Hi guys,

I've got Nismo wheel nuts on my GT-R - if you haven't seen them, they're actually 7-sided like Rays wheel nuts, and obviously require a special adaptor to get them off. Normally I'd chisel through them and just get a new set, but the Nismo ones are worth a crapload of money and all 20 nuts are the 7-sided ones, not just one on each wheel.

Has anyone got an adaptor I can borrow for a day? I need to put my new tyres on! Otherwise I may actually have to buy another full set so I can get the adaptor, which seems a tad silly :S

is there no adapters being sold on yahoo auctions :P well if you get another set Growly custom maching might be able to replicate the adapter so you will be able to sell the new lock nuts with a new adapter

I'm good mates with Matt - that's why I only need someone else's for a day or two, so he can copy it for me :D

If the nut is similar to the Volk GT-C's, you can buy the hex extension from any tool shop.

The Wheelworx guys are on the hunt for one at the moment, there were a few different versions apparently.

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
