aircobra Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 How much will it set me back? I think they are 14x4.5 Quote
dat2kman Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 You mean riginal steelies? The ones everyone chucked out all those years ago, when they fitted alloys! What would you be prepared to pay for a set of five? Quote
aircobra Posted September 27, 2015 Author Posted September 27, 2015 that's them. have no idea how much they go for. how much are you asking? Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted September 27, 2015 Administrators Posted September 27, 2015 I know how much they are worth... http://page6.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f159541868 Sold for 135,000 yen recently. These were date stamped 1972, I'm looking for a 1970 date stamped set. Hence wasn't interested in those > Quote
scott Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 i paid 200 delivered for a pair once then another time 300 for a set of 5 so it can vary alot. These go for big money in Japan these days more so then Australia as they shared these rims with C10 and C110 GTR's so demand is high. I got a few sets for my skyline gav240z 1 Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted September 27, 2015 Administrators Posted September 27, 2015 Agreed, not everything that sells for big money in Japan is reflected in other markets. I keep track of prices of various auctions and I've seen wheels in worse shape sell for quite a bit less. Those above were refurbished and looked good. Keep in mind they are only worth money to those doing restorations and for someone like me I'd pay a Premium for 1970 date stamped wheels, but 71/72/73 are worthless to me. Quote
scott Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 its funny as i would love to get 73's but i only own 1 out of the 10 haha. Wonder why it got passed in http://page8.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/h197368514#enlargeimg Quote
Z Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 (edited) I got four with my car and recently picked up a fifth for the actual spare, it was $30 on Ebay. Happy to have a set whatever year they are, will go out and have a look! Edited September 27, 2015 by Z Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted September 27, 2015 Administrators Posted September 27, 2015 FYI: These sold quite a bit cheaper. http://page6.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f159968984 Not sure they are quite the same though? 64,000 YEN. Quote
240Z_au Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 (edited) I tried to set-up an account on Yahoo Japan (and did), bit its not easy to transact. Anyone here does it as a service? Edited September 27, 2015 by 240Z_au Quote
Z Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 I've used Importmonster.com.au for quite a few years now, they charge commission of course. Iceberg 1 Quote
Moderators PB260Z Posted September 28, 2015 Moderators Posted September 28, 2015 Have a look at Jesse Streeter. I know a few who have used hiom to get parts and have heard no complaints http://jessestreeter.com/ Cheers PB Quote
dat2kman Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Time for me to take 'em back Jason Memry like an elephant! You chucked them at me some 8-10 years ago, worth nothing then! I think I sent them, via yourself, via Karen Hamer, to Melbourne, either those, r they were the earlier Datsun Sports 2000 steel rims, that have the three little lugs on them that secure the smaller hubcap fitted to the 2000 rims?

grimlynsan Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 +1 on jesse streeter recommendation. Used him a couple of times and is a legend. Quote
George Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 These were date stamped 1972, I'm looking for a 1970 date stamped set. Hence wasn't interested in those I'm looking for a 1970 stamped set of 5 as well. Not an easy thing to find regardless of year... Quote
aircobra Posted September 28, 2015 Author Posted September 28, 2015 this is my spare - does that read 71? Quote
