Hah, I will if these Volks don't come through, I've posted in the thread and PM'd him, no response.

The ONLY downside to those sexy VX's is that they look very pretty and I'd hate to scrape them up, which I will definitely do because I can't drive for beanz :P

I've already told Jin that those wheels are second on my list!

i'm going 5 stud, so there is more choice.

GTR offset is from +12 to +24 depending on width of the rim.

i'm after something 9" or 9.5" wide. Been all over yahoo auctions lately trying to find some. Almost bought some old skool 17x9 ADVAN Tri-spokes in GTR offset but someone out bid me.

I've missed out an a few wheels on here as well, coz i always see them too late :P

Lol, I'm also after rims, same offset, 9 / 9.5 or 10 wide, 9.5 is my preferred choice.

Also on yahoo auctions, nearly bidded on the Advan Tri-spokes.

What are you after?

I'm bargain hunting <1K if possible for 17 *9 lightweight rims, I don't care much about style, don't mind the rim been badly scratched, all I care is that its balanced and not cracked :P

Does anyone know if you can repair a rim if its not balanced? There are no cracks and the rims are cheap but the seller says its not balanced...they're really nice rims otherwise... EDIT: 1 of the 4 rims is not balanced

You are spoiled for choice then you bastard :P

Definitely post pics when u hook something up.

You going to Nov DECA?

Why won't these people get back to me... is it that hard to reply to a PM and let me give you money...

Ah yeah i'll definitely be at deca again if Exams don't screw it up.

Enkei RP-F1s for $1.7k are so tempting, but trying to keep it budget as well

I'm after some lightweight wheels 17x9, 9.5 in GTR offset, i realized keeping it under $1k is very hard, so i raised my budget to a bit over $1k.

Balancing rims is very easy btw. its just those weights you see stuck on the inside of the wheel.

They chuck ur wheel on the balancing machine, spin her up, and then a red spot on the dial shows where the imbalance is, they get the special wheel balancing tape and stick the weights on the inside of the barrel and spin again until the imbalance is within tolerance

Try to get a quote from a local workshop 1st.

I drove down to melb last weekend to buy those exact rims. They were advertised as 8" all round but are only 7" on the front ()ad has since been fixed). That's too narrow up front so I drove 6hrs for nothing...

Thanks for the find though, I did intend on buying those.

Looks like I'm buying the Volks.

f**k that, add me on MSN, in future if its inner suburbs or out east I will check the width and condition of the rims for you for the cost of fuel(5-10bux from my place to most inner/east/SE areas) No point you driving 6hrs for nothing, and I am sure there is someone out west(maybe Mo/tubz) who could do the same. Then you just netbank the guy the deposit if they pass inspection and you come and get them.

if i knew earlier i could've told you those rims were 7s front 8s rear.

I was going to buy then when they were 1st up for sale like 2 months ago, the guy said they had 215 and 235s tires.

he was said they may be 8 front and 8.5 rear, but i asked if there tires had any stretch and he said no.

i have run 215s on 7s and 215s on 8s, and 215s on 8s do show visible stretch.

so i obviously didn't get them

[email protected] <-- is my msn :) Feel like going to check out these Volks in Doncaster? lol he said they are sound structurally though and he seems genuine as I already told him I would be pissed off if I drove down and they were shit. Scratches and marks I don't mind though, they are track rims after all.

I'm also happy to inspect things/take pics etc for people up here also.

Hahah, damn, would have been great to know that :D

If anyone else is hunting there are Enkei RP-F1s in 9/9.5/10 for <$1700, group buy anyone? lol

Cheap for new rims, I'll bargain hunt a little longer and if I get bored I'll buy them, the 10" is 7.7kg / rim!

And Gram Light 57D http://www.skyline-gt.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=325263 http://www.nengun.com/rays-engineering/gram-lights-57d similar money, Nengun says forged, Access says cast though :S

Let me know if you decide to buy them,

my tax return should be here in a couple of weeks, so i should have the required budget then.

This was advertised on the Supraforums.

http://www.ozzycarsales.com.au/wheels/index.htm

It just a website where people can sell their 2nd hand wheels, it's new so there aren't many up yet, but I'll definitely keep it in mind.

Group buying will make no difference, I confirmed with Jesse, I'll keep hunting on yahoo auctions but all the good rims do go for serious $$$ :)

$1700 for brand new RP-F1s is a real deal,

i see second hand RP-F1s selling for more when you + shipping.

how much would Jesse be able to get TE37s for? is he able to get a good deal like RP-F1s?

I see second hand in Aus selling for more than Jesse Streeter's prices!

Its not 1700 its less than $1700 :P

I have not asked him about TE37's, he gets good prices on everything but I feel bad about asking him so many questions.

I love these SE37's but they are going to go above $1500 second hand so I might as well buy new...

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
