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

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • 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
