Hi people

I got some 18'' mags with pretty close to new tyres on them. less than 200km on the tyres.

235/40/R18 Zetum tyres all around

Selling because I was told these mags came off an R33 - failed to mention I would need a 5mm spacer and to flare the front guards to make them fit.

so now I just want to recover mostly the cost of the tyres so I can get some new tread on my stock rims.

I don't know much about wheels, so I cannot offer any offset insight - there are some numbers inside the mags I could get a photo of if anyone thinks they might be the offset figures.

I'm pretty sure they'll need a balancing - can see where some of the little weights have come off already.

I'd like to get $800 for the mags/tyres - open to reasonable offers.

Found the thread I got these tyres from -

where they were listed as:

JDM Deep Dish 18 inch Mags (Rear: 18x9.5)

If my memory serves correctly the fronts aren't as wide as the rears - I wanna say 8.5, could have been 8 (tyre monkey told me amidst a bit of a ramble)

Bump

Any offers at all - I'd consider trading for stock rims with good rubber or something to that effect

I'd even consider trading for fmic setup for r33 + cash my way, or cat back exhaust + cash my way (assuming sub $500 value)

don't be shy, I'll consider any offer

the back wheels fit an R33 perfectly

the front wheels need a 5mm spacer (illegal) and maybe some guard work.

I drove it for about 2 hours in total with the front wheels on - there's this corner in front of my drive-way which causes something to scrub somewhere around the front passenger wheel - I'm not sure if it's the tyre scrubbing on the guard or if my front bar was hitting the road, my driver side guard has been flared a tiny bit from a small ding just below the headlight and the scrubbing never happened on that side, so it could be something as easy as that.

You're welcome to come have a look, I'd be happy to put them on the car and show you exactly what scrubbing I'm talking about.

Number from inside the front mags:

30

18x8

and I can't be stuff taking the back wheels off to check them

PRICE DROP $800 Now $700 ono

Edited by Raven33

I'm not sure how they would go on a 34 - you're welcome to come over and see if they fit.

Here is a link to a forum thread about wheel sizes & offsets for Skylines - if what I think are the offset details on the front mags is correct then there's a good chance they'll fit

As for painting them, there are some guides in the DIY section that cover painting mags - doesn't seem to be too hard a job, more a test of patience

Here is a link to a guide on these forums.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
