Internal Drive Wheel Nuts

I'm chasing some internal drive wheel nuts that will fit Volk GT-c wheels.

My searches on the interwebs and ebay are not proving to be very fruitful.

I even stopped into bob jane this afternoon - They had them but were just the plain old silver/chrome, non lightweight and wanted $75 for 20.

I thought for that price I might be able to get something nicer anodized ones or something.

Anyone know where i can pick these up?

BTW... I'm not really interested in paying $280 odd dollars for genuine rays or anything.

Cheers

Just be cautious of them.

If you over tighten them you will strip the nut. They area soft alloy.

Also if you take your wheels off regularly re think buying these.

As the alloy is soft and everytime you tighten them up your stretching the thread in the nut.

( I used to work for a wheel and tyre store. Have seen what happens to these nuts on a regular basis.)

^^^ Good advice.

Torque wrench is a good tool to have.

soft metal FTL. I wouldn't want to get a nut crossthreaded or stripped. they are holding your wheels on, you know :banana:

i bought supercheap locknuts and the material is so soft that I almost rounded the tool the first time I used it. very poor quality it doesn't engage far and the metal is soft. i always cringed when i used them after that. got proper ones now.

i reckon one bash with a chisel/hammer and they would have split in two.

if you over tighten I would be more worried about actually just splitting the whole nut, been there done that... then you need to drill out the stud to get it off...

Ive had no troubles at all since I got a decent torque wrench to use on them...

I got these kind of wheel nuts too. I was looking for lock nuts and a key. At first I asked Wheel Revolution they said $120, so then I tried On The Run Motorsports in Vic. I ordered the set from them and got it for $80.

I suggest trying On The Run Motorsports, it may take a while 1 month or 2.

FYI you can also use a regular 17mm nut or most generic lock nuts on these types of wheels.

You will need to use a single hex deep socket to use that type of nut, such would also be available in an alloy nut.

Also, dont forget alloy nuts have a limited life span.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
