I thought they were a consumable ?

IE one or two race working life.

Get's expensive with magnesium alloys :blush:

Pockets ain't empty cus ?

LOL! No...Still got some left

I was hoping if they are made to order I could just get them forged in a standard wheel Alloy as apposed to Mag-Alloy.

I know they are centre lock, But I'm about to fit a set of V8 Supercar brakes and will get the hubs made to suit.

I just like the look of the old Group A cars...

Wheels were made by Cast Alloy in Adelaide(90% sure)......be aware that there are 2 different wheel setups....the 1990 wheels were setup for smaller hubs and lighter......1992 wheels have a larger hub setup and were heavier. You can tell the different wheels fairly easy as I am pretty sure the smaller centre lock's had the Nissan logo on them.

I do have access to some genuine set's of wheels, but all of these wheels would have to be crack tested and the price is a little heafty for what they are.....IMO the guy's dreaming if he thinks his going to get what his asking!

PM me for further detail if your interested!

talking about a race car or road car here??

If its a race car and pretty serious I have a set of Front and rear uprights that I have designed and machined for an R32 GTR to use center locks.

Revised geometry, uses 997 cup car bearings, and drive pin PCD (997 cup wheels bolt straight on) Custom upright, hub, Currently has radial mounts for Alcon's and everything needed machined from 4340 and heat treated. I could re machine the hubs and drive pins to suit a different wheel.

Only have 2 new nuts though. Plenty of 2nd hand ones but wouldnt be using them.

Made them up for a customer who now ownes them but is about to abandon the project and buy an R35.

They havent been circuit tested ( not worried about strength only the geometry and steering changes) but in simulations they are good.

If your not jerking around and seriously after something let me know.

Thanks for the replys guys, It looks to be a bit of a dead end as I won't even be able to get the car cert'ed with a centre lock wheel. The car is half circuit, half street car so it would still have to be legal for the road.

Just as a matter of interest Risking, What would the uprights etc go for? There is a race GTR over here that wants to run ex-V8 super car wheels, The uprights might be right up his alley.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
