Watanabes are sold

Here are a couple of sets that aren't on the website: Feroche 15x7 -2 set of four, very rare design, as-new condition with new 205/60 tyres $1000 Watanabe RS-8 16x7 +28, 16x8 +25 set (would need 20mm spacers to suit Zed, fine for S13 or R31 etc) $440 Also still have Rota Grids available in metallic black or bronze for $279 each, 16x8 +10

All 17x9.5 are sold, still have one set of four 17x9 rims. I'm re-ordering now, so if you will be ready to buy around January PM me to get your name on the list.

Admittedly I'm exceptionally biased, but I think the OS Giken TS2BD is the best twin plate for a Zed hehe

Alfa Motorsports do one

Still have one pair left, 8 of the 17x9

Going from 14x5 stock to 17x9.0 is a big jump. The thing to bear in mind is overall diameter and tyre width. It may be necessary to go to a very low-profile and narrow tyre like 215/40 to make the 9.0s fit. Even then guard modifications will probably be necessary.

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys, the wheels have flown out the door this week. Please post up pics when you have the wheels fitted. Unfortunately I am now out of stock of 17x8.5 and by the end of today there will be no 17x9.5 left. Still have two sets of 17x9 at this stage. The 16x8s I had are gone, but I have another 12 wheels arriving within a month. Plenty of 15x7s, 15x8s and 16x7s still in stock. I will be ordering more wheels shortly, but after my experience this time I don't expect them to arrive before the end of the year. I will keep the price as low as I can but it's tough with the Aussie peso :-\ Once again thanks to everyone who waited patiently this time around. Cheers!

Freight is $20 per rim anywhere in Australia.

Here are the 17s

Our shipment of RB wheels has arrived so here are pics to clear up the confusion. Please note that some of our 16x8s did not arrive yet and are coming next month so we are short on this size. For more info email ben@otomoto.com.au

Hello everyone, our long-awaited shipment has finally arrived in our warehouse. Shipping has been a complete bastard but thankfully we paid before the Australian dollar tanked so we can still offer the prices I listed before: Here are the sizes and prices: 15x7 +4 offset $179 each 15x8 +4 offset $199 each 16x7 +4 offset $219 each 16x8 +4 offset $239 each 17x8.5 +4 offset $259 each 17x9.0 -13 offset $289 each 17x9.5 -19 offset $299 each Please email me at ben@otomoto.com.au or call 02 8798 1469 Will post a new thread with photos by the end of this week.

Container lands on the 9th, so I'll have them at my warehouse a few days after that. If anyone wants to take a look just PM me. There are a few wheels in there that I didn't have photos of too.

That would suit me too, I don't have time to check the thread every day to respond to posts

I'm disappointed too but these things happen when you're shipping from overseas. The shipment was held up because some of the 16x8 rims did not pass quality control, so the batch had to be re-made. Try to remember that with me you didn't have to pay up-front.

They are being shipped this week, so about another 2-3 weeks.

The factory has delayed things a bit (as usual) but they aren't far away. I will post photos here as soon as they arrive.

I have an F54 block bored to 90mm, but I wouldn't recommend boring this far in a turbo application. Several blocks were tested before we found one that had consistent cylinder wall depth.

Sold for $475

I've gone back to 4.375 gears (R31 I think). With the power output of my car I was running out of legs on the straight at Oran Park, but for a less extreme engine or a rally application the 4.875 gears would be perfect.

I have a set of Kameari 4.875:1 diff gears to suit R200 long-nose differentials from 260Z to R31. Pinion has 8 teeth, crownwheel 39 teeth. Retail price in Japan is ¥102,900. Used them for one month, perfect condition. Selling for $500, PM me if you're interested. Please don't bother offering me less. Cheers

I've been taking my Zeds to Stewart for about fifteen years now. I've never been disappointed by the work done there. As others have said, he's not cheap, but if you're paying less you're also getting less.

I can do it for $1350 without the air freight. The full carbon bonnet has only one layer of FRP under the carbon shell for rigidity which stops dimples developing in the carbon shell. The one I imported from America is made the same way. To make it only with carbon would require double the amount of carbon which would cost much more and wouldn't be any lighter. If you can find a bonnet of this quality that's cheaper I'd be very interested to see it.

Please note I have added more 240Z parts to the original post including doors and hatch

That may be the case, but the price I quoted was for plain colours.
