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.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
