Hey guys yesterday decided to try a different set of wheels on the evo. I started to undo the nuts to get the wheel off when i noticed that it was alot more difficult to get them off.

I took just the one nut off and noticed that the tread in the nut and on the rear hub have been screwed with a little. Looks like someone tried to put nuts that dont belong to the car on it at one stage in its life.

Luckily it looks like they relised after just the one wheel so its only the rear left that has the problem.

Its a pain in the ass taking wheel on and off the way it is so i just wanted to see what my options where. Is the best bed to just buy a replacement hub assembly??

THanks guys..

Ross

i used ot have an evo, by the sounds of it best bet to replace the assembly.

May be costly cause wont be easy to find so might have to buy it new imported.

but u wont have the same ssue again provided the right nuts are used.

No definitely no need for that. You are able to replace the individual wheel studs, just go to a suspension place and they can do it for you.

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.

      Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
