Where To Get Hubcentric Rings Made?

I am wanting to buy some rims off a mate but my current hub centric rings are too big and the manufacturer doesn't reply to emails. They wouldn't be hard to make. The bit on the hub measures 66mm and the rim measures 70mm. I'm guessing thats something like ID 66.1mm OD 69.9mm. That or somewhere to buy them in the right size. Have only found limited sizes on ebay.

Thanks.

if you want metal (aluminium or steel) and they're not available on fleabay you can try some wheel and tyre places, or go to an engineering or machining place and ask them to spin up a set on the lathe to your tollerances.

I took an R32 GT-R wheel in to a Fyshwick engineering place and they made up 20 hub centric rings (five sets for myself and other MR2 owners) to fit GTR wheels to Toyota MR2 hubs (60.1 to 66.1). The rings are the right size and fit well but they made them out of the easiest material (steel) instead of aluminium as requested, be sure to be specific about materials and if you can, leave a wheel with them for the duration. cost was 11 per ring inc. GST so $44 for the set plus a bit of time and efforts priming the steel to prevent rust.

PM for details of workshop - not that i recommend them too highly after they changed materials without consent.

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
