Hey all,

Just wondering if some one with a set of the stock 18*9 r34 gtr rims could stick them on a set of bathroom scales and post up the weight for me. I've weighed the stock r32 gtr rims with tyres at 15.5kg each which are extremely light. The r34 rims are obviously bigger and should weigh more, but i was just wondering what they did weigh. With or without tyres does matter, just want a rough idea.

:)

don't forget a factory R34GTR wheel is forged by rays anyway...

made by BBS love muffin. you know that!

32 GTR, 33 GTR, 34 GTR and 32 GTR Vspec wheels are all made by BBS Japan. only 35 GTR wheels they switched to Rays. all are forged alloy. fun fact for the kids.

I also was under the assumption that RAYS made the 32/33/34 GTR rims, but then again the V Spec were quite obviously BBS... makes sense.

:D

:ermm:

yeah, it's a bit of a myth, but I can promise you the 32/33/34 wheels were all made exclusively for nissan by BBS japan. I have a big article here somewhere from a japanese GTR magazine about it.

regarding the weight I would guess 34 GTR wheel at around 9-10kg.

Yea I know I a bumping a post from 10 years ago, and yes I am desperate; plus Beer Baron cannot receive PMs for some reason... 

Beer Baron... you would not happen to have that article handy anywhere would you...?

    • The max they would go for me is 50.
    • That cannot have been a fun set of drilling. The stock "baffle" looks identical to rb26, I just cut fuel cell foam to fit the full length under the baffle.
    • I understand your sarcastic exasperation. But to be fair - the baffles do indeed fit OEM cam covers. They did omit to say that you need to do a bunch of stuff. But they do fit them.
    • Got started on the modification to make these splash plates fit over the long weekend. First the surprisingly time consuming task of swapping all the cam cap bolts to Tomei cam cap studs. I did the method of removing one bolt at a time, applying loctite to the stud, double nutting to torque as the manual described. Then carefully unlocking the nuts without disrupting the torque of the stud (and going back to re-torque a few times when it slipped). Finally applying the nut and torquing to spec. Repeat x28 Next up I went about removing the stock cam cover baffle so I could ensure it was fully clean after drilling for stud clearance.  As the blind rivets holding the baffle on were domed I used a punch to mark the center then used 4mm drill bit to carefully drill out the rivet without going too far part the baffle. As seen in other thread here is what is inside the stock baffles I decided on M4x6mm bolts to bolt the baffle plate back on with. I used a 3.3mm drill bit with some tape to mark the depth at ~8mm. Next was to tap the threads using a cheap bunnings kit M4x0.7. With the baffle removed I also drilled out the spot welds holding in the baffle plate oil returns. Unsure whether this was the best option or if I should have cut holes in the Hypertune splash plates to allow the oil drains to still function... time will tell. I then removed the the Hypertune splash plates so I could rest the cam cover on top and use a dab of grease to mark where the studs impacted the oem cam cover baffle. The most obvious spot was on the hump from the stock mesh is held. Using this hole as an anchor I bolted the oem baffle plate back into the cam cover and lined up the Hypertune splash plate. Marked the rest of the holes for the studs and drill those out too. Total 32 holes drilled and 12 threads tapped on the passenger side cam cover alone for this bolt on part that totally clears all OEM cam covers.. Drivers side next as well as some E85 safe fuel foam to fill the space behind the behind cam cover baffle plates. oh and some lock nuts for the splash plates of course.
