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.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
