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.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
