can u post a link to the thread u are referring to?

i was actually after the weight of the rim on its own without the tyre - im trying to ascertain if my rims are lighter than the stock rims, mine are between 7-8kg (rim only weight)

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

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
