hey guys,

just bought some rims and they need the hex key type wheel nuts, with the internal hex... just wondering where would have em... dont really want to have to order them through a tyre shop etc as they generally have trouble with stuff like that.

would autobarn or repco etc have them??

doesnt need to be "special racing nuts"

cheers

Linton,

Is this for wheel nuts that smaller in diameter than the stock ones?

I have a set of wheels I bought off ebay for $51 (BARGIN!!!) and the stocko wheel nuts are too big in dieter to fit in the hole of the rim where the nuts go.

yep... cant even fit a thin wall 19mm socket in the holes of these rims... the nuts fit... but you cant get a socket on them. so its gotta be allen key types... found em at auto barn, none at repco, supercheap or tyre joint.

what rims did you get for $50?? thats sweet

their pig ugly. Dont get me wrong!.. but nothing a can of Matte Black wont fix. Their fairly heavy too. Some dodgey twin 5 spoke wheels.

Here comes the kicker.. WITH DECENT TYRES!

Just a set of drifties..

thanks for the advice!

Ill swing past supershit and Repco etc and have a look soon.. Thanks Linton!

depends if you like chrome nuts or not... all the usuals are chrome plated...

I have a full set minus one spare which are a nice shop bought black set, $120 from some common aussie brand wheel brand (can't remember name three letters???) and also got a cheaper aluminium set from Ministry of Bass for like $60 except the black is not as hardy... as long as you always use proper torque when tightening them they are fine, over tighten alloy nuts and they will break...

lesson: don't let average tyre shops play with your nuts...

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure

      Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By oHBoy. · Posted

      Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
