I'm interested,

With the gutter marks, any close up pic that you can post?

Also has any of the wheels got slight buckle in it (e.g. due to hitting the kerb)?

There are no buckles warps or anything like that!

I have some close ups that I keep forgetting to put up - I will do it tomorrow! Cheers

Seems a bit bad from the closeups, especially third pic (call me perfectionist). I might consider if anyone can give me an idea of the cost to repair that rims and where to repair.

Fair enough - they are not brand new rims, which is why they are priced accordingly. Another member on here is selling these for $1400 without any tyres.

If you want brand new condition [which is fair enough] you may have to buy brand new.

Brand new 17inch Jap Wheels are not $1250 with good tyres though.

Brand new 17inch Aussie [China/Malaysia/Thailand/Korea derived etc] wheels are available for a similar price to mine but may not be the same quality :)

I have no idea about "fixing scratches costs" myself.

Hi just want to let u know.. once i repaired a wheel for 150bux..

depends on what job u want.. these looks like filling and respray..

u be looking at 150 each for good job.. but they never as good as factory.. i think..

OK I have revised the sale price for the LAST time

Currently negotiating with someone via pm.

Wheel & Tyre package is now just $1100 [postage extra $130ish] NO OFFERS!!!

I am not dropping it any lower :werd:

Hey Dale, sorry to go slightly off topics, but I was having a chat a few weeks ago to young Rob who bought your wife's R34 :rofl: He's loving it... already got a full kit on, intercooler, etc. :rofl:

    • Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!
    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
