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

i would try ask a supplier and ask.. if not try get in touch with the manufacturer and see if you can't get a hold of a rep or something.. say that they are for "show" use and ur wanting to keep it all "work" related rims.. might prick their ears up and maybe.. just maybe you could get a response

if not.. give ur cousin some work's wheel nuts for xmas

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

yeah for sure kkr are fine, I think everyone just believes in buying things with a brand name on them... its just a wheel nut guys... I don't see how works nuts out perform the others that have the same finish...

    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
