As stated in topic description...can single work wheels nuts be purchased somewhere? if so, anyone know where? or can they be re-threaded somehow? My cousin f**ked one up trying to put it back on my car while "HELPING" me put one of my wheels back on while I was on the other side putting the other on...

...pfft..."some" help indeed.

i dont particularly wanna have to buy a whole set for another 200 bucks or so, just so i can use ONE.

Thanks in advance

Justin

if not.. give ur cousin some work's wheel nuts for xmas

get a $2 can of spray paint and paint them. 2 or so coats of sealer.. and just be careful when you take the bolt out to not chip the paint

that's a bit hard...already used a rattle gun on the work nuts and even the work nuts have started chipping... :D oh well...

go buy yourself a torque wrench and have it set to about 100nm and then you will be fine for next time

and yeh liek Hamish said, you used a rattle gun on $200 wheels nuts????

*sigh* PLEEEEEEEASE...don't get me started...i'm pissed off enough as it is...

bah...i'll explain...

got defected...too low...so removed exhaust to gain clearance but still too low...jacked up car to adjust coilovers, but had an extremely hard time doing so...and coz I was extremely sick (and still am) I just couldnt muster the strength to keep trying.

...so called my suspension place...explained to my suspension guy (manager) what was goin on...he told me to bring it in and he'd fix it up.

took it to my guy who took the car in and I went for a walk to get something to eat. I came back and the manager had gone home apparently soon after I left and left my car in the hands of one of his employees (who i'd never seen before) and he'd already used the rattle gun. Beleive me...if I knew it was gonna be this way, i'd have stayed and made sure everything was gonna be alright...I just assumed my guy would be the one to look after my car. And I STILL think i'm sitting too low...havent gone to get the defect cleared, so we'll see...

so annoyed...

Have a look around for someone who's got 4 stud wheels to sell you their spares. S13 owners who buy these nuts should have some.

I've got 4 spare blue Ray nuts here, but they're the wrong brand, wrong colour and the wrong thread pitch. :)

I got my nuts for ~$120 delivered. :P

yeah for sure kkr are fine, I think everyone just believes in buying things with a brand name on them... its just a wheel nut guys... I don't see how works nuts out perform the others that have the same finish...

    • Solid update, got all the downforces now.  You going to be running aus time attack again? love the jacking solution, spend the dollars on what makes it go fast is best way.
    • Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/  
    • The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.
    • As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers. 
    • Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
