where are people getting these weights from? I hear all the time of people with super magic 18s weighing 7kgs. but I have at home for instance a forged magnesium super GT wheel. it is paper thin and super light and still weighs about 8kg. they are so thin and light they only have a very short life span before they buckle etc. what type of 18s do you have that are 7kg, and what width are they?

stock R32 GTR wheels are appox 9kg from memory.

refer to the 3rd post in this link, they do feel quite light on their own without tyres when i compared them to my previous 17" enkei rims which were magnesium from memory & ultra light weight

cool, I think he's having a rough stab, cause as far as I know those wheels are cast. not sure which enkeis you had in magnesium I can't think off the top of my head what they make in magnesium. they do make very light forged alloy wheels though. I have some enkei NT-03s which are very light, but still around the 7.XX kg range in 17X9.

anyway, I think the above examples prove I know bugger all! they are all forged though and as a general rule cast alloy wheels are heavier than forged as they need more meat to still have enough strength.

nice to see my weds are about the lightest 17X9 on that list, but I'm not sure how accurate that list is. even with just a quick look I could spot a fair few mistakes.

and ronin, bite me!

i dont know of any magnesium enkei's either, enkei AFAIK specialise in cast alloy lightweight wheels, high pressure casting id imagine though. but ive seen a few tests where the top of the range lightweight enkei's have actually hindered performance due to their poor rigidity, just goes to show weight isnt everything, its about keeping weight down whilst maintaining strength and rigidity.

a little offtopic i know but does anyone know the weight of a r33 gtr rim on its own without a tyre? i have some cheap china rims and they are 17x8 with a brand new 235/45/17 tyre and its 22kg and a 17x9 r33 gtr rim and brand new tyre (different tyre brand than the other china rims) and its 22-23kg, seems odd to me? i was always under the impression gtr rims were lightweight? or does the extra 1" width make up the weight difference?

R33 GTR rims are said to be 9.5kg (just the rim of course). 17*9

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
