Seriously?

Prank, I think you're gonna have to get some drum brakes off a Datto 1200/120Y (thank God for Nissan parts interchangability, hey?) at each corner to fit those wheels on!!!

At least that way, you could get some 12" rims off that same 1200/120Y to substitute if you get a flat - they look about the same size...

:lol:

Wow, not too popular!

And here I was just being blown away by the retro/drift/oldskool/rebel/serious function of those wheels . .

Gotta say I like the look, old school wheels on a newer car. Can't tell you what they're called though.

But I know some guys who might, hang on.

ok guys... thanks! (i think)

apparently they sell for about $650 a rim (without rubber), so **** that!

I was only going to get them as a track wheel... not for everyday street use, i still think they look pretty cool but not as cool as a phat set of 18s or so..

Hey Prank,

I picked up a set of Volk Racing 17s, WITH used Formula-Rs on them for $2,000 from Powerplay.

Check some of the importers, heaps of them change the rims that were on the car when they arrive for something larger/more interesting. Also, smaller 17 or even 16s will be cheaper to buy exotic rubber so that you stick better.

No point getting great looking rims for track days, they just get scratched when your wife thrashes them into the kitty litter:uh-huh:

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
