Hank scorpio- where can i find Work and Volt rims, i have seen Volt rims on some of my mates cars in sydney, they dont look to bad.

Since you're in NSW you could chat to the guys at Croyden Racing Developments. They deal with Racing Hart, Work and Volk/Rays Engineering (Volk and Rays Engineering are the same company, they also make the "Nismo" branded wheels). These guys are also an SAU trader.

You could also contact Wheelworx in South Australia, these guys deal with a large range of wheels. (May be a little more expensive then CRD)

You can also buy Work Wheels from the people themselves located I believe in New Zealand.

And as -Jimmy- suggested email Jesse Streeter. He will return your enquiry quickly and can get you anything out of Japan!

Hope that helps mate!

i asked tempe tyres if they could do that for the shadow rims on the first page. but they r only a distributar yea? they couldnt do it any way.

im gonna give argy tyres and bob janes and all them, see wat they have in a 4x114.3

ur gna have a hard time finding some nice 4stud rims that look normal on ur NA unless u can fork out a grand or 2 lol..i know i did :) most of the 4 stud rims u can find will fit but the offset is screwed and will sit behind ur guards, i got fed up and converted mine 2 5 stud and finding rims was a piece of cake ..looks ALOT betta too ;)

I got the rims today and am all happy with it :)

except for the center cap ..... It wont stay on because the hub keeps poping it off (the metal piece with split pin in it sticks out) dont know how to over come this because the cap stays on and i go to tighten the nuts and as the last nut goes on its too much and it pops the cap off.

Ohh dat sux.

Post up some pics, interested to see what they look like :P

umm no i have the stock 4 stud.

Yeah my dad is going to grind 2mm of the 6mm of metal thats there after the split in. I dont think this will be a problem, hes only shortening the metal and leaving some beef on it.

OR

i can get some really thin spacers, i only need 2mm!!!

I dont have tyres on the rims but i took a picture anyway :)

The kitty fell asleep next to them :D ^>

There sweet.

17x7

+42 offset

they are still under my guards with that offset so its all good :D

i can get 8piston Brembos in under these.

My dad fixed the problem today. He jacked the car and took the old rims off but it on bricks (HAHA looks funny like that) and look at what we could do and the rear hubs actually got a shorter thread and the split pin sits closer to the chassis so that metal thread isnt as long so my rims fir on without modding anything .... on the rear

The front we chopped 2mm of the 6mm thread before the pin and they fit fine now.

All sweet :P

yeah no problem. ill get the tyres on them. Ive only got 10% tread on the front right and 80% on the rest. Ive got to get the CV fixed :)

Anyone know who does a good CV? i really need it because i have grease all through my front right guard and my tyre is almost dead.

There are rims out there, you just need to know what you want and know how to find it.

Ditch searching from Tempe. What's your budget?

Something along the lines of these suit your criteria of 18 inch 4 stud.

18x8.5J+29

18x9.5J+29

Alternatively if you're dedicated you could do the turbo brake upgrade, and have better brakes with a larger variety of 18" wheels to choose from.

-Jimmy.

Dont give it away to everyone else Jimmy!..

I wanted these for mine!..

:laugh:

Of course.. I think Ill be getting a pair.. their eye wateringly expensive.. so ghetto miss matched rims for a while..

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
