Item: 4 x TE37 18x9.5 +12 wheels with Falken FK452 225/40/18 tyres. PCD is 5x114.3.

Condition: Very good, no kerbing/guttering, a few knicks from use and tyre fitting/wheel balancing. Have been powdercoated black over the bronze anodizing by previous owner. Tyres have done 2000km of normal driving. (No skidding and no track time)

Location: Sunshine Coast, QLD.

Price: $2750 pickup or buyer pays transport costs.

Due to countless previous timewasters please read the following before contacting me.

While I would like to free up some extra cash, I've just applied the genuine decals and quite happy with how they look on my car now so if I can't get what I consider to be a fair price for the wheels I'll keep them.

Please don't contact me saying you bought your last set for $2200 so you'll give me that much, it really doesn't interest me.

If you want another colour, buy another colour, there are other sets for sale.

If there's a set that some guy on another forum has for $500 cheaper, buy his then, I don't really need to hear about it.

I'll entertain offers close to asking price for pickup only.

This is what the wheels owe me for those that are interested.

$2500 for bare rims w/o valves/decals or tyres.

$1000 for tyres fitted and balanced. (Review here http://www.1010tires...s/Falken/FK-452)

$100 for Project Kics black valves.

$100 for Genuine Volk decals.

Contact via PM or reply in thread. I'll give phone number to serious buyers as I'm a bit sick of $2000 cash sms's.

Thanks

Jamie

wait it makes no sense, y would you buy wheels just to sell them after spending money on them?

if you dont entertain offers then just keep them, no one cares what you paid for them if you want your wheels sold then your gonna have to drop the attitude and entertain offers

if your sick of 2000 dollar cash sms's stop advertising them, it comes with the territory of selling used items

Hi Jim,

I would like to sell them for the advertised price, as I wrote in the ad I'm not giving them away. A seller has the right to ask whatever price they like. I know what they are worth. I am not desperate to sell.

As clearly explained if they sell then good, if not I'd rather keep them then drop the price to what some people have been offering.

The attitude is there to hopefully separate the serious buyers from the bargain hunting lowballers.

take it from me there is no way to separate them and you just have to put up with them with a fake smile, but from experience if a bad attitude comes into it you will miss out on genuine buyers

the price is just fine for the wheels, but no one buys from a grump :nyaanyaa:

I actually quite enjoyed your ad Jamie and I feel your pain.

my two cents - I dont see the harm in trying to weed out the lowballers before they start throwing offers way under what you are asking. People who appreciate the value in what Jamie is asking I dont think will be put out by his indifference to what someone paid last year, for a totally different set, with half knacker rubber (for example).

I actually bought a set of brakes off this forum from a member that advertised in a similar manner - I was not put out at all by his frankness, paid his fair asking price and now we are both happy.

Good luck with the sale Jamie :) - its a fair price, especially given the rubber.

    • 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).
