Hi all,

As you all know Simmons have stopped manufacturing wheels and I have a set of 5 month old FR series 18 x 9s with tyres for sale. They are immaculate and dont have a scratch or a rash or anything on them.....they are beautiful wheels but the offset is not right for the GTR and and I wanna go for a full jap look anyhow..

These wheels look awesome on any car and you wont be disappointed with the quality of them...

Keen to swap with cash your way for a set of mint Work, WEDS, Rays rims in 18 or 19x10.5 with +15 offset.....if you have some let me know and we'll talk.

I am chasing $3000 but I am slightly neg on the price for a quick cash buyer.....tyres are also near new but are not the best quality/brands however.

Also keen to swap GTR performance parts and am located in Brisbane northern suburbs.

Thanks

Roy: yes they fit without spacers and yes kicking myself that they are not +22 or better

These are real simmons mate i know coz I had a set before and they had a hairline crack in them on my old car and Simmons replaced the entire set free of charge and I had them sittin round so popped them on the GTR

Tempe do the bullshit heavy as f**k copies and not the real deal...the owner/boss of Simmons is retiring and therefore has closed the company down.....more than likely knowing that if he sold the company the quality of the wheels and workmanship would decline and lead to the production of an inferior product - like that of Tempe tyres!

Regards!!

PRICE A LIL NEGOTIABLE AS IM AFTER A QUICK SALE!!!

Yes the wheels fit my GTR V-Spec without spacers and clear the front Brembos and rear RSpec brakes also....

tyres are 265/35/18 all round too! nuthing exciting just Maxxis tyres on rear and Roadstone on front - cheapies just to get it on the road :-)

dont mean to be rude but tempes are actually better, 3 piece forged wheel, not cast centre like simmons. simmons closed because he had problems in china with manufacturing.

but all in all, good luck withe the sale top wheel!

they would fit perfect on a 33 GTST and once u lower it will look sock.

The reason im sellin em is coz they sit too far inside the guards of my GTR but the GTST has narrower guards and they will look a treat on it!

Mate if your keen to buy im keen to sell contact me on 0405 382 754

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
