do you have the packaging for the lock nuts?

if you do it should have a code on there somewhere so that you can get replacement socket.

if you dont u will have to use an angle grinder to cut a slot in the nut and then get a chisel and hammer. put the chisel in the groove that is in the lock nut and hit it with a hammer to turn it.

other option is to weld a bar to the nut to turn it.

hope that helps

mmmm..

nah i dont have the package..

shit aye..sounds alot of work,, damnn, but nah thanks dude for the advice, so after i get the nuts out, where can i replace then? just rock up to anything wheel tyre shop get a new package i guess hehe

cheers

Hey guys, i lost my special tool to unlock a nut of the wheeel, therefore i cant even change tyres...

please advice...

Someone who knows what they're doing can remove a lock-nut in about a minute.

You just need to find a socket small enough that it needs to be hammered onto the nut, and fits tight enough so that you can turn it as normal.

Cheers :ermm:

places like bob jane actually put the lock nut code with your details in the computer in case you ever lose it. Of course thats about all BJ is good for. Try going back to the place you bought them if possible and seeing if they still sell it.

(ps when you get a new set make sure you write down the code and brand on your service records/similiar)

Put up apic of your locknut ( a clear close up) or P.M. a pic to me and i'll tell you the best way to get them off ( via P.M.). I dont want to put it up on the forum for obious reasons..

What the other guy said............just get a socket about the right size and smash it over the locknut with a hammer so that it fits tight, then undo it. Its not that hard.

A mate of mine went to beaurepaires and they charged him $50 to get them off. Would've been a lot cheaper to do it the other way.

Go to a tyre place and they'll get em off easy.

If you wanna do it yourself buy some el-cheapo softest metal you can find socket that'll go over it and smash it on with a hammer. Use that for the rest of the wheels. Playing with really big screwdrivers can do it as well.

Just drive your car to the dodgiest looking suburb in town... kick back in a deck chair a good 50m or so away, crack a beer and wait. Some locals will come along and have them off in a jiffy!

...important to stay alert though... so not TOO much beer... (boy that caught me out once)

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
