there, quite like some of the hayshiracing mags but again it's that whole Japanese decrypting that is a Head F #@K.

I'd also like a simple Y or N to the C210 being a 0 offset. Cheers

15x8 0 would be a good starting place. wouldnt be a hot boso fit but if your just going for a tidy street car thats where id start.. best bet is before you spend shitloads is to ask around on forums and test fit some wheels. importing is not feasable, and even people who own imported wheels want more now.

sportsmaxx make some decent sized wheels for the money. just under $900 delivered for a set of 15x8 0s

alternatively there is superlites/ challengers but i recon the challengers belong on a XY falcon and the superlites on an escort. good sized wheels for the coin though.

heres some inspiration

HGC211F14x8-6R14x105-38.jpg

Front: 14×8 -6 Rear: 14×10.5 -38 F: 175/60 R: 185/60

I think a zero offset for the front would be fine in an 8" but rears will need alot more negative offset to fill the guards(going from the above pic).

As for finding wheels, keep an eye on www.ae86drivingclub.com.au

often see wheels in decent negative offset pop up from time to time.

Thanks for the info, my rear guards will be cut out shortly and flared fenders attached so no problem with fitting 8" rims. So 0 offset for front and back should be ok. Looked at ae86 tonight and there does appear to be a few rims like what I'm after selling there. Again thanks Ricky, Dsh4, are those Wantanabes? they don't look so bad. Don't suppose you post items from there do you?

Thanks for the encouraging responses guys, as i said in my opening thread I'm not so keen on the Wantanabe look. I've seen so many other mags on C210's all in Japan of course, so there must be a heap of different designs available. Probably just not over here.

Infiniteautosport.com.au I just found this site whilst googling sportsmax 002. They've got some ok looking rims. Mostly 2nd's by the look of it. Once again thanks for your helpful info. With each new reply I'm finding more and more rims and avenues. Cheers. Don't spose anyones seen some Indy style rims, the ones with hole instead of spokes, I do like this style. In 4 weeks approx I'll be selling my rims for $400, near new tyres on each rim post-44326-1235565084_thumb.jpg,

Message sent to Steve. Had a long think about this offset business last night, and dsh4 is about on the money. Looked in my C210 service manual last night and found that the offset is + 25, but that's for a 5' rim. If I'm going 8" or even 9" the offset is definately going to have to swing back into negative by a long way. Think it's time too seek professional help as I don't want to stuff this up.

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.
