Hi Guys,

I'll throw this out to the general population but thought I might check with the locals first.

After finally getting them restored it seems I have lost a centre cap for my Sparcos.... It's somewhere between here and Batemans Bay so no chance of getting it back. These wheels I believe to be called Sparco Pythons although I have also seen them referred to as Vipers.

I've attached a pic to remind you all of what these look like... (Bear in mind that mine are a different red as they have been painted which is what I'll do if I find another) If anyone sees a set of these anywhere or has some sort of idea where I can find another please let me know. I have already begun searching the globe but I don't think they will be easy to find.

Please let me know if you have any ideas I'm so pissed off!! I have found one set for sale but at $750 for 17x7s it is really not my desired option.

Cheers

Kat

good luck!

i had a set of these rims, took me a few years to find a centre cap/nut for it.

there is a similar rim which is called python NSII, but i'm pretty sure they are actually called Sparco Hyper Fang II.

yep.. most places just list them as sparco rims..

took me ages to find the name, and then source some centre caps... i *may* be able to find out where my old rims went, because i had 7 caps (original 3 plus the 4 i bought) cant promise anything though!

  • 2 weeks later...

Have you tried contacting Sparco directly? I had a similar issue with my Koya rims, the centre cap on one rim lost the top cap thing and the logo started to fade. E-mailed Koya and they sent me a set of four by express post at no charge. Worth a try!

OMG Really????????? They are 17x9s and I think the offset might be around 40 but don't quote me on that part... I would be forever in your debt for a full new set of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am trying to find a contact for Sparco but easier said than done.

Ok Kat, I called my contact for Sparco parts (not wheels unfortunately) and he said that these wheels arent imported anymore as they dont sell enough units.

The Sparco motorsports parts importer is Unique Autosports - (02) 9620 9000, Im told that the centre caps that youre after will most likely have to be ordered from Italy so expect to pay big $$$ for them.

Thats the best I have, sorry :(

Thankyou matey I will give them a call. Will also try Crimson in Japan who are the ones that make the wheels.

These shouldn't be coming from Italy, should be coming from Japan... The hard thing is we have Sparco in Italy and we have SPARCO Racing in Japan. These are the Racing ones. Had someone from Sparco clear that up for me :(

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
