Hi just wondering what sort of profession straightens mags, do i just take it to a tyre place?

"Had a wonderful night last. Took my skyline to the shops, and on the way in i heard a clunk from my front right wheel, and just though it bent out my guard. checked it was fine so didn't worry. Left the shops (from undercover where there was light) then heard and felt bad noises at the front wheel, looked outside at it to realise in was buckled. Pulled up in the dark had a look to realise i was missing 4 wheel nuts, Luckily i had four lock nuts sitting in my centre console from december. (Never put them on because of the stereo in the boot, so i left it; Pulled out the stereo the other day to realise i have no jack or spanner)

Rang the g/f got the gear and fixed it up, put the four lock nuts on the one wheel, now i cannot find the lock nut fitting.

Now is this just Karma cuz i didn't put the gear in my car or has someone tampered with them cuz they dislike my skyline (there are alot of people that love to hate skylines)."

Morton and May in NSW are arguably the best in AUS, we tried nearly every one (3 or 4 in VIC and two in SA and QLD) we could find and they do the best job at the best price.

Extensive in SA is also very good but they tend to only repair the easy ones (to near perfect mind you). Mortons are happier to take on the total loss damages :blink:

Jacked it up last night, and spun the wheel, looks like its only out by about two mm...Will a wheel balance fix that? Would it be natural for mags to eventually fall out by this much, or are they that strong they shouldn't bend?

    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
    • A bit late but A disk S13P fit over stock R32 GTR brakes, usually A disk front, O disk rear works.
