Hi John

i have TE37 replicas i bought from tyre place in brisbane.

They are magnesium and therefore extremely lightweight, but they are also very strong.

I dont know the quality of the ones on ebay, but the replica TE37s i have are great quality.

Magnesium hey?

excuse my cynicism, but you know that the magnesium version of TE37s are around twice the price of the standard forged aluminium TE37s?

don't be offended, but i don't think yours will be magnesium - they'll be conventional gravity cast alloy.

don't believe everything you're told, or even what it says in the casting! Taiwanese and China manufactuers will cast anything into the wheels...

So what exactly is considered light these days? I can pick up a TE37 in 18" which weighs just under 8kg with two fingers...that to me is light.

yeah my mate has drifteks and say they were light as. almost like when they picked up the box, it felt as if nothing was in them. i didnt really beleive they would be as light as the actual LMGT4's. i guess they use the new process with casting metal as you're talking about?

stock R32 GTR wheels weigh 7.3kg each. bang for buck? oh hells yeah.

this revolutionary process wouldn't involve casting so that the cross section resembles an aero chocolate bar would it?

      RB20 in need of modest love injection

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Hey guys, so Golebys has good prices on Bosch injectors, and also sell an adaptor to go from 1/2 length injector to standard with the Nissan 10.5mm top seal.  Does anyone know if that adaptor is to suit the 14mm or 11mm injector tops?  And re. The bottom seal, to suit my standard RB20 intake, would I be right in saying I can just slip the 14mm square section O ring over the bottom of the new injector and done? Thanks in advance guy, Cheers, Rowdy

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      F my life. I was changing the oil on my R32 GTR today as usual and ran into a bit of a snag. I drained the oil out and was getting ready to finish the job by tightening the drain plug, however The stupid magnetic oil drain plug snapped in half, right at the magnet part. After about an hour of trying to remove it, I used a drill bit, which unfortunately pushed the magnet all the way into the pan, and just leaving the hollow threaded part of the bolt remaining. I was able to remove the hollow portion of the bolt from the oil pan with some pliers but the magnet is still in there.  So, the question is, should I drop the oil pan to get the magnet piece out, or is it okay to leave it in there? I really dont want to drop the pan, i'm about to go nuts.  PSA: Do NOT buy a BLOX magnetic drain plug. This is the one i had.    https://bloxracing.com/products/magnetic-oil-drain-plug-m12x1-25mm?variant=37131252859052&country=US&currency=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw47i_BhBTEiwAaJfPpgti1D2JwO7TDuMpXuqeQPCuIQSAfwxpWQH5rF9MD7sm5SCZDWLR_RoC_YoQAvD_BwE
