They look like the new nismo ones! if i was in the market these would be sold right now! good luck!

  • 2 weeks later...

NEW ...comes complete with free rim rash!!! ...god i'll be pissed as $##*% ...hope u get a refund Chris....or a fantastic explanation

Happily. Will take a few more pics (That aren't using my phone, like the other ones :)) in the daylight tomorrow.

Don't see the point though, even if it was jsut the 1 rim - still f*cked. Still not what was paid for.

**Update**

He has just offered to refund me 100$ to fix damage to wheels.

still waiting for pics.........

I think its high time you stepped back and let your mate Silbeer who actually sold the rims do the explaining.

Theres no excuse for that, 25-50% of the "new" price shoudl be refunded.

Or a full refund plus postage so 51OWW can return the rims and get his money back..

Very very low silbeer....

Hard to see scrapes while not photo'ing them directly (mainly due to flash of camera as it's overcast outside)

However, the point is made that it's CLEARLY not on just one wheel. :laugh:

Probably shoulda taken all the photo's without the flas (like the one below) though, this was the last one - which i went back to get as i figured someone might think, the bad damage to the front and back is only on 1 wheel (Which is still NOT acceptable anyway)

Damage on inside of wheels is on outer sides of rim. Looks like they have all been rubbing on coilovers or something.

How the hell it has been damaged halfway into the wheel i have *NO* idea

White marks on tires is from the tape that he used to package. Not damage to tires.

Pics are in no specific order. Just took random photo's. I don't see why i should need to prove that they are all damamged - the fact is, there is damage. Which is NOT what was said/advertised :huh:

I'll have to see what happens with this claim he is going to give me back some money - but by the previous post - maybe i should be asking for more money back on this dud sale? (if i get any of it back at all ? )

There are more photo's - but that web hositing service just told me my account was full. So i can't post any more :)

thats just not acceptable. NEW is brand spanking new....if its been on the car for ONE day I would advertise it AS NEW assuming there are no imperfections.

What you got was nothing short of 2nd hand USED wheels with gutter rash. I would return the wheels and ask for a refund as you can buy these brand new for a tad more than what you paid.

Or, as you already have them, I'd definately be asking for 25-50% off the price you paid.

Basically what they would go for as 2nd Hand with Gutter rash....

Ask around at a few places that sell heaps of 2nd hand rims what price they might put on something with those sort of imperfections.

If they're alloy, don't forget most minor imperfections are easily fixed by machining, but I definately wouldn't be paying for it out of my pocket!

Thats shocking ban his arse. Shame to I have these rims on my gt-r and they are very nice. When I put my car into the gutter they looked better than those and i promtly went out and baught new ones.

my advice is request a full refund and send the wheels back after you receive it. see what he says. and try and negotiate to a point you are both happy.

    • Update for the sake of closure   Ended up getting the intercooler piping all sorted, new plugs and yellow jacket coils, and she was idling mint until it warmed up while I was bleeding the cooling system. Found the misfire to be localised to cyl 3 by unplugging coilpacks, ran a compression test, that checked out, then decided to get a mate to check if that spark plug was firing out of the motor. Upon cranking it over, with the injectors disconnected, the car actually fired and ran on a couple cylinders and heaps of fuel came out the top of cyl 3 I'd say that injector's either spraying incorrectly or spraying far too much, which is fine as I'm planning on replacing them anyway I'm planning on making about 250kW on flex fuel, and have a set of 1000cc injectors from ozautosport, obviously overkill but I'm planning on building the motor and running more boost further down the line, do you reckon they'd be too big for a smooth idle on 98? Thanks for the replies gents, much appreciated
    • I'm confused. You said you want to "remove the clear coat from most panels" but it sounds like you are actually doing a full respray? Few random things to add -  If you chase the blistered paint with 120 grit, I can almost guarantee you'll chase it down to bare metal (that's fine). But if you paint the car from here, you'll have nice little indents where ever the blistered paint was. The new paint won't magically level out the low areas, you need to fill them. Which leads me to the main point I wanted to add, make sure the whole car is flat before you paint it. All those areas with blistered paint you sanded out, make sure to fill them and triple check they are flat with a block guide coat. I'd also check the whole car is flat with a large block and guide coat but yeah up to you if you want to go that far.   
    • 300hp (225kw) is barely outside the standard turbo's range with a bit of extra boost in it (200ish). If you are going to change the turbo you should aim for 250-300kw (330-400hp) to make the expense worthwhile
    • A couple of things, firstly omg that turbo is expensive! $3,000 USD for dinosaur technology is robbery. You could buy a G series turbo and have a good amount of change instead.  If you want a good budget option, have a look here - https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/ If you are keen to spend more, have look at the modern turbos, Garrett G series, Borgwarner EFR, etc. Have a look at the RB25 dyno results thread for inspiration.  If you upgrade your turbo to something that will support the 300hp you want and only "probably" have Haltech ECU, your car will only "probably" run. Actually, no it won't run. You are going to need the ECU and injectors at the time you do the turbo upgrade.  No thoughts on "this much boost" as you didn't say how much boost that actually is. Having said that, plenty of unopened RB25's making even more power then what you are chasing.
