Hey guys I just bought a set of RAYS Dura Nuts off eBay as I noticed they now come in a 'Gun Metallic' colour (in addition to the red, blue and black available previously), short type, and thread pitch to suit Skylines. I think the colour's been out for almost a year now but I hadn't seen any around, so I snapped them up quickly. There are still more sets available I think.

Sorry for the late replies...

beautiful RE30's. post more pics please. how much did you end up getting the nuts for?

Thanks Basti. Here are a few more pics. Got the nuts off ebay for $210 + shipping; I think most import retailers will be selling them for around $240. Which works out to about $12 per nut... not cheap :)

Lol they are on my stock 32 gt-r rims ;) .

That would still look awesome!

How many mm "wide" is the nut?

since my rims has kind of small holes

and those nuts looks great ;)

Thanks Erick. The RE30s also have fairly small apertures for the nuts (as you can probably see above). I need to carry around a socket + wrench that will fit the nuts as a regular wheel wrench / brace will not fit. This socket is a 3/4" imperial size. The nut dimension should actually be 19mm I believe, but because there is excess slack, it can cause markings on the nuts (not supposed to impact the strength of the nut but it looks a bit ugly). Hence a 3/4" is 19.05mm and is a slightly more snug fit.

I carry a torque wrench around in the car as well, as the nuts should be torqued to between 88 and 118Nm (shown on the back of the packet).

      r34's love to squeal

      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.

      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?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
