If they are indeed fake, I prefer to just get a refund as I don't want to pass them onto someone else. Here are some pictures that I took. http://www.flickr.com/photos/67594052@N08/6147016082/ Have a look through the photos. The first one shows the centre of the lug nuts and if you look down the centre, it is not uniformly red.. it seems to fade out as if they did a poor job of spraying them. The second picture is of the attachment for the lock nuts. There is nothing engraved on the attachment and also the inside of the attachment seems to be not sprayed properly. The rest of the images are little dents/scratches/imperfections that I noticed EACH being on a DIFFERENT nut. Judging by the overall quality, I find it hard to believe that these are genuine.

If you do a search on Ebay, there are plenty of RAYS wheel nuts going for around $60 plus postage...and there are ones that cost $250 all australian sellers too. so you have been warned...the fakes are out there. Hieumungus..the one you posted is definitely not genuine.

go lodge a claim with Paypal and get your money back,

i would fell sorry if the seller honestly thought they were genuine as he would be stuck with quite a few sets of lug nuts now lol

So someone proved they were fake? I missed that bit??

Nate, the pictures on my flickr show the poor quality nuts that I received. I'm not sure if yours are the same but I ordered two sets and both of them were of crap quality and I had a few mates who ordered some too and got pretty much the same.

Just a question to those that decided to use these lug nuts on their cars. Any issues with them? I've been trying to get a refund for mine but since Ty is refusing to give me a refund until my mate withdraws his paypal dispute, I might not ever get a refund and might have to consider using them.

      Hypergear ATR45 SAT Turbo With addons (brand new - never used)

      Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action

      Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand.

      Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!

      Hypergear ATR45 SAT Turbo With addons (brand new - never used)

      By Danowner · Posted

      I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
