I have on the way 18x10 +18s Workd Xd9s...

But they dont come with nuts. So ive looked around at like the rays nuts, work nuts and the group buy nuts.

What is the differences between them all? Why would i pay more for one over another??? Which are better?

Also what type/size would i need for these rims and to fit a GTR R33?

Cheers

You need to get the nuts with the thread pitch of 12x1.25.

The ones you see for sale at ~$200 a set, I think you're just paying for the name and light weight of the nuts. Not 100% sure on that one. :)

I have to say that when they said 'light weight', I didn't expect it to be that light. I was shocked at how light they were. I paid ~$120 for a set of blue Ray lock nuts from yahoo auctions Japan.

are the r31 ozzy spec the same as the s13 and are they 12x1.25???

I wana get a set for my r31 to put my new wheels on but i dont wana buy another set for when i put the s13 hubs on.

I'm not 100% sure on the 31s thread pitch, but I would take a guess and say that it's 12x1.25 too. Most Nissans are. The S13s are 12x1.25.

Nissans are usually 12x1.25 whereas Toyotas are 12x1.5. Best to trial fit though before buying. Just get someone who owns a Toyota and try their nut. It should screw in, but then go hard, I wouldn't recommend pushing it in any further for obvious reason. haha

Ok thanks... BUt lets face it wheel nuts arent heavy to start off with.... Alloy ones no good??

Aparently they can't cope with the loads for circuit work and I have read that the fine print on the packaging tells you not to you them for motorsport....

No problem for street use though.

The RAYS Duraluminium nuts need to be hand tightened, or otherwise you'll destroy the thread. If I remember correctly, they're meant to be torqued in the low 90Nm range.

I also destroyed a set...by letting tyre monkeys at the shop use rattle guns on them.

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
