Anyone out there managed to find lock nuts for Volk GTC wheels? I'm having lots of trouble finding a set. I've checked with the usual sponsors and have scanned ebay etc for days with no luck. Surely people out there with GTC's have lock nuts!!??

I use McGard lock nut and would recommand them. I got the splinedrive nut + lock nut as they both require the special "key" to undo them. They are available on eBay.

Locknut

Not sure if they will fit the volk, but here is a thread that seems to confirm they will

The only down side is that its better you tighten those by hand since the lock nut will strip (the key part) if rattle gun is being used constantly.

Obtained a whole set of RAYS nuts in a set from Just Jap = 4 lock nuts (& socket) with 16 matching wheel nuts. 'Derrr

Because of its compound (& very light weight), you just need to not exceed 108Nm on torque wrench. Never use a ratchet gun on them either (no matter what setting). This is good to keep in mind should you lay your hands on a used set.

Thanks Terry - I'm trying to avoid the need to buy a set of 20 nuts just for the 4 lock nuts I require - but if I have no luck sourcing the lock nuts on their own, I might need to look at buying the complete set...

      Original window sticker?

      By Celticsfan03 · Posted

      Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
