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

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
