Hey guys - anyone out there have a set of the Wedsport SA70's in 18's? I'm thinking of getting some but I need to test fit a set before I order them to make sure they fit over my brakes.

I know for example in 18's that rims like LMGT4's and TE37's do fit but rims like CE28's, Volk Challenge and the stock R34 GT-R rims DON'T fit so I really don't want to order something from Japan only to have them not fit.

So if anyone has a set and cen let me test them out that would be super.

Cheers.

It's because Jack runs 365mm rotors. If I ran the propper AP rotors which are also 365mm then I wouldn't have this issues.

But it is because I set up to run the 375mm rotors from the V8SC that I have this problem. Same as Ben and Aaron have with the Harrops with the 382mm rotors. I think you'll even find Jacks CE's were originally Bens and he didn't discover they didn't fit until he'd already bought and paid for them.

So the problem is the internal diameter of the rims.

They're not the Weds mate but I'm happy for you to trial fit the RE30's....

Thanks mate but that doesn't help me with my problem - mainly being the weds are half the price of the RE30's. (which is a shame as I really like the RE30's)

Creful with the designations, some WEDS are cast, soem are forged even though they look the same, the difference is with prefixes etc. My ones are the old series forged.

Leewah has some 18: Weds, though not sure if cast or forged. (Difference betwen a little over 2k new and $4500 :blink:)

All SA70's are cast. However I understand there are 2 types of casting - gravity cast and upcast (pressure cast) and the SA70's are made the latter method.

Upcast is a LOT better than gravity cast even though it isn't as good as forged. But upcast has the strength - just not the lightness of forged rims. But the SA70's are still only about 9.5Kgs compared to the SA90's (which are forged) which are about 8.0KG.

Cool, thanks for the info :blink:

Frank has the same weds as Leewah, and Frank has AP 6 pots with 365mm rotor..

Snowy, its hard decision to make, i guess you got no choice but to find someone locally that has them to trial fit them, especially with the size of rotors you have....

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
