nah dont think pics will help. they're either too short, or their too short!

only other thing i can think of is to check the type of lug nuts required. there are three different base types - flat, angled, and acorn. different wheels, esp aftermarket, have different requirements - so if for example you have flat based nuts currently, and the wheel requires angled nuts, they won't be seating properly and create the situation that the studs are too short.

google for more info, but it should be self explanatory.

just grab some from spare parts shop they are always better then the standard ones anyway.. standard ones especially on newer model cars tend to strip thread from time to time.. aftermarket ones are generally high tensile.. there not expensive either.. (few bucks each but i guess thats $60 all round you dont really want to be spending)

but as smokeyc34 posted the only real prob you can have is them being too short and without having spacers that could be pretty short if you rims arent fitting.

and if you need tapered nuts and your using flats or vice versa...

depending on how many hands the car has ben thought ive seen peple fit shorter studs to clear inside bolt on spacers or they grind then shorter and clean up the thread. pain in the ass when they come in for the right offset wheels and we have to fit all new studs in the rear or in the case of early falcons all 20.

Well it looks like I'm going to need 20 longer studs.

Nismo ones are $12 each, but I need to make sure I can get the right ones.

I may have to pull out one of the existing ones, and measure it up.

All I wanted was some bigger nicer wheels on the Battle Wagon, but no, it has to be a big f**k around!

I'll get there...eventually :)

      Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.

      gauge needle removal

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.

      R34 Speedo not working after manual swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder

      Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
