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]

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
