Hello helpful people of SAU,

Does anyone know the correct torque for the lug nuts on the M35? The wheels on it are aftermarket 18”, not sure if that makes any difference?

Sorry for the noob question just about to set out on a long road trip in the stag and after losing a wheel on the last road trip I wanna be sure everything is perfect this time (provided no one tries to steal the wheels this time around haha).

Any help/pre road trip tips would be greatly appreciated,

:)

I run aluminium nuts on my Riceline, so I give them 90-100 Nm, but I think steel nuts should be good for 100-110 Nm.

sorry this is the stagea section mate not skylines.....oh wait hahaahahhaha im kidding mate!

I have the rays duralumin nuts and theyre the shittest, theyre like cheese. The locking nut tool strips the nut.....not good considering price. TBH its basically for the brand/wank factor and serve no purpose!

My experience with RAYS nuts has been different.

I got my RAYS nuts with the wheels I currently have second hand around April 2008 and the only issue I have had with them is apprentice mechanics cross threading them or using the wrong size socket on the rattle gun. Otherwise, since equipping them they have gone through many track days and wheel changes without issue!

I agree that they are for wank factor though... But the blue nuts on silver/blue wheels looks nice :P

I would consider kics nuts next but at $200 roughly....hell to the no. I spent $50 and bought GKtech ones to replace the rays. I hope rays wheels are better than their nuts.

And alex im not a hardparker as much atm maybe when i get the car presentable. We all know you like a good hard......

...park.

What is wrong with the stock nuts? You going for weight saving? Better off taking a dump in that case. :P

I got them because because the stock nuts do fit down the holes in the wheels i had and the wheels i have now but i coulnt get a socket narrow enough to do them up let alone to undo them.

I bought a set of black anodised, splined steel nuts through Taleb Tyres on the forum for $40; they are a deep nut.

I ran tap down a couple of them, as they felt a bit gritty going on, but since then they've been great.

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
