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?

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
