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]

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?

      See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?

      The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.

      And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R

      So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
