Hey everyone,

Putting my wheels up for sale here for a local to scoop them up before they head off to the main section.

Brand: Rays / Volk Racing

Model: F-Zero Challenge

Size: 18x9

Offset: +22

Tyres: 2x 85-90%, 2x 75-85% with slightly worn inner edge 255/35R18

Condition: There is a bit of gutter rash and some scratches, the usual wear for older wheels. Also tiny bit of chipped paint in non visible areas.

Price: $2000 or decent offer

I have never come across another set in this colour and I have been advised they were an extremely limited run so you can be almost certain no one else has them. Very regretful sale and they would be a nice addition before marques in the park..... *hint*

Any questions feel free to ask.

offset +22? im surprised they fit on your car! spacers? GTS-t's usually require a minimal offset of about +32, dont they? please correct me if im wrong :no:

goodluck with the sale. wish i had 2g's....

I ran 18 x 8 +30 all round and had no problems. But my car was also not very low. GL with the sale hot colour for them rims too.

Youre thinking in reverse Luke... The lower number if it is in positive the wider the offset is (depending on the width of the wheel). For example +22 will sit further away from the strut than a +32 in the same size and width.

You should buy these wheels Luke they would look GREAT on your car especially seeing as they have a red inner lip!

(Its just a pity that they have horrible tyres on them).

DO IT! :)

Bullet32 - haha horrible tyres.. I've just gotten back from tyre shopping and you would be surprised how many reputable shops tried to sell these to me. A certain shop was pushing Nankang's onto me like crazy because they didn't have any Adrenalins in stock. The Nankangs are fairly decent for their price and my driving but then again I dont have Federals to compare them to :thumbsup: . I just want to see a local buy them as I really like them and would be good to see them round on someones car every now and then.

Cheers guys!

Hey if you like Nankangs then thats cool...

Im just a bit bias towards a certain brand (as you may have noticed) :thumbsup:

If you like the Bridgestone adrenalins then you might like the 595 EVO (see picture) its still very new and we dont have a lot of sizes but its definately a sticky street tyre...

Lol, I never said I liked them.. they're just a large step above some of the crap I've driven on in the past...

Where abouts do you work, I may have to pay you a visit and check them out as I'm not really impressed with some of the crap thats been fed to me today. Best value for money I've come across so far are Advan AS01 for $1472 for a set.

    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
