What are the best value and what do they cost? Next question where is the best place to buy them?

Also am going to need to run 10mm spacers with my new wheels. So will need spacers, i assume they must be bolt on. So is a there a good place for longer wheel studs or dont i need them for the bolt on type?

Bolt on type dont need longer studs (you might even have to cut them shorter if your wheel doesn't have the recesses in the back), but I dont think they make 10mm bolt ons, not enough meat to hold the studs. The thinnest I've seen is 15mm with 20mm being much more common. Just Jap sell the 15mm ones and they are hub centric which is helpful :D

Troy,

I was chasing some hub centric bolt-on 10mm spacers for my gtst. Unfortunately 10mm is too thin for the bolts to be sunk into the spacer and are therefore unavail. The thinest bolt-on spacer I could find was a 15mm one from Kudos MS on these forums.

As for the wheel nuts....I'm using a set of Rays Daytona which are a hollow type (can see how much thread is being used) and have a rotating ring at the part that meets the rims which stops any damage being done to the rim if you over torque the nuts.

Cheers

So if i have a +40 wheel and need it to be +30 your telling me im stuffed?

For a bolt on spacer I'm afraid so.....you can get 10mm dodgy plate spacers though

Will the extra 5mm (ie 15mm bolt on type) really make a difference?

basically for 10mm spacer your only option is slip on. there are 2 types. the cheap arse ones, and the nice alloy ones that have an extra hub lip on them. either one is 'ok' but obviously one type is better! for 10mm spacers, I'd get 10mm longer studs too (well nismo make ones that are either 8mm longer, or 18mm longer). If you go bolt on you wont need new studs but you will almost certainly have to cut down your old ones which means they wont be any good if you want to take the spacers off again. but of course 15mm is the smallest bolt on spacer around. the nicest ones I've seen are the rays daytona ones. will have a look in the rays catalogue when i get home.

oh, and the daytona nuts are the shiznit! plus from memory they are 17mm hex which is handy if you have narrow 'holes' in your wheels which can make 19mm nuts a biatch.

I've got the other version of the Ray's nuts, but the extended long version so I could fit them over long studs if need be (ie taking spacers off). They're nice :D

Paid $200 for them new, but from a 'private' seller who had a few sets.

NISMO sells the 7-sided extended long version Lock-nuts

I bought a set when I was in their OMORI factory, basically all 20 of them are 7-sided lock nuts that would fit long studs.

They also have the racing version which has hollow centres.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.

      Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
