Sorry its more of a blog, that i made for my site.

It all started when they tried to take the rims off. I knew I should have waited to get afermarket rims from Japan instead of going cheapo. Well anyways the Tyre shop snapped one wheel stud trying to get it off, I would have done the same thing if i tried to take it off myself, so I just have to put on a smile and curse myself on the inside. I have had it happen when I first purchased the Rims, but I wont be going back there to do business.

Snapped stud in lug nut , snapped studs and rounded stud.

Well I ended up fixing this myself, This is my first time so it was quite simple really but I had to change three studs and took me a whole day, but i got side tracked. However if you focus on the task - it should take only 2 hrs max. I snapped another stud trying to take it off.

Take off your tyres, then your rear brake, then the disk. The disk might be stuck, but you just have to give it a good hit to losen it. Make sure that you have the car on a level surface as the hand brakes need to be off or else you wont be able to take the brakes off :-). So I chocked the front two wheels with bricks to stop it from moving.

Because you have to rotate the wheels to line up with the gap so that you can remove the broken studs. Hence both rear wheels need to be jacked up, so I ended getting another jack on the other side. It is also easier to turn the other tyre to line up the gaps.

Once you have lined the stud up with the gap behind you can hit it, so that it pops out, you may need a bit of force. Putting the studs in, you have to use this gap to get the new studs in also.

You can get the parts from any spare parts shop. I got mine from

Mekong Auto Spares 02 9724 0691

Canley Vale - Motor Replacement Parts

Part number NS457 - Price $4 each stud. I can confirm that these fit on the rears of my R33 S1 GTsT.

To install the wheel studs, line it up in the gap and use some washers and then tighten it up. Make sure that you have lined it up straight or else it wont fit, it doesnt hurt to put some grease and WD40. Then just tighten the nut untill it pulls the stud into place. ( Drop the other rear wheel so that it has traction, making it easier to tighten )

Once all studs and back in, just put your disk, brakes and tyres back on. Just a tip that I got - putting a bit of grease on the studs stops the studs from flaking and helps stop the nuts from seizing up.

REMOVING THE DISC

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...amp;hl=rear+hub

other things i found helpful for this job

i didnt have any washers big enough for the job so i used a ring nut end of my spanner to space it out to do up my bolts so they were in firm then put the disc and wheel back on tighted it all up with a wheel brace .

just keep goin till you feel it go tight then take your wheel and disc to check they are up tight

dont drop you bolt in the bottom of the drum its a pain to get out :)

    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
    • Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
