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.

    • This sounds like a perfect excuse to install a Haltech R3.
    • I do believe from context he is talking about a S0/S1 R33 RB25 with associated ECU and Wiring for that, and a manual gearbox into a R34 N/A Auto. I don't have the knowledge of all the pinouts and such but my gut feeling from doing my own conversion is to use as much of the R33 stuff that you can. The "car" wiring is quite seperate from the "Engine" wiring when all things are considered. The only things to truly consider 99% of the time is the cluster, reverse lights and potentially disabling the 'not in P/N' immobilizer circuit.
    • A realistic expectattion of how long it has to last also comes down to.... when do you think you will be banned from registering and driving old petrol powered shitters? It's 27 years since that thing was built. It probably rusted out 15 years ago. It was probably repaired and looked OK for another 10. If you do a similarish bodge job now, or perhaps slightly better with some actual rust conversion and glassing, then.... get another 10-15 years out of it, after which you'll only be permitted by the CCP to drive electric cars manufactured in their Shenzen zone anyway. 
    • Let me assume that the concern over a manual ECU is that the NeoDET that you have was an auto and has an auto ECU. That ECU will not be a problem, but you WILL have to Nistune it. And you would have to Nistune it even if you had a manual ECU, because the turbo ECUs will shit the bed if they do not have all the things that they were told they have to have, to be happy. The big one being the TCS CU, which you won't have in your car. Anyway, with an auto ECU (which I have running my originally auto NeoDET in an R32) Nistune allows you to put in a Stagea image which doesn't panic about the absent TCS, and allows you to override a whle bunch of other annoyances that would otherwise see the check engine light on 100% of the time. Also, you can't wind up the power very far on the stock NeoDET ECUs without Nistune, because the boost sensor gets in the way. Nistune allows you to push that problem much further up the dial. Do you even have the boost sensor with the engine? Without it, you are SOL and will need an aftermarket ECU (or to find a sensor somewhere, god knows where). I can't tell you what the wiring loom differences are in a 34. But what Duncan said above needs to be considered. When you say "loom", does that include the transmission loom? Because you will need to swap out the auto tranny loom for the equivalent manual loom, and get rid of the neutral/park start interlock (basically hot wire it).
    • I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as
