I was just about to buy one of those, but I found a Works Bell quick release for relatively cheap (obviously not cheaper than NRG), and the Works Bell is quality, no play and clicks in every time like the first time. I did a bit of research about NRG vs Works Bell and after reading lots of comments/feedback/posts, I personally wouldn't buy the NRG.

But I guess comparing NRG to cheaper quick releases, NRG should be a tad better lol

Yeah, it was brand new in box because previous owner bought it and didn't use it. I got it for $270, and I can tell you now, the quality of it, is worth every cent. Since I've played with some cheaper quick releases, and the cheaper ones feels really filmsy.... Where as the Works Bell is solid, ZERO play, clicks on, clicks off the same way everytime, very smooth.

I think Works Bell has patented the ball locking mechanism and companies like NRG and others just copied it. The way the quick releases are manufactured is different to, don't quite remember from my research but Works is forged and others are casted? But there is a difference in quality.

I personally rather pay a tad more for a peace of mind, knowing that my wheel won't be coming off during a corner lol :)

Haha, yeah was pretty lucky. It was advertised on a Facebook group for $300 and bargained it down to $270 pick up :P

If you are ever in Melbourne, you are more than welcome to come try it in person :)

thanks for that! ill look into that there!!

I presume no direct knock offs are made of them, ie there only cheap cos they look the same but are chinese ones lol

Works Bell Rapfix II

That's the same one that I have too. All black.

On the Works Bell, on the hub part that bolts onto the boss kit, on the bottom of it, it has that WB icon, along with a kanji etched to show authenticity :)

Glad it's tax time because I'm about to snap that up!! Absolute bargain.

Have any of you fellas used the Works quick release lock with this at all?

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
