Ben's garage (used parts)

[BenZed]

I'll be listing parts I have lying around in my warehouse on this thread.

[BenZed]

Here I have the wheels from my project car. They are Magnums, made in Australia by Samson Engineering. They are very old, most likely dealer-fitted. I'm not sure of the size but it looks like 14x6.
Good condition overall, light gutter scrapes on the edges but nothing to worry about. They have good tyres too, 205/60 front and rear. One pair is Falken Ziex, about 60% tread, the others are Yokohamas, about 90% tread.

$200 for the set. Maybe a cheap way out if you need tyres for rego

Still available!

Here are a pair of front guards for a 240Z. I was going to use them on my car, so I had rust repair panels welded in and they have been hi-filled. At the last minute I decided to fit fibreglass guards so they have been sitting in the shed since then. They need a bit of a tidy-up before you fit them but they are pretty good overall.
When I did a trial fit they were a bit wrong at the bottom edge (probably due to the shape of the rust repair panel) so you may want to do a bit of work to make sure they'll fit perfectly before you paint them.
With this in mind they are going cheap at $200 the pair, which is less than I paid for the repairs and hi-fill.

Still available!

Steering coupler (replaces the rubber coupler in the steering column) for 240Z or 260Z.

Rota RB 16x8 +4 wheels, set of four as-new (no marks of any kind) with Silverstone S-575 semi-slick tyres in 210/625 size (similar to 215/50, not road-legal). The tyres are also near-new, only about 15-20 laps of Wakefield on them.
Basically you're getting new wheels with free tyres because I'm asking $1000 for the set.
These can be picked up from Ingleburn or freight by TNT as follows:
NSW, VIC, QLD $80
SA $100
TAS $110
WA, NT $140

Hey Ben, would these wheels clear standard spring/struts on a 240Z? Not running coilovers and just need to know if they will fit. Thanks

Yes they do. The only catch is you can't fit the front centre caps, though you could trim down the tabs and glue the caps on if you wanted.

Ben are these calipers cast iron or alloy, How do they compare weight wise with 300zx calipers? thanks

[Lurch]

Cast Steel.
They are a lot heavier than the Nissan 4-spot calipers...

[Gareth. J.]

  Thanks Lurch!

[sco_aus]

But they do bolt directly on, no fudgeing about and do brake better than standard.  Plus if you use vented rotors, its a good setup.

[Mr Camouflage]

Note: These ones don't fit vented rotors. These are the solid disc variety.

[BenZed]

Actually you can get vented rotors from Kameari to fit these. They make them to fit inside the Historic Racing rules for Japan. Bad news is they're $900 a pair in Japan hehe

Hilux calipers were about 5.1 kg unloaded. Datto sumitomos were about 4.4 loaded.
