funkymonkey,

Mate when you say centre cap could it be the same as what I was talking about before... the dust cover that covers all the nuts. Ie. the disc that goes over the top.

I am trying to find a black Rays one with a cursive "R" in the centre.

Sorry didn't read this guys post - yeah agreed, these guys are acting like they are doing some stage 3 weight reduction by installing lightweight 'wheel bolts'

lol! I've seen it all, can someone please outline me the performance benefit form saving 8oz (what? ~200g?) per wheel of unsprung weight on a street registered car? I've got volks and I'm gonna weigh my steel nuts to make sure I'm not missing out on this obvious way to slash my times! :cheers:

rice and nuts...isn't that a biryani? :confused:

Funkymonkey: Did you have any luck finding the wheel nuts?

So far I've been to:

Nissan

Bursons

Autobarn

Superpov Auto

Beurepairs

Bob Jane

Repco

Tons of other wheel/tyre places.

Nobody has them!!! They're not the standard ones as I'm using spacers with my wheels.

I spoke to Stamford Tyres today, and they are the official distributor for Volk. They also sell Rays products direct to the public.

The Rays Duraluminum nuts comes in a short and long form: short is ~$200 and long is ~$250. I am not sure of the exact difference in length, nor which ones are needed :P

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
