im interested to see how my r33 would look with racing hart wheels on it, and maybe lowered a little so you cant see much of a jap between the top of the tyre and the guard :blink: cheers !

^^ yeah haha, your racing hearts look real nice, the only thing that put me off was when i looked on wheelweights they seemed to be about 2kg heavier each corner then te37s, r34 gtr wheels, ce28s, re30's ect. so im looking for something within that category now.

Oh and just to add if you're looking for wheels, these sat absolutely perfect on a R33 today (deposit taken). I mean perfect, absolutely in line with the guard with only about 2-3mm of the bottom lip sticking out from top view.

So look for something with similar offsets or widths unless you want legality issues.

wheelweights.net - obviously i wouldnt quote these specs 100% but id assume they're pretty accurate

afaik being forged is to do with the strength/how its made, not the weight of the rim.

if i had a track bitch then yeah id probably only buy a forged rim, but my car is only street driven so i just want something lightweight to help acceleration & handling and also looks nice

pm me if sale falls through

What harts did you look at? I can only find one Racing Hart CPF and its 15x6.5, i looked at the other forged (CP series) ones, 18x8 is 8.2kg, same as the te37 18x8, 8.2kg?

Strange, TE37s are 18x8 8.2kg and the CE28s are 6.7kg 18x8...

Whatever the case, jap wheels > tempe wheels lol.

Will let you know if sale falls through.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
