UPDATE: ok, so, basically i took these wheels to a powdercoater to get the centres powdercoated black. now somewhere between the powdercoaters and the blasters one of these centres has been misplaced, i have been sorting through this issue with the powdercoater for the last few weeks, and they have handled it very professionally. but unfortunately due to the price of these wheels and because they arent a common wheel, as well as being jap, it has become not economically viable to replace the centre. so basically now i have 3 full wheels (to have the centres powdercoated black) and one rim/barrel minus a centre disk.

now im going to look for another pair in japan, but i dont like my chances, so im going to just sell them as is, someone can buy them as is, ill sell them for the price i think is reasonable for a pair of wheels, although u will get the spares which u can use, for maybe incase one is damaged or something. so please dont say, i dont have a use for the other wheels so i dont want to have to pay for them, i just want to the 2, as this is the price for just the 2, u can take them the others if u want and think u could use them.

so for now im going to ask $700 for all 3 whole wheels, and the 4th rim/barrel.

EDIT: i understand this is a bit confusing, when i say rim, i mean the actual rim, as in the barrel part, the disk or centre is a separate part as the wheel is a 2pce, this centre disk is the missing part.

Item:

Volk/Rays GT-P Wheels

17x9 +16 all round

5x114.3

i can throw in some tyres, i have a few different ones that can go on.

Forged Disk/Face with spun rim

these wheels are extremely lightweight, they weigh 8.8kg which im sure for anyone who knows, is extremely lightweight for a 17x9 wheel. These are a perfect wheel for track work as well as just looking good as they are very strong and keep unsprung weight down improving performance a lot.

Age:

I beleive these were constructed around 2002, not sure when they were sold etc

Condition:

Excellent, cant remember any scratched on the rims, and certainly no bends or buckles etc

Price:

$700

These wheels are a touch under $3000 new without tyres, considering these are in new condition and come with good tyres, the price is more than reasonable.

To Fit:

Most Imports use this stud pattern, cars without this stud pattern include S13's and non-turbo Skylines (besides the type-s)

These WILL fit S14/S15/R32/R33/R34/RX7/Supras etc etc

the offset and size will fit on all these cars nicely as well, wont need much guard work, but will fill the guards nicely, none of this +40 bs.

Location:

SA, will post anywhere

Comments:

All 3 will come powdercoated, 4th will just come as the rim.

oh and they come with centre caps etc.

ok, got them back from the powdercoater, very happy with the result. ill try and get some pics of them out in the sun tomorrow, unfortunately all ive got at the moment is pics i took inside with flash, and we all know how shit things look with flash. probably should have given the dish a clean so it didnt have smudge marks all over it, but u get the idea.

oh, and thats just a mock up, they havnt been assembled yet, will probs do that tomorrow, will look better with the polished bolts in and the blue volk stickers i need to put back on them.

    • See my post here If you put the Haltech in, you won't have to worry about any of that. And, in case you're worrying about my lack of credentials in doing your exact swap, I put a Neo in an R32. There has never been a stock boost solenoid near my car and the Neo's ECU has never cared. Nor should it, because it is electronically impossible for it to care.
    • That's 100% wrong. Did you wire in the boost sensor? If you did not, then that is 101% your answer. Neo ECUs do suck a bit.
    • Hello, I'm trying to make this thread basically the thread with all the answers to common questions regarding specifically the RB20 DE NEO + T engine, that comes in the R34. Answers will and only should be provided by those who have done this conversion or actually have some relevant real life experience please. Please feel free to ask questions in the comments if you have any so other members can answer. I feel like this thread is really needed, especially with more Americans buying (unknowingly going to regret it too) rb20 neo r34s. My first question being - What do you guys use for tuning? I have purchased a haltech elite 2500 Plug and play kit for the rb25det NEO because the ecu plug is the same, but I am unsure if any of the pins would need to be repined to match. Second question that I see asked very often - After this conversion, did you install the boost solenoid/ actuator? I see many people doing a + T setup on their rb20 NEOs while running stock RB25DET NEO ECUs with no tune. I am wondering how they are going about doing that and consistently abusing the car because many of these people have had these untuned setups running for a very long time. That was my original plan, but my engine cuts out at 5 psi of boost using the stock ecu with no tune and no boost solenoid/actuator.
    • interesting. ive read and heard otherwise over the past year. ive been doing this +t conversion on a rb20 neo using all oem rb25det neo parts including the ECU, and im having engine cut out issues when I hit around 5 psi of boost. Everywhere/everyone ive asked has told me its because I never wired in a boost solenoid/actuator to the ecu, so the ecu isn't getting the right signal once it hits 5 psi of boost, causing the engine to get shut off.
