I WTB raised center caps for LMGT4s but they are discontinued.

Am I SOL getting anything else from Rays range that will happen to fit?

They are the press-in rubber ring type, not the clip type. nengun still sell the flat ones. I fancy the hub ones. 

If anyone has hub ones in bronze, I'll happily swap for flat, and pay $$s.

It's been a long time since I chased some up for mine (I was after the flats though) but I thought they were interchangeable with te37 from memory.
I'd just be keeping an eye on yahoo auctions for them, have you asked other importers as well in case they can still source? Import Monster, Jesse Streeter, etc.

Not sure if it will help but I've got the part numbers for them.

Standard type with Rays logo (depth 25mm): 40315-RN850-BR (BR =Bronze, swap 'BR' for 'S' or 'BK' to get silver or black)

I know nothing about LM 2/3/4 center caps ! ! ! ( search search search ) . . . . . 

But if you get stuck the and you still want to go with that style of cap then the alloy outer body could easily be spun up on a lathe.

The center section looks like an insert and could be molded up in various plastics or resins to suit

thanks

been searching my head off. There is much confusion over diameters not helped by two styles, o-ring type and clip type. If te37 are the same then that helps. I sent an email to rays wheels to see if I can get an answer.

On facebook marketplace I found a NOS high set but black, not bronze. I guess I could get those powder coated if the correct color never appear.

the nengun bronze flat caps I have are an annoyingly slightly incorrect color match for my bronze wheels just to make things more irritating.

From my understanding the clip type where only sold in the States as they were dealer option on z33's.

My previous set of LMGT4's were bronze & I found the same thing with the centre caps, the 2 that came on my wheels when purchased were a different finish but the new set of 4 I got matched correctly.
Same issue with my silver 19's, caps available in the standard silver anodised finish that matches the spokes and in the 'diamond finish' to match the machined section in the centre of the wheel.

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...

      BCNR33/ECR33 Door corner piece replacement

      By PLYNX · Posted

      Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !

      I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
