Perfect differential photo's

Wonder with the GT500's if you can remove the centre and replace with the flat cap ?

Only as it is impossible to get a set of 4 centre caps for the GT500's

You'd have to have them custom made. (and there would be a small market for them)

I beleive Terry has gone down that road.

Without the centre caps they're essentially the same anyways :P but the asking price is fair and good!

The centre caps and fittings alone could fetch $500 or more due to the scarcity of the wheels alone. If I had a spare set id be calling $1000 ;)

For the buyer of your GT500 rims k3, here are my 2 sets of rims with the recommendation as to who to go to for hexagonal hub copies...

A) LMGT4 18"x10.5"

The Hexagonal Centre Caps can be made by "PLYNX" if you ask Pete nicely. He won't charge exorbitantly.

The Aluminium disc can be made by Pete too. Great job by Pete - very talented indeed!

But the Nismo sticker is from a set available from JustJap

Hey all, I have a 3d printing business evok3d.com and we could easily replicate those lock style centre caps on the basis they are no longer manufactured. If anyone has an original in Melbourne that they can lend me for a week give me a PM. Cheers, Joe

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
