I am converting my race car from 17" rims to 18" rims to accomodate a new monster brake kit and to help (a little) with gearing on a V8 conversion.

These 114.3 x 5 (RX-7, GTR, 200SX, Soarer, Supra, Falcon, FPV etc) rims fit over 4 piston brakes but will not fit over my new Monster 6 Piston AP brakes, so I am selling them all

I hope it is not confusing but thread rules state one thread in FS only

Here goes:

RIMS:

Rays Engineering Payton Place Silver Arrow 3 Piece alloys.

VERY strong. Ideal for race use. Jump ripple strips all day with confidence.

I have 4x 17"x 8" and 4x 17" 9 "so you can have two sets of staggered 8/9" or one set of 8" and one set of 9" if you buy both sets

8" $400 the set ($100 each)

9" $750 the set ($175 each)

I also have a set of 4x 17" x 9" +22 offset Yokohama Advan Rims. They are composite lightweight 9" rims powder coated red. $750 the set ($175 each)

TYRES:

Pirelli 225 62 17 wets bought new from Trofeo in 2008. The wets have done only 8 laps in the wet just to remove the green. Mike Navybox at Wakefield was witness to their running in and supervised me doing so. Call him for verification. They are perfect wets. BETTER THAN NEW BECAUSE THE GREEN HAS BEEN REMOVED TO MAKE THEM RAIN RACE READY. Rare item. Who sells new wets this cheap?

Never been raced on. IT KILLS ME TO SELL THESE. Always stored indoors in black bags. Very soft. They were incredibly grippy when I ran them in in October 2009. Reportedly "the best wet rain race tyres money can buy". And that's a quote from a guy/supplier of mine who is sponsored by Michelin but uses Pirelli wets. Wets $1200 the set. A Bargain

...............................

4x Pirelli slicks 245 620 17" used for one weekend only. Two heat cycles. $600 the set. These 4 slicks were purchased new for the W300 in November 2008 and were used in Qualifying and the first hour only as we changed all four tyres at the first pit stop. Still very usable. Always stored in black bags indoors. They never got mounted on the car in 2009 because I never made it to a race start and I use other rims/tyres for transport and practice

................................

4x Pirelli slicks 245 620 17" (Y Advan set) also bought new for the W300 so not old. However they have about half wear and have been used on the vehicle (mounted on Red Advan rims) to transport it on and off trailer and used to "run in" three stupid 13B engines (that blew before racing). Not stored in plastic bags but stored actually on the car in the garage so not as good as the other set. $250 the set ($75 each).

............................

Pick up from Windsor NSW (On main road between Airport and Bathurst) or if you want to get your courier I can co-operate. I am going to Bathurst and can take them up there if anyone wants next week but payment or at least a deposit first. Space is limited. Delivery arranged anywhere with TNT. Good rate.

what is the condition of the advan rims? do you have any good pics you could post?

Very sorry.

I only just found this post.

Stupid me cannot figure out how to subcscribe to this thread.

I can only find how to subscribe to the whole For Sale forum, and my inbox gets innundated.

Anyhow I will post some pics up.

From memory 3 are perfect and one has some minor scratches around edge from a ripple strip

They were powdercosted in November 2008 and hardly used.

    • That's a given!  Bit hard to powdercoat it properly without removing them! 😁
    • No detail on compressor or turbine sizes, which doesn't help with housing size selection with that kit. However, from SR20DET mucking about and money torching perspective, a GTX2860R Gen 2 w/ 0.64 (46mm inducer) will do ~260kW on E85 about 1.5bar of boost. All in before 3000pm, which cause a gearbox to shatter. Now imagine the same turbo, on a modern motor with an extra 0.5L of displacement, and heaps of cam timing adjustability (not an on/off affair like the Nissan shit boxes). If this was my car (which I would never own or consider buying, ever!), I would go for a nice twin scroll setup, and a G30-660. Gates plumbed back, no silly shit. Lean on the cam timing, big displacement to create a flat-ish torque curve.  
    • Do you plan on using 98 or e85?
    • This should be pretty easy. 200rwkW is just about the max power out of an RB25 stock turbo. So, 12ish psi on a 2.5L. That boost limited mainly by the prospect of seeing the turbine in the cat after the smoke show. A steel wheeled equivalent would likely happily do ~220rwkW at something like 17 psi, where it would probably be bumping into the usual limits of such a sized turbo. These things have like a .48 rear. You will not need the 0.86 rear. The 0.64 will be fine. In fact, if you were looking at various mid-200rwkW options for RBs, most of them would be in a 0.64 rear. So, I think you will definitely want to be no bigger than that for a same sized but probably even more efficient (at making power) modern engine.
