no idea, whats a good set worth?

 

i keep meaning to call Alliance as i have a set of Rays in the shed that could do with some loving. im keen to repair them myself but i dont have the time :(

Been quoted from alliance between 150-225 per rim, seen decent sets sell for $1000-1500, if i can get 500 for a shit set be easier to buy a good set, but if i cant recoup a little coin i may repair them

Loaded up a stock transfer sheet from epe warehouse to workshop boss screwed it up and turfed it in the bin:-) my favourite price tag. Free! Forgot to bring nickel anti-seize and deep sockets home from work. Bummer. Left 1/2" and 3/8" air ratchet at work as well. Bummer. Will be tweaking and twiddling manually.

Yep thats the average price range with minor rash.
But good condition tends to sell for around 1500.

Ive bitten the bullet and going to repair, they suit the stagea, Biffa eng quoted $600 for all 4 to fix kerbing, buckles and repaint

Now just need to find a set of stockies with legal rubber to run around on for a few weeks, anyone got a set?

Will swap 19's for a set of 17n's with ok rubber :D

They are the rims i removed, i cant stand them, trying to sell em/swap em for a set of stockies while i get the 34gtr rims fixed

Why not just stick them back on for the time it takes to get the others fixed? Surely thats the simplest, easiest and cheapest solution?

They came on the stagea but don't actually fit it, appears the rear was rubbing on the shock doing some decent damage to the tyre

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
