Where to get genuine Nismo ones?

I have the same setup as Terry on my Nismo LMG3's except I run the longer Nismo lug nuts. I got mine through Nissan Race Shop in the US because at the time the Australian dollar was really strong and they had them on sale so it worked out cheaper then anywhere I could find in the Japan but as you know the dollar is weaker these days (still half decent) so it might pay to check RHDjapan or Nengun first. Currently on the Nissan Race Shop website the Nismo long lug nuts go for around $150USD and the shorter ones $145USD with the valve stem caps being $35USD. Hope that helps

[edit]In regards to the Nismo lug nuts I also did see somewhere not to use a rattle gun on them. I refuse to and whenever I take my car to a shop where the tires have to come off I inform them as well and so far they have been good and not used a rattle gun on them.

Bump for this thread. Ive had cheap wheel nuts for quite a few days but now they are not holding up to track days.

What would ppl recommend for track days ? I want strength and reliable

What's the best option for a track only car? Can the genuine Rays nuts strip when using a rattle gun as well?

Best option is to not use aluminium nuts or a rattle gun without a torque bar.

You can find steel nuts, my recommendation is avoid the open ended ones.  Water will pool in them followed by lovely orange streaks of rust.  I got some ARK design ones ages ago.  They are longer (50mm) to suit the longer Nismo studs.  Cant remember from where maybe ebay maybe direct.

These are good, only problem is that the paint flakes off extremely easily on them.

I have no experience with them, just saw them whilst i was browsing one day

i dont use alloy/alu nuts because ive had multiple sets destroyed... when I learned my lesson and they were still getting damaged it was the different workshops who worked on the cars. Both my cars run Nismo steel nuts, havent had any problems with them. Bit of copper grease and theyve been good for years.

As far as coloured ones, im not sure, sorry.

326 Power lugs are super sweet.

Aluminum though so can be stripped if your not careful.

caps are interchangeable and come different styles and even spikes if your into that kinda thing.

    • 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  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
