Hey Ed, I'll take a set in blue as well.

Do you have a price for shipping if we have to pay it?

BTW, for those that said they don't use a torque wrench on wheel nuts....you probably should, particularly if you are doing track days. It is *very* common to overtorque wheel nuts, and this can cause broken studs as you stretch and weaken them. Rattle guns are may be convenient but they are not a good idea.

Excellent thats 5, is the order going ahead? please confirm logistics :D

Yep that is 5.

I'll close it on fri like I said.

They will be sent via Express Post or if you are impatient, I can drop it off to you Duncan :wassup:

Product: APX Super Wheel Nuts

Price: $120AU shipped within Australia

Minimum order: 5 sets

Applications: Nissan, Subaru, Honda, Mitsubishi, Toyota, Daihatsu and Mazda

Descriptions: These come in Red, Blue and Black. Individual weight is 30gm's. APX super-light lug nuts are made from aluminum alloy that is very strong but light (less 50%-60% in weight compared with ordinary steel nuts).  Our lug nuts fit all tuner wheels of major Japanese motor models.  Each nut has engineered close-end design to prevent rusting.  External socket pattern ensures better torque without breakage.  Bulge design provides more seating surface than traditional tuner lug nuts.

These only come in sets of 20. Do not torque these over 120nm.

Hate to disallusion anyone, but if it's shear weight that's the goal and for race purposes, a standard Nissan zinc plated hex steel wheel nut only weighs 28grams.

I've compared a VERY similar nut to the standard ones and let me assure you the stock ones ARE heavier.....I think it's look more than anything I mean let be serious if it's weight loss your after then don't eat lunch before you hit the track :rofl:

yep, but these are not the standard size.

If they were standard length and open ended they would be even lighter.

Group buy is still on.

Just waiting on the manufacturer to finish the current batch before I put my order in.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
