Not wheels but have used their workshop for a turbo install and they were very cheap

Something like $400 including some stud extraction from the stud doc

Transaction errors perhaps but I've found contractual calculations are usually accurate to the decimal point as they had to go thru approvals/legal/payroll etc

Yah for big companies

Small companies HR is just a middle aged lady with minimal qualifications with no seperate legal or payroll department.

Got two mates looking for 18 inch rpf1's. 1 in about 18x9 + 22 and the other set whatever sits flush on a 08 wrx

mostly trawling yahoo and jap stores. the rest i know through people.

hmmm RPF1's arent that expensive new. that would be my suggestion, as I have seen what happens to them with regular track use. and rather than getting bad gutter rash, they tend to 'snap'. someone recently go these repaired:

first ones i don't mind, but from the pics pretty much won't fit over the brakes.

I just tried on some of these at otr with the 9.5s on the front +30 clears brakes by a bees dick, only problem is cant get silver they can only get flat black. Still looks good though just need to decide if I want to go black again

i saw a pic of the concave's on a falcon and wasnt really sold on the look. and they dont look like the most friendly wheel in the world for brake clearance. anyway, 

work wheels. T7R 19x9.5 +25. $2,020 plus postage http://www.jdmconcept.com.au/part/work/emotion-t7r-set

not sure what that price compares to the concaves.

http://www.jdmconcept.com.au/part/work/mco-racing-type-cs-set - 18x9.5 +22 for 1900. you can then run my 275 18's for cheap ;)

problem is, a lot of the falcons with rims don't get the right sizes so looses it's potential most BBS LM style look aids on them but mine pulled it off i think

Concaves are $1800 for comparison and OTR said they'd swap my tyres over for free for me from my BBS's.. not really sold on the work T7R would rather concaves over them I think.

18s look too small on falcons, look at those 19s ^ just about right. 

Need to paint the D1Rs black so no one can see them properly.
Theres that falcon on bags that was wrapped like an aqua green colour... White D1Rs spoiled it.
I also thought 18's were too small for gloria, but reducing tyre width made heaps of difference. Also good luck try to sell wheels without tyres. People too tight assed about it. Its like rego and selling cars.

Which is ridiculous because most tyres that come with rims are dodgy shit or worn out anyway lol

People never seem to like putting in effort for the unseen hero components of a car

    • 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).
