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.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
