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)

      R34 Diff oil

      By Duncan · Posted

      Only thing I'd add...is on recommendation from a good diff shop, I've used mineral oil in my diff including the race car for years. The synthetics can be too slippery and glaze the gears

      75W90 GL5 is fine. If you aren't sure about the type get one with LSD additive.

      Short shifter r34

      Because you're effectively rushing the shift and forcing it to go in - with greater leverage against parts that don't _want_ to go together. Short shift = forcing the gear in harder. Also Redline Heavy Shockproof actively says not to use it in anything with Synchros. Well, it says "not recommended" which is basically as far as anyone will ever say in a product statement to "Do not use" Generally the Redline makes the gearbox feel great... until it fails faster. https://www.redlineoil.com/heavy-shockproof

      99.9% of them are viscous diffs. The 0.01% are helicals. They were only option-able in the series 2, as well. I have redline heavy shockproof in my helical. It seems... fine? I don't think anyone is ever going to know until something really breaks and at that point I'm not sure anyone will blame the oil. I just chose it because it's extremely heavy duty and my car will see not-road-legal duty for it. I've also had sadness with various diff oils in the past sweating out everywhere and/or other 'fun' things, with clutch diffs. Given you have a 1.5 way on the shelf, I'd not even bother with the diff in the car and just get to tinkering with it. I would spend the $90 on oil toward the labor of someone else putting the diff in if time poor even lol.

      R34 Diff oil

      By drifter17a · Posted

      I believe mine is helical and not clutch type. During drifting one wheel was spining as if it was open diff so bought kazz 1.5 way and has sat on my shelf for the past 5 years as I want to learn shiming process and do it myself   in meantime thought I change the diff oil hence post here. So any 75-90?   i am pretty sure r34 are helical not clutch lsd as standard . That is gtt ones
