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....

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt

      So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
