I am converting my race car from 17" rims to 18" rims to accomodate a new monster brake kit and to help (a little) with gearing on a V8 conversion.

These 114.3 x 5 (RX-7, GTR, 200SX, Soarer, Supra, Falcon, FPV etc) rims fit over 4 piston brakes but will not fit over my new Monster 6 Piston AP brakes, so I am selling them all

I hope it is not confusing but thread rules state one thread in FS only

Here goes:

RIMS:

Rays Engineering Payton Place Silver Arrow 3 Piece alloys.

VERY strong. Ideal for race use. Jump ripple strips all day with confidence.

I have 4x 17"x 8" and 4x 17" 9 "so you can have two sets of staggered 8/9" or one set of 8" and one set of 9" if you buy both sets

8" $400 the set ($100 each)

9" $750 the set ($175 each)

I also have a set of 4x 17" x 9" +22 offset Yokohama Advan Rims. They are composite lightweight 9" rims powder coated red. $750 the set ($175 each)

TYRES:

Pirelli 225 62 17 wets bought new from Trofeo in 2008. The wets have done only 8 laps in the wet just to remove the green. Mike Navybox at Wakefield was witness to their running in and supervised me doing so. Call him for verification. They are perfect wets. BETTER THAN NEW BECAUSE THE GREEN HAS BEEN REMOVED TO MAKE THEM RAIN RACE READY. Rare item. Who sells new wets this cheap?

Never been raced on. IT KILLS ME TO SELL THESE. Always stored indoors in black bags. Very soft. They were incredibly grippy when I ran them in in October 2009. Reportedly "the best wet rain race tyres money can buy". And that's a quote from a guy/supplier of mine who is sponsored by Michelin but uses Pirelli wets. Wets $1200 the set. A Bargain

...............................

4x Pirelli slicks 245 620 17" used for one weekend only. Two heat cycles. $600 the set. These 4 slicks were purchased new for the W300 in November 2008 and were used in Qualifying and the first hour only as we changed all four tyres at the first pit stop. Still very usable. Always stored in black bags indoors. They never got mounted on the car in 2009 because I never made it to a race start and I use other rims/tyres for transport and practice

................................

4x Pirelli slicks 245 620 17" (Y Advan set) also bought new for the W300 so not old. However they have about half wear and have been used on the vehicle (mounted on Red Advan rims) to transport it on and off trailer and used to "run in" three stupid 13B engines (that blew before racing). Not stored in plastic bags but stored actually on the car in the garage so not as good as the other set. $250 the set ($75 each).

............................

Pick up from Windsor NSW (On main road between Airport and Bathurst) or if you want to get your courier I can co-operate. I am going to Bathurst and can take them up there if anyone wants next week but payment or at least a deposit first. Space is limited. Delivery arranged anywhere with TNT. Good rate.

what is the condition of the advan rims? do you have any good pics you could post?

Very sorry.

I only just found this post.

Stupid me cannot figure out how to subcscribe to this thread.

I can only find how to subscribe to the whole For Sale forum, and my inbox gets innundated.

Anyhow I will post some pics up.

From memory 3 are perfect and one has some minor scratches around edge from a ripple strip

They were powdercosted in November 2008 and hardly used.

My email is [email protected]

    • How would you even adjust the clutch if the pedal already has the correct free play? The operating cylinder has no adjustment in mounting position or rod length. On pull style clutches there is also no ability to adjust the bearing carrier. Push type I can see how adjusting the carrier height makes it all work.   If this is the twin plate clutch did you verify that your friction disks were oriented correctly? It's not mentioned in the directions at all you just have to notice that one side the friction disks have a part number on the hub fingers and a subtle coning to those fingers. Another thing that I noticed was if you put the friction disks in backwards the pressure plate fingers will not be even and flat when the clutch is installed.
    • yeah, mechanically, it is probably do-able, off the top of my head, there would be the transfer case, which I believe will bolt up to the rear of the RWD transmission, the shorter rear tail shaft. A front drive shaft, front diff, engine upper sump, front drive shafts, front hubs and front AWD struts (they are shaped around the front drive shafts), LCAs (at the very least from the front suspension) oil cooler.  You might want the rear diff from an AWD too, so you can be certain the front and rear diff rations are identical.  Who knows what brackets and mounts you might need.  So a whole doner car might be the best option if you need to maintain RHD. Then actually making it work, that would be a whole different story.

    • hi mate, HKS cooler piping still available by any chance?
