I'd look more into the size of the nuts. I bought 21mm WORK nuts for my 5Zigen rims (might have more room inside CE28's) and its impossible to tighten/loosen them without ruining the rim. I'll be looking specifically for allen key nuts soon to replace these ones.

I didn't think long or short mattered as long as you have an extension bar for your socket?!

i use

Ray Daytona Racing Nut

they are 17mm, so are good for rims which cant use the stock wheelnuts (e.g like my nismo rims) and total length of 44 mm

for my rims NISMO LMGT2, the front fit in good but the rear wheelnuts stick out just alittle bit maybe 10mm but still looks ok :domokun:

These are the ones I bought (not from eBay though)

EDIT: my bad, they are the same size just have a weird thumb screw thingy on the end :blink:. Where'd you get yours Mikey?

I use RAYS long nuts on my CE28N

I think short version is better for looks

the long ones stick out quite far from the hubs

Hi,

Yeah, I ended up going for some short versions.

Thanks all for the input.

Regards

Andrew

yahoo auction couldn't find anyone in australia which stock them and they cost me the same as the normal ray wheel nuts

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
