i've got a set of nuts in my drawers...

no seriously in my filing cabinet there's a set of ray's nuts that got sent to us for some reason from the aussie distributors.. they're not that badly priced either, got some other stuff from em... eg $10 per centre cap is pretty cheap :rolleyes: i'll see if they're available for sale

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:

if you wanna do some serious weght reduction git yo asses on a treadmill :cheers: failing that take out the backseat... its only good for carrying shopping anyways. You can't even have good sex in it.

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

LW.

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
