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.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
