Can't post pics until they are sprayed. They are a mongrel to mask because some parts are really fiddly. I've got to rub them back also.

If the 3M rubbing stuff TOUCHES the polished bit, I'm screwed, so I have to be Uber careful.

It's lunch time and after work for me for a little while.

Although I did find a pretty clever way to mask them using off cuts from some paper stuff at work!!!

Stay Tuned.

my mate's ebaying these, if the K-Mart hubcaps don't work out for you poite... even has a spare set of rears for teh driftzor!

fiddly bits.... sounds like there are nuts or something involved, i vote a GT-C of some colour description, and then getting painted black, and as pete said, being careful of the polished bits, ie, lip/rim bit.

my 2 south african rand

you painted LMGT4's...

Like i said...onl;y sheap crappy wheels need to be painted. LM GT4s are not Regamasters! Oh, im painting them as well :happy: . . . . . :P

And Pete, it wouldnt have been such a bastard to rub back the centres if you had of polised the outers after painting the centres. These were on Poite's outdoor setting the other day.

Painted didn't think they were rubbed back enough, so I'm sitting on the floor in my lounge room, surrounded by wheels and rubbing them back.

STILL.

Stoopid fiddly little bastards.

    • Hell, I'm sufficiently wary of the ZSS suspension arms, let alone something like a hub.
    • Got it back home and got started pulling the hub off and diagnose the issue. Axle was stuck after removing the 36mm nut so i used a 3 jaw puller to try and push it out and... eH5FXvJ8.mp4   spend the next few hours trying to remove the axle from the remaining hub as it was very much jammed in there when the spindle sheared off. resulting damage as below R53AIy6 - Imgur.mp4   Looks like the was already a stress fracturing in the spindle as can be seen with the darker cracked section My working theory is maybe when the pinion gear exploded last year the shock put through the hub was the initial crack. Then a few events later it finally let go. Just lucky it happened where it did and not 190km/h on the next sweeper or into the hairpin The bearing/hub assembly went in in 2019 and were non-genuine "ZSS" assemblies and no nails were harmed in the process. #BreakHubsNotNails
    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
