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.

    • 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).
