Alloy hubs versus stock

[4000GT]

The alloy ones weigh 1.2kg, anyone know what the stock ones weigh? Just trying to work out bang for buck the weight savings

1.8kg (weighed 5min ago )

lol now thats great service! Thanks a lot D.

1.2kg is not bad savings! It all adds up right...

PS I visited France a few years ago, nice wee country

1,2kg for 2?

Well, 1.8-1.2 X 2 = 1.2.

haha all good.

600g on each side, considering the fact that these are rotating mass, that's quite a good weight saving yea.

You can save also on brakes (aluminium bell on discs) and on the wheels.
(I love the weight of my TE37 )

All added, it should be a great improvement on braking distances and on accelerations.

PS: I never ad the chance to visit New Zealand (mainly because I spend the very few money I have in my 86...)
but I always wanted to see this side of the world (NZ but also Japan and Australia)

[4000GT]

Yeah I have Wilwood brakes up front

I cant get TE37's in the size I need sadly, but that might change with these hubs and the S13 rear end conversion!

I have been to Aussie and Japan as well, I would highly recommend Japan! Or the Aussie outback for some scary fun

Have you take a look on TE37V ? Plenty of sizes and offsets for our cars.

For the rear end, I'm more for N2 setup (equal length link and/or watt linkage) instead of a conversion.
(N2 hit the 59s mark @ Tsukuba with that kind of setup)

But that's up to you to decide what's best for your hachi :wink:
