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.

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
