Where does one purchase his dubs?

sorry for wasted post but that phrase combined with your avatar made me crack up for some reason.

but i guess i could try and redeem this post by saying that if your looking, import monster sells discounted sets. Im not sure if they're secondhand as i havnt looked to deeply into it but..... http://www.importmonster.com.au/shop/

Import Monster FTW!

Helps you can go down there in person and see the wheels next to/on the car, or at least get a good idea of what a similar wheel will look like, offsets etc.

Added bonus of having a well priced place in Vic/Aus as opposed to guessing something over the net/yahoo and not being happy.

I'm down there a fair bit, as are other SAU-Vic members I see when I go for my little visits :ermm:

Hmmm. Might have to go down and take a squizz.

They just had 2 containers come in over the last week and a bit too... so farken HEAPS of rims to checkout :ermm:

They are SAU Traders as well, so checkout their section as i know Aaron chucked some of what he had into his section late last week.

import monster, tyre power hawthorn or OTR depending on your location out of the 3 (import monster would be the best bet as they are 2nd hand rims so a bit cheaper, quality is still up there though most look new)

last time i had to get some parts at OTR the focal point of the rims was a brand new set of 18x11 +18 te37 SL model looked awesome but $$$$$$

edit: yeah J-imports too, thanks Chad :ermm:

yeh j-imports, import monster is great i was there friday he has heaps of stuff in stock, or you can suss out local classifieds private sales good wheels there too.. jesse streeter is an option which means getting em from japan can be cheaper but takes longer.

failing on that bob jane.

Import Monster.

There is no substitute.

Import Monster & Aaron will go to the ends of the earth to find you any rim you want. Their service and price is second to none. I have used them many times and will be using them in the next few days :action-smiley-069:

Tyre Power hawthorn look after SAUvic Members

Yeah, I have seen a few "Tyre Power Hawthorn" Stickers on a few rear quarter windows.

OTR Motorsport is good and I heard Jesse Streeter decent as well.

    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSP male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSP reducing bush?
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
    • ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
