Hi all, i'm looking for some tube nuts as my duralmin lug nuts won't fit the spare rear wheels. I was told that i need some tube nuts, prolly meaning normal lug nuts, im not too sure, was just told to find tube nuts, i just need 10, anyone has some to spare? I dont care how they look or wotever as long as they work fine. Thanx!

Cheers, Jyo.

What type rims are the spare rear wheels? by Tube nuts, they prob mean Mag nuts, and to get them you'll have to go somewhere like Keith for Wheels for a skyline or ask another company to order them in for a skyline.

Went through that with another set of rims. I doubt anybody is too keen to give them away as they aren't the cheapest items as they require a key etc...

Thanx Bunta! yeah i meant wheel nuts, my duralmin lug nuts cant fit thru the hole of the spare mags cuz the hole is too narrow, i think it needs nuts with less than 20mm diameter or something, and the wheel nuts need to be long enough to come out far enough so that i can tighten them, cuz the 19mm or 21mm socket definitely cant fit into the hole. The holes for the wheel nuts have a rough inner diameter of 21.5mm.

Really? well i was charged 2.50 fer each nut and then 5 bucks fer the key, so 30 all up fer 10nuts. Thought i could have gotten nuts fer like 1-2bucks each.

I just had to pay $5 a nut for ones to fit my Sparcos. And i could only get 17. The guy couldn't get any more of these kind from overseas anymore either, as they dont make the wheels that they suit any more. Also had to spend another $20 on the stupid hex thing (was Kingcrome though)

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
