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...

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.

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?

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
