As stated in topic description...can single work wheels nuts be purchased somewhere? if so, anyone know where? or can they be re-threaded somehow? My cousin f**ked one up trying to put it back on my car while "HELPING" me put one of my wheels back on while I was on the other side putting the other on...

...pfft..."some" help indeed.

i dont particularly wanna have to buy a whole set for another 200 bucks or so, just so i can use ONE.

Thanks in advance

Justin

Give my cousin some? he f**ked MINE up...HE should be getting ME some work wheel nuts for xmas! haha but yeah i'll ask my supplier...

buy a set of lock nuts.

Then you have 3 extra work nuts.

and you rims are safe

Well yeah, but then it looks kinda ghey coz each wheel has four red nuts and one silver or whatever color they end up being...

get a $2 can of spray paint and paint them. 2 or so coats of sealer.. and just be careful when you take the bolt out to not chip the paint

that's a bit hard...already used a rattle gun on the work nuts and even the work nuts have started chipping... :D oh well...

go buy yourself a torque wrench and have it set to about 100nm and then you will be fine for next time

and yeh liek Hamish said, you used a rattle gun on $200 wheels nuts????

*sigh* PLEEEEEEEASE...don't get me started...i'm pissed off enough as it is...

bah...i'll explain...

got defected...too low...so removed exhaust to gain clearance but still too low...jacked up car to adjust coilovers, but had an extremely hard time doing so...and coz I was extremely sick (and still am) I just couldnt muster the strength to keep trying.

...so called my suspension place...explained to my suspension guy (manager) what was goin on...he told me to bring it in and he'd fix it up.

took it to my guy who took the car in and I went for a walk to get something to eat. I came back and the manager had gone home apparently soon after I left and left my car in the hands of one of his employees (who i'd never seen before) and he'd already used the rattle gun. Beleive me...if I knew it was gonna be this way, i'd have stayed and made sure everything was gonna be alright...I just assumed my guy would be the one to look after my car. And I STILL think i'm sitting too low...havent gone to get the defect cleared, so we'll see...

so annoyed...

Have a look around for someone who's got 4 stud wheels to sell you their spares. S13 owners who buy these nuts should have some.

I've got 4 spare blue Ray nuts here, but they're the wrong brand, wrong colour and the wrong thread pitch. :)

I got my nuts for ~$120 delivered. :P

      Hey Kaz, Unfortunately I am not at home currently and wont be for a few more months so I do not have access to my files or CAD. And at this point I prefer to keep the files to myself as I want to potentially make a few more pairs and see if they will sell within the EU before openly marketing them. But the way it's shaped and how small it is, I don't think you can fit both an indicator and a fog light onto the same surround, unless they were very small LED-type clusters.

      Replacement clutch recommendation for an R32 GTR

      By Ryno · Posted

      I’ve just installed a Uniclutch sport into my R32. I’ve been blown away by it… it drives like a stock Toyota Corolla. It doesn’t make sense to me that a performance clutch can drive this well. I was about to pull the trigger on a Nismo Coppermix twin plate when I discovered the Uniclutch and decided to give that a shot instead. They’ve changed the game and I couldn’t be happier.    I was previously using an Extreme cushioned button clutch with lightened flywheel. I’m still using the same lightened flywheel with the Uniclutch.
