Hi guys.

I am looking for EOI's on these wheels. I'm going for a different look and was going to paint these wheels but it seems almost criminal to do that given how rare they are and no longer in production,so throwing it out there for interest.

Location: CBD Melbourne - can drop off for post at buyers expense

Specs: LE37T Top Secret Edition 19x9.5 +22 (F) & 19x10.5 +22 ®

Condition: excellent - only some hairline scratches in one of the hub centres. The 'Volk' stickers are a bit sketchy - could do with replacement ($40 from Nengun) - but importantly, the 'Top Secret' banner decals are still intact - can't buy these.

Comes with Volk Carbon caps - two of the caps have some cracks in the lettering of the 'VR' - but only visible up close.

Tyres are Pirelli P-Zero 245 fronts , and Hankook V1 275 rears. Cambered on the insides but plenty of meat in the middle.

Will include blue Rays locking lug nut set.

PM me if interested.

Cheers

Mat

Looking for offers around the 3,500 mark.

Cheers - they really are a nice wheel - but i recently got badly burnt on a set of Enkei RPF01's that were gold and I just seem to have a thing about gold wheels now! That being said, every time I drive past a shop window and see the reflection of the car, they really do suit it very well......

But I want to go something 2 or 3-piece that I can split and repaint the centres.

Open to swaps too for wheels of similar size/spec/value.

Lol - yeh they are precious - but they draw too much attention, and some nights I have to park on the street and I'm paranoid about some sneaky Gollum coming along and flogging them.

I'm sure the 350Z boys will snap them up.

But I'm in no hurry. Unless I get a swap I've got no idea what I'd put on there to replace them.

Although something like these would be just fine ;-)

Alright. Listen here. Just because I am of a darker skin tone, I am not a sneaky gollum...... :P LOL! But in all seriousness, very nice wheels.

Anyhoo.

To give people an idea, here is the only set I have been able to find that has sold in Australia. Sold in Jan this year, similar condition but obviously these ones were a square setup for AWD - no Top Secret decals and no tyres.

RDA - slotted and dimpled

That's what i was thinking they'd be, how do you like them? I'm looking at a full set of slotted and dimpled with EBC red stuff pads for $818 which is a better price than anyone else that i've found.

they're ok - haven't really stopped the car hard - so can't really tell you, but they squeek ever so slightly at crawling speeds, and very low dust.

I have heard the dust levels off the pads i'm buying is very minimal, at least once the bedding has been done.

How many km's has the car had the rotors/pads on it for? They may not have been bedded properly if that's the case.

Mate - I got no idea how many km's. It's nothing worth worrying about.

I had R34 calipers with Project Mu pads on my Stagea and those things were like nails down a black board. Tried everything from spray to disassembling the calipers and fitting anti shim squeal glue - horrendous noise. Taught me how to engine brake pretty good though! This is nothing compared.

Top be honest, so long as the car stops I'm happy - not too concerned about brake fade under racing conditions - I'd rather have a soft touch, low dust pad that has good peddle feel and doesn't coat my rims in harmful oxidising and annoying brake dust - and these seem to fit that bill so I don't ask any more questions hahah.

nah - they're going on a Supra.

I'm on the hunt for replacements now - but in the mean time, stock rims for some stealthy, gutter bashing goodness. Might even let the girlfriend have a drive while she can't do any damage lol.

What colour? I think they would suit a supra quite well.

Haha i will never trust my girl with my car.. she drives a 1.4L Getz.. and is not the most confident driver. I've even offered for her to drive mine before but she declined.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
