its not good to be driving on only one

it can take all the other studs past their yeild point and stretch them irreversibly

you will have to go to bursons or the like, ask for r33 gtst/gtr studs as they will not have heard of a stagea

your better off knocking one out and taking it in, there are a few different styles/sizes of stud where they fit into the hub, then you know your getting the right one. i picked up a heap for my 32 from repco, only a couple dollars each. just got to make sure you get the right length, tread size & pitch, and hub fitment.

good idea, takes 30 mins max and most places triple the price as soon as the word import is involved

oh thats easy, that means i can just quickly replace it. oh and for the reckord, im driving with 4 studs bolted and one stud unbolted. lol so not the other way around, i aint that stoopid :ninja:

thx for the answers.

and please, for the love of all that is good and holy, DONT replace one stud. As previously mentioned, the other 4 WILL stretch so its much safer (and easier in the long run) to replace all of the studs in the hub affected.

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
