Any anyone installed longer wheel studs on their R35? I used some cheapish wheel nuts which have farked up a couple of studs. I might install some stocker ones again, but thought i might think about some stonger/longer ones.

Anyone?

Also after some quality elongated wheel nuts, any recommendations?

Cheers :cool:

thanks for the links, much appreciated.

I have sent off an email to those people. I only need the longer studs (not for use with the stocker wheels). See what they say.

Plus i need them rather urgently, got the final round of the state sprints next week, so probably cannot wait for something to arrive form the USA. :(

Duncan, off topic but are you running one of these new Cobb Maps that everyone is talking about? If so hows it going and did you get it from Willall?

I sure am! And sure did. Only got one session with the tune in though, unfortunately i had other issues (stripped wheel studs!) when swapping wheels out.. so i had to cut it short today unfortunately. What i did experience was impressive though, more linear power application. And Jesus the top end is insane, i was literally overshooting turn 1 at Oran Park South (several times). I'll have a write up when i can get some more track time in, end of next week.

Thanks mate, i'll be talking to Croydons ASAP. Let us know how it goes when you fix those wheel studs.

The only wheel studs I ever run on my cars are either german made genuine Porsche studs, or genuine ARP studs from an authorised ARP supplier ...

Here are links to the wheel studs section of the ARP catalog at http://www.arp-bolts.com/Catalog/Catalog.html ...

Rocket Industries seems to sell ARP wheel studs in Australia ...

Also after some quality elongated wheel nuts ...

Project Mu make a set of nuts called the Project Mu Racing Floating Nut.

It features a 'floating' collar which can rotate on the nut meaning improved contact with the wheel and more consistency when setting nut torque.

They are made of Chromium-molybdenium steel/SCM435, Aluminum cap.

More info on them here ...

Quick question: has anyone changed wheel studs on an R35? How did you do it? It looks like the hub itself needs to come off. Interested in info from people who have done it. Did you need a puller to get the hub off? cheers.

To answer my own question, and with help from NAGTROG member Neoseven, yes you DO have to remove the wheel hub to get new wheel studs in (done fronts tonight). I have taken a bunch of pics and plan to do a writeup showing how it's all done for anyone is interested. FWIW, i think it's possible to replace the stocker sized studs without removing the hub, however to install elongated studs the hub just have to come off. There are a few little tricks to it, and shortcuts which i will put in the writeup.

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
