Hey guys,

Just thought id let you all know that im not happy at all. Yesterday some ass hole, stole one of my rays wheel nuts. Now im left with a wheel that is missing a sexy blue nut :wave:

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...

anyways thats my stupid rant, oh and if anyone has a rays wheel nut lying around that will fit on my GTR, then let me know, i will buy it off ya :D the nuts are the ones in my avatar pic....

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.

    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
