Well I think this thread will also help Booztor a bit aswell!

I am missing my cap off my rear right hand mag? However this isn't just like a plastic sticker cap, my mags have actually got a metal cap about 10 centimetres in diameter, basically i have asked stores like Mr mag and speed wheels in Subi and Ian Diffen and they all said it would have to be made up?

This really is a sore sight for my eyes when i see the missing cap and am goign to have to buy some 18's if i can't get it fixed, i would rather buy a FMIC than a set of 18's as besides the missing cap, the mags really are LOVELY!

I AM GETTING DESPERATE FOR A CAP TO BE MADE ....PLLLLEASE HELP if you know of any companies that could help it would be MUCH appreciated!

Attached is a pic and you can see on the rear the mag cap missing...

Might sound silly but cut the bottom off a coke aluminium can and see if it will fit.

Darryl with the burgandy GTS (Works at wanneroo auto parts) has done it and it looks great. Wouldn't have picked it if he hadn't told me.

Had a nice aluminium finish with a Nissan sticker on it.

It depends on the size of your wheel flange plus you'll have to make 4 of them.

Heya Adam, bit of a late reply i've been a bit sick for the last couple a days!

To tell you the truth i am not too sure, i think it might be the standard rear but my car is just so dam low it's hard to tell :-)

normaly the aftermarket ones hang a bit low but the rest of the car has got skirts and stuff so it's hard to tell.....

By the way guys i have thought about the coke can think but it won't fit. at the moment i have all the caps off to make it look as though nothing is missing ..... wait umm yeah aaahh you know what i mean, so they all look the same! A friend has taken the caps to a guy near Morley to see if he can make a replica cast.

fingers are crossed! :(

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      By sausagepianist · Posted

      Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
