Yokohama Advan TC II 18x8.5J +25 front/18x9.5J +29 rear, PCD 114.3 x 5

These rims are brand new - fronts are still in plastic wrapping, along with 2 small boxes (not sure what's in them - nuts/valves?). Rears have wheel covers. One of the rim has a minute scratch which is really unnoticable. These rims are made by some special casting process which makes them super light. Holding them side by side I'd say these rims are slightly lighter then the LE37's (which are forged). These rims are no longer made by Advan.

Price: $3000 ono

He can think what he wants! Notice the 'ONO' on the end!

ROFL!....big diff between thinking and knowing Jethro.

I wont poo poo you!

anyway...good luck with the sale...lol

Few quick questions :)

First, do you know if the Advan's are at all paintable ? I love the rim, but the colour isnt really 'my thing' lol. Secondly, how much of a rush to sell the last set of rims?

:)

Hmm not sure about the paintable part - I'd assume they would be...aren't all rims paintable? You might have to ask elsewhere...

Not really in a rush...since the Ray's wheels are gone I've recouped enough space and $$$ to ward off the missus...haha

    • 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 😂
