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 all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
