Hi Guys,

Noticed some a noise slightly different to the normal clangs my car makes on the bumpy roads where i live and when i got to my destination checked the car and there is a wheel nut missing from my rear drivers side!!! They are 18" starcorp impuls as in my pic with locknuts.... one of the normal nuts is missing.

My question is, what sort of wheel nut do i get to replace it? Is it the same spec as factory R33, and if so whats that? Im hoping i still have the tyre change kit in the boot so i can tighten the other nuts this afternoon and that they are the same size so i can actually do it!!

Do places like autobarn, supercheap etc sell wheel nuts? Ill be calling today to ask but just after some answers if people have them. Most important what bloody wheel nuts to be asking for...

Cheers!

Yeah, size is 12 x 1.25 (I recently had to replace mine) Just make sure you find a set that are small enough in size that you can fit whatever tool you need to get them on & off (Which was my problem, the normal wheelnuts from super cheap etc where 21mm, and I can only get the 19mm socket fitting on my wheel brace to fit in my mag wheels)

I just ran some injector cleaner through her. started roughly the first time after adding it but gave it the beans slowly upto 4k, Must have cleaned a few cobwebs out. another step in the right direction for the sub

      Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in

      Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.

      Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.

      How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
