Hi Guys,

Noticed some a noise slightly different to the normal clangs my car makes on the bumpy roads where i live and when i got to my destination checked the car and there is a wheel nut missing from my rear drivers side!!! They are 18" starcorp impuls as in my pic with locknuts.... one of the normal nuts is missing.

My question is, what sort of wheel nut do i get to replace it? Is it the same spec as factory R33, and if so whats that? Im hoping i still have the tyre change kit in the boot so i can tighten the other nuts this afternoon and that they are the same size so i can actually do it!!

Do places like autobarn, supercheap etc sell wheel nuts? Ill be calling today to ask but just after some answers if people have them. Most important what bloody wheel nuts to be asking for...

Cheers!

Yeah, size is 12 x 1.25 (I recently had to replace mine) Just make sure you find a set that are small enough in size that you can fit whatever tool you need to get them on & off (Which was my problem, the normal wheelnuts from super cheap etc where 21mm, and I can only get the 19mm socket fitting on my wheel brace to fit in my mag wheels)

    • Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
    • I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.    
    • Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
    • I used to do that (sills with rubber jack block).. ... then I got side skirts, and there's no way for the jack to actually work there, the jack pad itself on the jack is too big. Is the answer to use a... smaller (?) jack? Hmmm.
    • I have too much trauma from every skyline I've ever seen having crushed jack points/pinch welds lol.    Yep, works 100%, it's what I use when I'm using the quick jack. Don't know why I can't also bring myself to do the same thing when I'm using a jack. I blame the skyline PTSD.
