These wheels dont need any intro, if you have not heard of them or dont know about them then you cant have them cause you could not appreciate them :P

Alll jokes aside, one of the lightest wheels ever made, and are ideal for a nicely put together street or even better track car due to the reduce unsprung weight you will shave off. Without tyres they weigh around 6kg each.... forged, superstrong and tough and super rare. If anything the price of these is going up.

$1800

Cant agree with you mate, maybe for the stance crew they are not perfect however they are pretty close if not the same offset as how the Nissan engineers designed the car.... and I guess you could say they did their research when they made it.... for performance these will be excellent!

meh, 3mm spacer up front then....

Sorry but the solution is not quite that simple. A particular offset does not mean the wheel will have the same track across all rim widths.

To have an 8" +35 and a 9" +38 sit the same track wise, you would need to use 9.5mm spacers with the 8" rims.

Then you have the issue with a 255 providing more rotational grip than a 235 which I believe isn't good for the attesa system.

On top of this you have the rolling diameter variances between the two different sized tyres, which could, via the difference in wheel speed sensors readings, make the car think it is constantly losing grip either through the front or rear depending on what these differences are.

In saying that, these are very light wheels and I have a set myself (albeit a square set) and they are discontinued and a lot rarer than some of the other wheels out there these days.

They would be suited to an s chassis or rwd r chassis owner wanting to run big rubber without risk of guard fouling.

Good luck with the sale.

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      By myrbgivesmeheadaches · Posted

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?

      Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm having the same hot idle tick issue. Did anyone ever find out what it was?  I have checked/ replaced Injectors Coils checked Lifter clerance (is at zero) Checked Cam lobes Replaced exhaust gasket and studs Would appreciate any advice this is driving me nuts

      There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
