Cool huh? Fo Shizzle. Nice car.

Now i pick it up at the depot and take my time driving it home. So here i am sitting at the lights, no license plates, no front bumper so i think yeah why not dump it a little. Pulls well i thought as I back it off from ***edited***. The speedo hits 100 and the rear left hand wheel shudders for no more than 2 seconds and DAMN the car is runnning with only 3 wheels. I look left and I see my rim bouncing down the road. Im like "What the f**k is going on here?". Hit the E brake and throw the car to the side of the road. Thank god there wasn't anymore near me. I get out and have a look and this is the result:

The studs sheered clean off. Not one BUT ALL 5!. Not less than an hour from picking it up. Not bad for spending 17K on a car inc transport.

The car has a vertex kit in calsonic blue and the exhaust took all the pounding. The hub is fine and so is the kit.

Thank god.

fixed pics up.

I chased the rim as quick as i could but after 2km of not finding it i gave up. I went back the next day and walked up and down looking even in the bush near the river. Nothing.

Shame

She looks hot! Maybe give the 32 a really really good look over before you drive it again and a service. I trusted the seller that my car had the oil change when it first arrived in aus, wasnt until i did the next change i saw the jap filter still on and the oil was farked.

So what's it packing? :)

"So whats she packing?"

3 wheels lol

I tried replacing the studs on the weekend and god damn nothing seemed to work. I'm going to take both rear hubs off and take them to Nissan have them changed. Should be right after that.

How to change wheel studs on a nissan

hope that helps

Man,

That is full on, it was bad enough that you snapped the studs off but then to lose that wheel???? Not good.

I had a similar thing happen in my old panelvan (read: pile of crap) i had some twelve slotters on and and they all wobbled loose on me, makes for interesting driving....

    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
