Good news, they should be here within 2 weeks, so I'll PM off DD details sometime this week.

It's $110 + post now :)

Yeh, Great news :)

B.T.W. I just saw almost the exact same wheel nuts on NENGUN for something like $230 per set delivered to Aus. I like $110 much better :uh-huh:

ed,

Just a thought. You might want make the maximum torque value "bold" on the original post so you are less likely to get people stripping the nuts and complaining. I know many people who believe that wheel nuts are not tight unless you stand on the end of your breaker bar and socket. No Joke !!

And just for info sake, 120Nm = 88.5 lbf-ft ( foot pound ) for non-metric idiots like me.

Guys,

So sorry, I am being stuffed around by the supplier.

He is now telling me this week or next week.

I give up.

:P we all have days like that.

the question is, do you think they will make it or not?

If this falls through ed, let us know straight away. Dont keep us hanging.

If all fails we can arrange a group price from greenline. They do Rays nuts for like $150, so with 10 ppl we could get it down I imagine. I also have another possible supplier of rays nuts. same colours.

Guys,

Sorry for the slack responses from me.

Have been haggling and busting the suppliers nuts.

They have been sent via EMS so I should get them sometime this week unless he is lying about sending them out :P

DD details will be PM'd tonight.

If this is how the maker/supplier treats his customers...how do any of us know that the product we will be getting isthe quality they claim.

Im out. I want my wheels staying ON the car.

For the extra 80bucks or so to get Rays wheel nuts. At least I'll know they are tried and proven.

Phil M

ed please comment.

If we're not getting them...  I'll organise a Rays wheels nuts group buy.  Will be a maximun lead time of two weeks.

I think we "might" be best to see what ed has found out as I just had a look at the Rays wheel Nuts on Greenline and for the longer nuts ( the ones I'm after ) I calculated the cost to be 210.72 ( 17,140 Yen ) PLUS shipping etc.

I know that the Rays ones are different since they are 7 sided nuts and not 6 sided like normal / the ones we will be getting.

But after saying all that, if this group buy doesn't work out, I'm very interested in a group deal on the Rays nuts if the price is right :)

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
