Stupid noob question but as I don't have a tyre lever that fits, I was gunna buy one just in case I get a flat. The one I was supplied doesn't fit and I tried all the sockets in my socket set and they don't fit although that may be just because they are not deep enough to accomodate the length of the nut before the hex starts....

So what size are the wheel nuts on a R33??

Thx

are they standard or aftermarket? unfortunately different brand/type wheel nuts have different sized heads even though they may all have the same size thread. they come in all different size heads and lengths too. some even need their own propriety socket to undo. you are best off just measuring them with a set of vernier calipers, if you don't have a set, buy some, cheap plastic ones from bunnings etc less than $2.

You already have a socket set; so that means you've got the handle.

You only need to go down to Auto One or Repco to get a long socket that fits your handle at one end and your wheel nut at the other. Take your handle with you, because the male end will need to match up. I don't know why I'm explaining it like this... Perhaps I glanced at your Avatar.

BTW get a good quality socket, otherwise crappy stuff will break when it needs to fit down into that thin space in the crevice . Sh/t there I go again!

Thx Terry once upon a life I was a tradesman [desk jockey these days] so pretty okay with the socket issues, was just trying to avoid buying one and go out to the carpark, try it out, doesn't fit, go back exchange it blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda. Seems that's what I am up for so Repco here I come.....

I even have a set of vernier calipers......

Glad you liked the avatar lol....

Thx

Nissan standard appears to be 21mm.

And the winner is "blind elk"..... 21mm it is!! $26 for a 21mm deep reach socket plus a bar adaptor [bit with a hole in it so you can insert a peice of bar to turn the socket] from Repco!!

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
