mate,

Japanese goodies on your car are a nice treat.

i've had plenty of different wheel nuts and to this day nothing beats my Work Wheel nuts. Cheap ones of eBay, yeah they look good this week, but the colour fades on them, ive seen them even break because they are a light cheap aluminum.

In regards to using lightweight aluminum wheels nuts i would only look at the good brands. And good Wheel nuts with locks are a lot less common for people to have the Lock socket unlike the cheapies.

Sorry its just my 2 cents, as by the time you buy 3 sets its the same price as a Jap brand

this is where i bought mine, i dunno if id use them on the track but i have been driving around on them for the last few months and i think they are fine!

worth checking them out i rkn.

IMHO & it's all so subjective, but on black wheels and black car,....

1) Black is safe but stealth

2) Red is a powerful colour to match black but the RAYS ones can tend to fade into pink in the sun

3) Blue is also showy and girls luv it

4) Titanium is sophisticated

Love your explanation - actually makes a lot of sense. I never had Ray ones but heard that fade heaps.

Are those Nismo nuts and valve caps or did you put Nismo stickers on them. Never knew Nismo made wheel nuts. Love them!!

Has anyone had D1 Spec Jap wheel nuts? I am thinking of getting a set of blue ones. What you guys think? Any experience?

Taleb tyres, who are a site sponsor sell some very cheap ones

Obviously not the quality of the nismo/rays items but look good and are very easy on the wallet at $30 a set

    • Hi, wondering if the HKS bar and water reservoir still available? Thanks 
    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not
