Well I think this thread will also help Booztor a bit aswell!

I am missing my cap off my rear right hand mag? However this isn't just like a plastic sticker cap, my mags have actually got a metal cap about 10 centimetres in diameter, basically i have asked stores like Mr mag and speed wheels in Subi and Ian Diffen and they all said it would have to be made up?

This really is a sore sight for my eyes when i see the missing cap and am goign to have to buy some 18's if i can't get it fixed, i would rather buy a FMIC than a set of 18's as besides the missing cap, the mags really are LOVELY!

I AM GETTING DESPERATE FOR A CAP TO BE MADE ....PLLLLEASE HELP if you know of any companies that could help it would be MUCH appreciated!

Attached is a pic and you can see on the rear the mag cap missing...

Might sound silly but cut the bottom off a coke aluminium can and see if it will fit.

Darryl with the burgandy GTS (Works at wanneroo auto parts) has done it and it looks great. Wouldn't have picked it if he hadn't told me.

Had a nice aluminium finish with a Nissan sticker on it.

It depends on the size of your wheel flange plus you'll have to make 4 of them.

Heya Adam, bit of a late reply i've been a bit sick for the last couple a days!

To tell you the truth i am not too sure, i think it might be the standard rear but my car is just so dam low it's hard to tell :-)

normaly the aftermarket ones hang a bit low but the rest of the car has got skirts and stuff so it's hard to tell.....

By the way guys i have thought about the coke can think but it won't fit. at the moment i have all the caps off to make it look as though nothing is missing ..... wait umm yeah aaahh you know what i mean, so they all look the same! A friend has taken the caps to a guy near Morley to see if he can make a replica cast.

fingers are crossed! :(

      Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
