Don't you hate that? The wheels makers tell you how wide they are, their diameter, the offset, the stud pattern, they even have pretty graphics so you can swap wheels on a picture of your car so you can see what they look like. But try and find out how much they weigh, don't hold your breath.

Can you imagine a lightweight flywheel manufacturer not telling you how much his "lightweight" flywheel weighs? But wheel manufacturers do it all the time and there are 4 of those (big flywheels) on your car.

I have a rule now, every time I go into a tyre shop I ask how much the "lightweight" wheels weigh. I never get an answer, maybe if we all do it they will get the hint and publish the weights like they do all the other specifications. :slap:

BTW, just because a wheel is forged doesn't necessarily mean it is lighter. The reality is a forged wheel of exactly the same dimensions will be heavier than a cast wheel with the same dimensions. The forged wheel will, of course, be stronger, but not necessarily lighter. Once again, published weights would help.

Can anyone tell me the weight of Buddy Club P1 wheels in 17x8 inch and if there is any difference up to the 18x8size. Does the P1 series 2 weigh the same.

Thanks

do p1's come in 18s? i know the p1 racing II's do, but i dont think P1s do. i just bought some p1 17s, should be able to tell you exactly the weight, soon.

I don't have the figures with me at the moment, but Buddy Club P1 QF are lighter then TE37 but only slightly and this is the same for 18's as well.

Sorry don't know about the P1 Racing II but I think they are not forged.

Agree with SK, forged doesn't mean they are the lightest...SSR Type C and GT2 are both lighter then P1 QF and TE37. They are SSF- semi solid forging.

Check my sig and click on the VOTE FOR ME GIVE ME TENS button.

See pics of my car there.

Oh yeah, give me a ten while you are there.

Had a look. Needed to log in to vote. I would have given you an 8 however as I was expecting to see P2s like Ronin. Very nice car however. Needs more power.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
