hey folks,

i think someone may have taken my wheel nuts, after parking my car at north boondall station during the day yesterday, i drove about 2km and with only 2 still on the rear right in the space of about 300m after i detected the sound i moved the mirror down and seriously almost crapped myself when i saw my wheel (*edit: my entire rim) pretty much flap outwards, lurching the car sideways while i was going about 50. of course i stopped and jumped out, called some generous friends and a towie.

turns out the bolts are actually sheared from the base outwards so theres nothing to screw a nut to.

can anyone give advice on the cost of the part or give me advice?

ah this was like 4 years ago... and only had to replace one (as i snapped it off)

but back then it was like $10 for the new stud and bolt and $10 for the labour

or something along those lines..

you get different sizes though (length and width) so if you do it yourself just make sure you get the right ones

(maybe take one of the old ones out and take it with you)

Take what's left of the stud down to repco (QWK32 has the right dimensions though) and get them to size up the correct one (Correct spline etc, they should have it listed in their book). They were about $4 each when I had to replace them.

You can do it yourself, on my R34 (and I imagine earlier models are similar) you just have to rotate the hub (need to take the brake gear off obviously) until the stud lines up with a hole in the brake dust cover and then wack it out and stick the new one in. Bolting the wheel up pulls the stud into the spline completely.

thanks guys all fixed, im just looking for a couple of stocko rims now, i think my current rim may be unballanced

Hi Jimmy

I have 2 stock rim that you can have for $80, I am based in the City or Chandler. Regards Taylor 0408188777

Cheers

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
