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.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
