You will find that some wheels just do not allow for normal nuts, Jose. Well in my case you couldn't fit a normal wheel nut as there almost no gap for the brace to go on. Hence why I changed to the Key hole nut system. Bought them for $40 for all 4 wheels with lock nuts. Have not had a problem with them ever.

i bought some WORK billet nuts, they were expensive. but with the Nismo rim's i've got they're the only ones that fit in the small holes.

i also use a thin wall impact socket, and i even have to take off the plastic outside to fit the socket in the hole.

the ones that came with the rims were in pretty bad condition, almost rounded off so i was due for some new ones.

around 60hrs in the withdrawal atm. feel pretty sketchy, anxious etc. too uncomfortable to sleep :/

got to go through it & just get past the next few weeks

once Im out the other side & past the addiction Im going to commit myself to actually being something

radiologist is the long term goal; have to dedicate myself to study. I know I can do it so its a matter of one step at a time.

yep suck it if u go to a organised event with a bunch of ferrals and dont expect to cop a sticker for ya fully sick vp dumped on its ass ,blind freddy could see that this was going to happen :domokun:

like it or not stereotyping is a fact of life and commodore owners just cop it .............didnt say holden owners cause thats not true ..............gazzanats cruise was on last sat night didnt see any defects there. and who wouldnt of worked out that last year they got bent over so what woud be different this year???? forget already?

iam a +1 for any charity work good on em but if u really thought that it was just gunna be a peacefull cruise u got to be kidding ,i mean i dont think they gave the cops enough credit all those potential defects in one place ud be dumb not to, talk about job done for ya pinch.gif

I was referring to pepsinators pics of cars after your comments - Scarlett naked is far more important thatn pics of cars ... :wub:

Edit: okay, I'm confused - got an email saying heslo said the pics were legit ... Was responding to that ... But doesnt seem to be here ...

heslo has just posted a reply to a topic that you have subscribed to titled "The Wasteland 2011 Edition".

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
