Auctions: Grachan Falken GX71
Last weekend Tommy J. sent me a link to a auction on Yahoo Auctions where this great Yonmeri zokusha was for sale:
Nissan Skyline C110 #2
Asking price was a mere 1,200,000 yen (13000 dollar) and I wanted to post it here today since Speedhunters is doing a Skyline special this week.
Unfortunately the auction ended yesterday and I was able to post it up on bosozoku style. Meaning the images had gone as well and I was unable to include them here.
To make it up to you I looked up another zokusha on Auctions Yahoo:
Grachan Falken GX71
There were no other Skyline zokushas to be found on Auctions Yahoo, so you have to do it with this Toyota Mark II GX71. But this GX71 is really something! It has got it all!
Grachan Falken GX71
Huge lip, oil cooler, hood fins, wide front fenders, boxy rear fenders, roof spoiler, boot spoiler…
Grachan Falken GX71
… quad exhaust pipes, taillight swap and whatever we missed in this sum up! 😀
Auction of this grachan can be found here: Grachan Falken Mark II GX71
Terribly sorry we were unable to post Tommy J.’s Yonmeri Skyline today. It was a far better looking zokusha than the grachan above…

How about some rare rims this time? I found this rare set of deep dish SSR Star Formula rims on Auctions Yahoo:
Deep dish SSR Star Formula rims
Lucky enough the seller provided us with all specs and details! They are 14 inch in diameter, 10J and 8.5J wide with a set of 185/60 and 205/60 Bridgestones nicely stretched around it!

The 8.5J rims have an offset ET -9 and the 10J rims have an offset ET-36!

The owner bought them secondhand for his S30Z but he states his S30Z never actually drove a mile with them. He did polish them before mounting them on the S30Z, so basically you have a “good as new” set of rims!
If you are all interested now, you can buy the set for a mere 280000 yen ($3100) here: SSR Star Formula at Auctions Yahoo
by banpei with 1 commentBosozoku lifestyle: buy fourteen Champ Road magazines!
Found an auction with fourteen (!) back issues of Champ Road for only 300 yen on Auctions Yahoo:
Fourteen issues of Champ Road magazine
For me that’s definitely more than half a year worth of reading! 😉

How deep is your dish?
I saw these amazing 14 inch 12J steel rims on Auctions Yahoo:
Deep dish 14 inch 12J steel rims
Just look at how deep that is! What would the offset of these rims? ET 100?

As you can see they used something like 5J wide steelies as a basis and widened it by adding another steel band in between.

Even if it looks wicked it is not exactly the safest way to have wide steel rims: the center of the original wheel may not be strong enough to carry the load of the extreme wide lip. Making the lip wider makes it a big lever of 7 or 8 inch. Imagine the stress this will create on your wheelnuts! 😀

About a month ago I posted a set of Work Equip 01s:
Deep dish Work Equip 01 15 inch 11J
They had a price tag of 90000 yen ($1000 US), well they are up for sale again with a price drop of 5000 yen ($920 US)!
Go hurry and get them here or wait till the next time they are put up for sale again with, hopefully, another price drop! 😉
