And the reason there's no studs in that hub now is because i needed to take them out to get the hub out of the wheel bearing when I replaced it. Also you can't adjust the handbrake with studs in

You have my 100% support here mate. Changing wheels sucks balls. That's why I did the stud conversion. Bec's X5 has 20x12's on it. You should try holding those in place on a spinning front hub while you try to locate the hole for the fricken bolt. (Nobody raise the unnecessary size of those wheels please 😉 )

Yeah, I'm not comfortable with even the slightest chance something could go further wrong so I want it fixed ASAP. I went down to my tyre joint and i'm booked in for an alignment on Monday. They said they'd get their thread guy to come out and try and fix for me. If I did this myself with a tap I don't think I'd ever listen to music in the car again, I'd be listening for wheel noises. Appreciate the help guys.

Just tried a bolt and the tip of the bolt came out smooth as a baby's bum.

And yeah, female is in the hub. All other corners have had stud conversions but I needed to remove that conversion on this corner when I did the wheel bearing a few months back. Haven't put the studs back in since.

I gave a very half arsed (maybe even quarter arsed) attempt at putting another bolt in but I was a bit concerned about doing more damage. That said, surely the hub steel is stronger than the bolts?

Ola SAU'ers. I had the rear wheels off my car yesterday and one of the lugs just did not want to come off. I eventually forced it off and it looks like maybe it was cross threaded but then somebody used a gun to tighten it (for once it wasnt me who broke something). Maybe the alignment joint. Anyhoo, the lug has no thread at all for the bottom 1" so I'm hoping the damage was done to this and not the hub itself. I dont want to just start threading something in there willy nilly so thought I'd check with you guys. Maybe this is a "not me" fix in which case I can take it down the road. How long can I drive on 4 lugs? 🤔 C

Its already at 9400 signatures. Lets keep it moving! https://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/la/pages/epetitions-list.aspx

From Wakefield; Please consider signing. This is a very important track for all levels of driver and needs to be saved.

OMG, I'm so IN! Thanks for letting me know @Duncan.

https://www.drive.com.au/news/r-plate-could-make-things-worse-for-for-returning-or-nervous-drivers-experts/ I agree with the sentiment in the article. The intention is positive but these drivers will just become targets. That said, it isn't a government proposal so there's not much in it.

Hey @Duncanemails are going out like crazy. What date was the update that you missed? Are you getting other updates?

Hi tenacious, Welcome to SAU. How far from the import are you?

Damn just saw this. Yes! I've been meaning to add some new ones for a while.

Let me know if its any better now @TurboTapin

Thanks @TurboTapin . Will get those sorted.

Welcome Steve!

Hi Kuda. You might get more traction in the classifieds sections.

Not sure if this has been posted but worth the watch. Absolutely incredible.

Hi and welcome Eddie. The big question here is - what are you trying to achieve with the car? Street, drag, track, drift? Big power, usable power?

Not many RB20e R33s made it here. I don't think it was eligible for import for a long time.

Any updates?

So sorry, this is shit. I'll share as much as I can.

Yeah I'm having a hard time understanding this topic at all. For the most part, irrespective of the car, be it JDM or not, $10k is not a huge amount of money. Especially in our car market, I was looking at manual 350Z's last night on Carsales and found none for under 18k. I'm not pouring out any sympathy for a 10k GTR. Soz.
