Haha, let me hit the 350kw goal first. lol.

[ironpaw]

I can help with your addiction...

I would prescribe another 100kw to put that smile back on your face, but power costs money and lots of it. (as i'm sure your gtr mate has found out.) And you cant control what you have now... Back driving yet?

Another month and and half...almost...there...LOL

Even if I was pushing 350awkw I'm sure it won't have the same "feel" as a 350awkw GTR/Evo/WRX/etc etc...heck I've been in an Audi R8 (300kw?) and I'm sure that thing would rape a 400kw Nm35.

The 2 tonne weight and the gimped throttle (even if wire cut) is teh ghey.

Ah well can't have it all. Unless I start saving for a weekend car

The response is the killer with these, I drove an Evo 8 yesterday; I'd kill to have that kind of throttle response. Not so sure about the Police attention (or the woeful wing) though; I like my "invisible" wagon.

2tonnes? I weighbridged mine at 1680kg.

[ironpaw]

1680? Dammit we have even less of an excuse then!!

[Daleo]

I have no sunroofs, no leather, no electric seats; it's a thong. I'm pretty sure sunroofs & leather push it up by around 100kg.

Just realised why I do everything myself on my car - fing auto shops are as helpful as a kick up the balls.

went to a jax shop to enquire about some centre caps - had the measurement and everything. All he could say was you should try the wheel company email them or whatever. Didn't want to help at all. To busy selling shit wheels to commodore owners I guess.

Anyone know anywhere I can find some plain jane centre caps with a 79.5mm centrebore, with a decent (over 15mm) clearance over the bolt?

SSR US want $40 each for SSR ones

[iamhe77]

Have you tried RHDJapan?

If it isn't listed, get them to price them up.

[PN-Mad]

$54 each...

RHDFail

[bigkevracer]

So they have to be SSR ones?

[PN-Mad]

Nope, just have a centre bore of 79.5 mm, fit obviously, have a decent depth to fit over the hub bolt, and not look ghey- nice and plain so I can spray black and shove them on

The SSR ones look a work of art - turned aluminium or something I think, but are also shiny, and I don't really want shiny, and I don't really want to pay $40us each + postage to spray em black!

Dunno if Iain can still grab one to try, but maybe you could see if the centre caps of the Nismo LMX5 rim would fit?

They looked nice but pushed in to the rim so may not fit other rims. I don't know how yours are attached.

[PN-Mad]

Nah, I'd say the LMX5 centre bore is way too small. EVERYTHING I have tried has been too small, Craigs, varrstoens, stocks etc.

Just need to suck it up and buy some 2 mins noodles to live off for the next fortnight

[bigkevracer]

Let me know if you find anything. Picking up my wheels Saturday, and I've been told that I 'can't' fit centre caps.

Challenge accepted!

[Commsman]

2tonnes? I weighbridged mine at 1680kg.

Holy crap! I stripped everything loose out of mine (sub, spare wheel, tool kit, rear ashtray) to get to 'drag weight' & weighbridge came in at 1800kg. Curse you luxury (shakes fist in air for effect).

[PN-Mad]

1650kg here.

Well, started with no turbo system, doesn't have all that attessa pumps and shit you guys have, nil sun roof, cloth manual seats.

N1 spec stagea!

[iamhe77]

Any of these work Alex?

If others do then it might be possible to find some cheapies in the US?

[zei20l]

alex, maybe dale can turn something on a lathe for you?

[Commsman]

alex, maybe dale can turn something on a lathe for you?

Good idea. I hear Dale's doing nothing these days anyway...

[PN-Mad]

Good idea Iain. Thanks.

I'll see him this weekend. Got to figure how they fit in there, and see if it's possible.

[PN-Mad]

Having another look at theirs I can see, looks like it'd be hard to replicate the ssr. There is a rubber o ring and everything in the base of them. I can't quite tell how they seat, but the wheels so have a little lip in them. It's a mystery.
