As the title states, wondering if anyone has ever sourced Rays valve caps on their own, or if I have to, with the valve stems?

I'm missing 2 as of Sunday thanks to some little f**king punks that took them...

Not interested in just putting shitty caps on, so don't tell me to use 'normal' ones...

Thanks

First thing I did when I got the GTC's was take off the RAYS valve caps and put different alloy ones on. Same with my TE37's.

You can get them from any RAYS wheels shop, try access auto in vermont.

Awesome info. I might try give Access Auto a call later.

have you guys heard of anti-theft valve caps? I've seen people selling them around so do a search and perhaps give them a try.

used to have valve caps with little hex grub screws holding them in. Was a pain pulling out the little hex key to unscrew them

You can borrow 2 off my TE's if you need to dezz, as long as you replace them :P

Thanks for the offer, but I'm after a permanent replacement so I'll be buying a set

Just rang Access Auto and spoke to Adrian and apparently they don't do them, he said it would have to be a special order for the whole valve stems.

If anyone does find out someone who definitely sells them please post it up. :wub:

I'm able to get some, however it will work out cheaper for me, and anyone else who decides to get in on this, if we buy them together.

I'll be getting them directly from Japan, and due to the cost of shipping to the guy handling it for me, it works out cheaper to buy a few sets at once than one on it's own.

I'm not going to organise a group buy or anything, but if you and anyone else wants a set, send me a PM and we'll sort it out.

    • How do you go about diagnosing ecu's that don't have data logging, is it more experience at that point and just trying out things that you think will fix the issue?
    • Stock O2 are basically useless beyond anything at stoich. Any misfire will also be seen as lean. The stock O2 also read a collective exhaust gas volume, not each cylinder. Sputtering and missing means not each cycle is firing, and some are. Which means even if rich, as shit, on cylinders as they miss, they'll read lean, but the cylinders that did fire will read rich, and combined, well, they can read anything from rich to lean.   Start with the basics before even going looking at sensor values.   Edit: I say the above, and that's coming from the guy with a few thousand dollars worth of scan tools sitting right beside me right now that I use frequently for my job.
    • I just finished up a manual swap and I have a 1999 S2 AWD automatic in my garage, depending on where you are located. I'm in the the midwest of the US.
    • I’ve heard it can be done, you need to redrill the holes where they bolt to the chassis and apart from that they are the same. I’ve never done it or know anyone personally that has, it’s just something I’ve heard 
    • If it's reading full rich prior to a misfire that gives one directional hint, if it's already reading lean, etc. If it's reading pretty cleanly stoichiometric then suddenly drops out from a misfire that suggests it's not air mass estimation that's the problem. Could be ignition, could be something more subtle. Could be the CAS has decided to start dropping out at random or the drive pin is worn leading to excessive lash and trigger errors. LTFT can tell you the same but it's slower to react and if this is a recent issue it might not have stabilized. STFT stuck in one direction vs fluctuating back and forth can be used instead but I like to read O2 voltages anyways and interpret directly. If the O2 voltages make no sense in general or are super slow to react it could also be a failing O2 sensor. There's no real error correction for failing O2 sensors in these cars.
