hey guys,

i recently got my car back from a mate who was keeping it for me, and while in his care was bored and wanted to try some different wheels on so i get the call and says hes farrked up the threads on atleast 3 studs on one of the wheels, and possibly the studs on the other wheels is farkedd too, hes a goose and doesnt know much...grr.....

so what would be the best option from here? how do i go about getting it all fixed up?

thanks guys

edit/ does anyone know where to get wheels studs for a 34 from?

You can do them yourself relatively easily if you've got some materials. Even if you dont do them yourself, i'll post this up for future reference..

1. Rotate the hub around so the stud can slide out the back of the hub (There is a cut out where it allows the stud to come all the way out)

2. Hammer the front of the stud, and eventually it will pop out the back of the hub.

3. Insert your new stud, grease up all surfaces

4. Place a large nut onto the front of the stud.

5. Tighten a wheel nut onto the stud. As you tighten it will push against the large nut and pull the stud into the hub. Tighten it all the way up until the stud is fully inserted (you will definitely feel when its all the way in).

Note: You will probably bugger up a wheel nut doing this, so make sure you've got a spare!

Have you tried Lincorp Nissan to get the studs? If not, I got some from UAS (seven hills). They may have R34 studs.

Good stuff Jon,

You should post that in the DIY section of SAU :D

However....

3. Insert your new stud, grease up all surfaces

    • I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.
    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
    • Oh man, sorry, $60.00000000... 😛
    • That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.
    • February update 🙂 We managed to get the very last 1/18th "Extra Scale" cars stock available from bookstores in Kyoto. These are actually the last ones and will not be restocked again! Hachette Collections Japan have not decided on a release date for these or other models in the series, so for the time being these are all there are available new.  These are showing up on Yahoo auctions at inflated prices already (especially the Celica and NSX) so get yours now at a very reasonable price before they disappear!
