Hey guys - anyone out there have a set of the Wedsport SA70's in 18's? I'm thinking of getting some but I need to test fit a set before I order them to make sure they fit over my brakes.

I know for example in 18's that rims like LMGT4's and TE37's do fit but rims like CE28's, Volk Challenge and the stock R34 GT-R rims DON'T fit so I really don't want to order something from Japan only to have them not fit.

So if anyone has a set and cen let me test them out that would be super.

Cheers.

It's because Jack runs 365mm rotors. If I ran the propper AP rotors which are also 365mm then I wouldn't have this issues.

But it is because I set up to run the 375mm rotors from the V8SC that I have this problem. Same as Ben and Aaron have with the Harrops with the 382mm rotors. I think you'll even find Jacks CE's were originally Bens and he didn't discover they didn't fit until he'd already bought and paid for them.

So the problem is the internal diameter of the rims.

They're not the Weds mate but I'm happy for you to trial fit the RE30's....

Thanks mate but that doesn't help me with my problem - mainly being the weds are half the price of the RE30's. (which is a shame as I really like the RE30's)

Creful with the designations, some WEDS are cast, soem are forged even though they look the same, the difference is with prefixes etc. My ones are the old series forged.

Leewah has some 18: Weds, though not sure if cast or forged. (Difference betwen a little over 2k new and $4500 :blink:)

All SA70's are cast. However I understand there are 2 types of casting - gravity cast and upcast (pressure cast) and the SA70's are made the latter method.

Upcast is a LOT better than gravity cast even though it isn't as good as forged. But upcast has the strength - just not the lightness of forged rims. But the SA70's are still only about 9.5Kgs compared to the SA90's (which are forged) which are about 8.0KG.

Cool, thanks for the info :blink:

Frank has the same weds as Leewah, and Frank has AP 6 pots with 365mm rotor..

Snowy, its hard decision to make, i guess you got no choice but to find someone locally that has them to trial fit them, especially with the size of rotors you have....

      Squeaky bushes

      By silviaz · Posted

      @GTSBoy I found the issue (sort of) when I took apart the bushing again, it was completely dry inside! When I experimented with it, all the grease would push out when I would compress the bushings. I wonder if this has anything to do with me putting in the poly bush first on both sides and then pushing in the metal barrel. Maybe I should have put in the metal barrel first then the rubber bushings so the spread pattern is different.   It's fixed (for now).

      Can't put strut back

      Just redid that entire job. 4 hours, but tightened everything properly. Had to jack the rotor instead of having the car on blocks as there was no room for the FUCA arms to tighten and the j arm. All good now. Cheers for the help!

      I would sell those side feeds before you hydra-lock a motor. I won't say too much about Yellow Jackets because I'll hurt people's feelings, however ask those that tune RBs day in/out what they think of them.

      The 1000ccs are side feeds but they're not currently installed, had my old factory ones in for leak testing purposes, only decided on them because front facing plenums and good top feed rail kits are out of my budget at the moment, are they really that problematic? Had a set of yellow jackets that lasted me 5 years, no real issues, only replaced them chasing this misfire issue that ended up not being ignition related 😄

      Are those 1000cc side feeds? If so, that's part of your problem. I have 1480cc and they idle at stoich on 98RON, and all the way to E85. Also your coil packs.....
