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

    • i will be there 😁
    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
