Hi Guys,

Have a pair near new Nexen 235/45/18 tyres, with 18 x 9" (+35 to 40 offset) Volk F1 Challenge rims

tyres are worth almost $400 alone, and if you search SAU for what Challenge rims normally fetch, you'll see that between the rims and the tyres these are cheap as.

Wheels have pretty bad gutter rash, but are machinable.

At this price, I'm pretty much giving the rims away anyway, so think of it as near new tread with some wheels thrown in....

Pick up Bris CBD only. Freight would be an extra $100.

WHYYYYY!?!?!?!

Why arn't these in 17!?!?!

I would of snapped them sooooo quickly!

Awesome price!

Just a quick question?..

Any idea on the weight of the rim?

oooooh.... let me see how much cash i have left after paying everything off tomorrow when i get paid!

any guarantee that neither wheel is buckled?

no 'guarantees' no - not because I am dodgy, but because I think you'd find anyone (other than a business selling a brand new item) will be loathe to 'guarantee' an item.

I can so far as to say that the rear wheel (which is not one of these two) was badly buckled, but the front wheels (which are these ones) appear to be nothing more than very noticeable gutter rash. very ugly - but tyres excellent, and wheels look to be fine. I have the option to import another set of rears from japan then machine the set as new, but frankly, this is too much hard work for such a little amount of cash.

I reckon they're great value for what they are - perhaps if you can figure out a way to check if they are buckled? I know they roll in a straight line.....

    • I hope one day I can do it like you. Your engine looks great.
    • If there's nothing else I can do I'll probably do something like that Someone on the internet said that ca20s and ca18 engine blocks are the same and that you can use a ca20 engine block and put ca18det parts to make a ca20det Do you think this is possible or will it damage the engine?
    • Yeah, I did some research and found out that some things are different.
    • Makes sense, thanks! Consider me very impressed. And I very much appreciate the effort in documentating all of it. You'd be surprised, or maybe not, how many people this reaches who search for things online. Anyways, I shall continue to read all of it, understand maybe a quarter, and hope that some of it sticks if I ever end up in a situation where it's relevant
    • 'Did' work on them is more accurate ~ on the R31 Skyline forum, you can spot me as 'Solder'... I've written quite a bit about the 4R01 boxes there, and I ended up reverse-engineering the older TCU type operations, so we could fudge a custom TCU to pull off other tricks...and like all things, when you do it a lot, see the failure patterns, have to find parts etc etc, your head ends up filled with whys and wherefores... there was a reason Nissan went with these in more than 60models over 16+ years... all in all, the JR401E based design is an interesting study, as Nissan changed things over the years in a never ending battle against them lunching on themselves <grin>...by the time the RE4R01A rev.C came out (often referred to as RE4R01B), they'd more or less perfected the design...
