Hi,

You've probably guessed by now what this is about. I would like to know what are the specs of the Rims cause I only have stock Rims and I wanna change them to 18".

Any suggestions on where to buy (in SYDNEY)? :rofl:

Is Tempe Tyres in Tempe any good??

Thanks in advance :blink:

Stock Series 2 rims are 16x7 with offset +30 all round.

Personally, I wouldn't goto Tempe Tyres because

a ) I've heard their work is below par

b ) The wheels they sell are not as good as Japanese made wheels.

I'd invest in some Japanese made rims from known wheel manufacturers such as Rays, Work etc.

Finally, note that if you get Tempe Tyre 18" wheels, they are incredibly heavy and you will definitely feel this extra weight when driving your car (eg it'll be slower at slow speeds). 18" wheels will also cause your ride comfort to deteriorate slightly.

haha, Wink, there is a fair difference in price between tempe rims and jap rims. Ie, cheap ass, good for street rims from tempe in 18's will cost you $2k ish with rubber but some nice forged jap rims withOUT rubber will cost you $1200ish per corner... but, you do get what you pay for.

I had 18x9.5's and 18x8's on my Gtst when I had it (265/35/18 & 245/40/18).

Hope that helps.

      @Ozdavroz Not going to get a better deal than that. Cash up front and ongoing payments. 🤑

      I wouldn't even move it like gTSBoy is saying. I'd seriously do what Duncan is saying. Unplug the injectors, and unplug the fuel pump.  Pull the spark plugs out. Have a look in quickly with a bore scope if you want. At most, you can't spray a bit of oil into the bores so there is lubricant in there while you crank it. (Don't fill it, as it's only going to enter the exhaust, or spit at you out the spark plugs holes. Before cranking the engine on the starter, after a 5 year sit I'd probably prime the oil system manually. Easiest way to do so is to look at buying an oil filter relocation block, fit it to the engine. The pressure line going into the engine on this block you can then shove into some sort of oil pump, or put it into a bottle, with that hose going to the bottom. Fill bottle up with oil. Now seal the bottle and add a compressed air line to the top of the bottle. Feed compressed air in, about 20psi will be PLENTY. This will pump oil through the motor. Be aware, it also means it will drain back to the sump, so make sure you don't end up over filling the motor Now bolt the old oil setup back on (or fully install the remote filter system).   This way you've at least pushed fresh oil everywhere, then you're letting the motor crank to then do its own oiling. Then I'd tap the key to make sure it can start to crank, if the motor free bumps, then I'd just hit the key and let it crank. After letting it crank and seeing you can get real engine oil pressure, put new spark plugs in, reconnect the fuel system electrics, and send it.   Additionally, you can look to remove the fuel feed line to the rail, and divert it to a tank so you can get the bottom of the tank shit out, and just incase there's some crud sitting anywhere that gets passed the fuel filter (or is already ahead of it).   If fuel injection at the injectors ends up appearing to be a problem, you can dump the injectors into an ultrasonic cleaner for a quick flush clean out. Note this isn't as good as new injectors, or getting them pro cleaned and flowed

      All I can say is, that's still bloody awesome! No plans on caging it I'm guessing?

      It seems you'd like your Skyline to go to a great home, that can keep it as a beautiful museum piece.  I feel I can provide the perfect place for it, however, I'm not sure I can justify so much money for a Skyline that has only been crashed 3 times. Due to this and market prices, would you be against me buying it for $100.00, with $60 to be paid upfront, and the remaining $40 to be paid annually in equal payments?
