School me on extended lugs for my Skyline. The fronts are easy to come by, but I am hearing mixed things about the rears. Can you guys confirm or deny:

- The rear studs are a different spline than the fronts.

- My car shares studs with the 300zx.

- What is the stock lug shank length?

- How thick of a spacer can I safely run with the stock lugs?

I am working on fun summer wheel options and the wheels I am keen on will require a 10-12mm spacer.

Any help is appreciated, thanks all.

Whether or not you need extended studs will depend on your wheel type. My Stagea has different front and rear splines.If you are using aftermarket wheels you may need hub centric adapters as well. When buying studs (if required) the advertiser should be able to tell you what they fit. 10mm spacers should be  hub centric like this (you will also find extended studs on this site):

I'm looking at BBS LMs currently. I have the hub-centric stuff handled (I work in the VW world and we deal with that as well). So far, the stud sellers are able to indicate how much longer than stock (i.e.- 10mm, 20mm, etc).

and, if you look at the site I sent you, the diameter. If you don't know what size your studs are email GK Tech and ask. On my Stagea the rears are bigger than the fronts.

Just looked over their site, they have a handy chart in each lug listing and have options for the front and the rear. Thank you for that link!

      What accelerator cable can be used with greddy plenum

      By Duncan · Posted

      I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...

      HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
