Hi John

i have TE37 replicas i bought from tyre place in brisbane.

They are magnesium and therefore extremely lightweight, but they are also very strong.

I dont know the quality of the ones on ebay, but the replica TE37s i have are great quality.

Magnesium hey?

excuse my cynicism, but you know that the magnesium version of TE37s are around twice the price of the standard forged aluminium TE37s?

don't be offended, but i don't think yours will be magnesium - they'll be conventional gravity cast alloy.

don't believe everything you're told, or even what it says in the casting! Taiwanese and China manufactuers will cast anything into the wheels...

fair call

the only thing that im SURE of is that they are very very light and have took an absolute beating by pot holes

So what exactly is considered light these days? I can pick up a TE37 in 18" which weighs just under 8kg with two fingers...that to me is light.

*runs outside to take stickers off*

taken them off yet man? we all know you won't take em off...Vork Ravs decals have grown on you :blink:

lol, Vork Ravs. now available in Mangesium. check your wheels, they probably are Mangesium, or Magnesiun etc...

hahaha...awesome call!

yeah my mate has drifteks and say they were light as. almost like when they picked up the box, it felt as if nothing was in them. i didnt really beleive they would be as light as the actual LMGT4's. i guess they use the new process with casting metal as you're talking about?

stock R32 GTR wheels weigh 7.3kg each. bang for buck? oh hells yeah.

this revolutionary process wouldn't involve casting so that the cross section resembles an aero chocolate bar would it?

    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi
