FOR SALE

Bronze Rays TE37's with MIchelin Pilot Sport Cups - great track wheel/tyre setup

Wheels

Size: 18x10 +18

Colour: Bronze

Condition: reasonable, a couple of the rims have slight rashing

Original: Yes

Year of manufacture: 2005

Tyres

Size: 265/35 R18

Condition: One Marulan track day (maybe about 4-5 sessions), including return trip there

Photos attached showing wheels, Rays sticker, tread depth and all that stuff....also pics of same size wheels fitted to an R34 GTR.

Wheels are located in the inner west of Sydney, and would prefer a local pick-up.

Looking for $3,800, which I think is fair given the cost of the tyres and the limited track time they've seen.

PM or SMS me on 0407778421

Cheers.

I believe Rays has increased their rims price by over 50%. Not sure if the price escalation has been passed through to suppliers but the same set of rims now would have cost more than 3.5k imported. I remembered paying around 51k Yen each for the rim in 2011 and they're now 82k Yen each on Ray's website. The dollar has gone up significantly by 20-25% which is good for offseting the price escalation, but still be not enough to cover 50%!

18x9.5 +22's are $3.3k delivered. Michelin pilot sport cups are about $2.5-3.0k. Combined is $5.8-6.3k.

So it's about 40% off at $3.5k. Plus the MyChron timer. Value!

Interesting!

I noticed yesterday Nick that there's a very nice Pearl Black R34 GTR being complied at JLM (JapLink Motors).

If you asked Todd to leave a Memo for the owner that your wheel/tyre combo is on offer, I think this deal would be tempting when you consider Bronze TE37s on a Pearl Black body!!!

Hi Terry

That lucky owner of the black R34 happens to be me! :rolleyes::yes::no: I'm crossing my fingers that compliance is all sorted before the June long weekend so i can take her on a nice romatic journey.

Nick, I got your message from JLM, unfortunately I can't commit to the wheels right at this moment as my first priority is a proper alarm system. If the wheels are still here in a month or two then I'll be all over it!

Cheers

Dave

No worries Dave. Let me know when you're in a position to think about it.

I got an autowatch alarm from Security in Motion. Leon was great and the system works well. Built in turbo timer too.

Ok Dave & Nick: I remember when I was on really tight budgets.

Congratulations Dave on a very lovely GTR!

I'm happy too that at least there's friendly dialogue :)

Thanks Terry, I have Iron Chef to thank for finding me a fantastic example :-)

Great info Nick, I've heard some great things about Sec In Motion, so will be calling Leon asap!

This is what SAU should be about, great dialogue, networking and community :no:

Just a reminder, these are original TE's and the tyres are Michelin Pilot Sport Cups!

Will swap for R34 GTR Haltech Platinum Pro, Flex Fuel Sensor and Injectors., or $3,300

    • How would you even adjust the clutch if the pedal already has the correct free play? The operating cylinder has no adjustment in mounting position or rod length. On pull style clutches there is also no ability to adjust the bearing carrier. Push type I can see how adjusting the carrier height makes it all work.   If this is the twin plate clutch did you verify that your friction disks were oriented correctly? It's not mentioned in the directions at all you just have to notice that one side the friction disks have a part number on the hub fingers and a subtle coning to those fingers. Another thing that I noticed was if you put the friction disks in backwards the pressure plate fingers will not be even and flat when the clutch is installed.
    • yeah, mechanically, it is probably do-able, off the top of my head, there would be the transfer case, which I believe will bolt up to the rear of the RWD transmission, the shorter rear tail shaft. A front drive shaft, front diff, engine upper sump, front drive shafts, front hubs and front AWD struts (they are shaped around the front drive shafts), LCAs (at the very least from the front suspension) oil cooler.  You might want the rear diff from an AWD too, so you can be certain the front and rear diff rations are identical.  Who knows what brackets and mounts you might need.  So a whole doner car might be the best option if you need to maintain RHD. Then actually making it work, that would be a whole different story.
    • Take the fall as a warning sign for future endeavours  Stay safe mate
    • hi mate, HKS cooler piping still available by any chance?
