Im so pissed coz i cant find anywhere to buy a replacement, so im going to have to buy the entire set.

i dont get why people do this crap, its so annoying...

Thats really lousy Mass :worship: what happened to the good old days where people used to steal P plates or tyre valve caps?? :nyaanyaa:

Would you bother putting a lock nut on each rims to balance them all??.. saves you buying a whole set :yucky:

yeh i know, i cud handle the valve but a nut thats just annoying... The wheels already have the rays lock nuts, so i need the normal wheel nut, otherwise id have 2 lock nuts on the wheel haha

thats f**ked.

if you catch these f**kers make sure you get a nut back.

lol

mass, if you buy a set, I'll take the security nuts off you (and the socket/key), as the compliance workshop smashed my secuirty nuts to change the wheels, and I have 4 regular blue rays nuts on each of my wheels. annoying really.

Unlucky Mass

Someone stole one of my red Work nuts on my Skyline too.

Had to order another $200 set just to replace it.

Took 4 of the nuts and sold the other 16 to some Silvia 4-stud guy so I got some of my money back. Major inconvenience though.

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
