Hi All,

Well as the topic states, I have a set of 4 R33 GTR rims for sale in Melbourne. I'm pretty sure people know the size but just to recap, they're 17x9.

To be completely honest, the wheels do have some scratches. They're purely superficial and aren't deep at all. But for the perfectionist, I have been quoted that it would cost around $50 a wheel to have them smoothed.

Oh, they also come with a set of tyres, Falken GR 245/40/17. But in my opinion, bad wheel alignment, has resulted in two tyres being unevenly worn on one side. Aside from that, there is still plenty of tread on the others.

Anyway, I'll endevour to get pics posted asap, but need to borrow a digi camera first.

Now the price, well I guess open to offers right now. I have a price in mind but of course everything is always negotiatable. One thing, please PM me your offers only. Please nothing too silly as a punch to face can offend :rofl:

Thanks guys!

G'day BNR32....

Guess didn't think it was going to be that painful to send a PM. hehe :rofl: just kidding.

Well, you're offer is most definitely noted. I guess as a guide, I was looking for more. Given that this tread is only a few mins old, can I wait a little while?

Thanks!

G'day Hippy,

Thanks for the kind words.......hehe, told you the Teins were stiff!! :( Nah, I say take em to the track and you should have a ball!

N/A® - I guess I'm partly in two minds at the moment, do I sell these and get something different, or should I stick with them. Don't get me wrong, as you all know, its a great style of wheel, and has the element of being factory :). But I guess I won't really know what I will do, until a right offer comes along.......hope that kinda makes sense.

sidewaymambo - thanks bud, I'll reply to it now. Cheers!

    • Yeah the ACL and similar formable heat shielding materials are really nice. But most people do not have the patience or talent to do a good job like that. Almost anything is better than nothing though. Even if you didn't form it closely like that and just had a slab of it slipped in between the manifold and somewhere/thing you wanted to protect, you would gain benefit. There has to be a market opportunity for people like Artec to make formed heatshields to suit their cast manifolds. The fact that they are cast means that they are consistently the exact same dimensions and they could add bosses to the castings like you see on stockers to allow heat shields to be firmly attached yet floating away from the manifold itself.
    • I've seen some stuff like this as well, not sure if it's a good idea or anything but it does have more standoff from the piping than the conventional fiberglass wrap:  
    • Jap premium will be 100 RON. You should use 98.
    • The exhaust gases are at their highest temperature as they leave the exhaust port and enter the manifold. They cool as they flow through the manifold because they transfer heat to the manifold and the manifold loses heat to the surrounding environment. Thus, inevitably, the exhaust gases are cooler as they enter the turbo compared to when they entered the exhaust manifold. So, yes, the exhaust manifold can easily get as hot as the turbine housing. Having said that, you will generally see the highest temperatures where the exhaust gases have to slow down or they are concentrated into one area - which is usually the collector on the manifold and in the turbine housing, because the gases slam into the metal at those places, increasing the convective heat transfer coefficient and transferring even more heat to the metal than they might just flowing past elsewhere. Exhaust manifold heat shields are a good idea - certainly for the stock manifold they are there from the factory. People seldom have anything like that on a tubular manifold because they are hard to achieve. Some might wrap a tube manifold with fibreglass tape - but this has a reputation of leading to cracked welds. The best case is generally to put ceramic coating onto the manifold to prevent it getting as hot (internal coating) and radiating/convecting heat into the bay (external coating). All the real heat from a turbo comes from the exhaust side. The gases entering are at ~800-900°C and the steel/iron gets nearly that hot. The compressor side is only going to heat the charge air up to <<200°C (typically not much more than 100°C). So that's nothing, by comparison. The compressor is not a significant source of engine bay heat.
    • Late to the party, specifically joined this forum as I just bought one of these and this thread has been a gold mine of info. If the OP is still around, mind if I ask what gas you been putting in yours? Mine has a Japanese sticker in the cap saying premium but it seems to get way worse mileage on premium (95) than 91. I always thought it was meant to be the other way round🤷 I do think Nissans claimed "6l/100km" is a bit fantastical 😂
