Anyone out there managed to find lock nuts for Volk GTC wheels? I'm having lots of trouble finding a set. I've checked with the usual sponsors and have scanned ebay etc for days with no luck. Surely people out there with GTC's have lock nuts!!??

I use McGard lock nut and would recommand them. I got the splinedrive nut + lock nut as they both require the special "key" to undo them. They are available on eBay.

Locknut

Not sure if they will fit the volk, but here is a thread that seems to confirm they will

The only down side is that its better you tighten those by hand since the lock nut will strip (the key part) if rattle gun is being used constantly.

Obtained a whole set of RAYS nuts in a set from Just Jap = 4 lock nuts (& socket) with 16 matching wheel nuts. 'Derrr

Because of its compound (& very light weight), you just need to not exceed 108Nm on torque wrench. Never use a ratchet gun on them either (no matter what setting). This is good to keep in mind should you lay your hands on a used set.

Thanks Terry - I'm trying to avoid the need to buy a set of 20 nuts just for the 4 lock nuts I require - but if I have no luck sourcing the lock nuts on their own, I might need to look at buying the complete set...

      Is r33 gtr steering wheel the same as the gtst?

      By PotatoCake · Posted

      The steering wheel on my 97 s3 gtr is a little bit worn out, so im on the hunt for something mint. I notice that this type of steering wheel is on several other nissan's of the era.  Does anyone know if their all identical, or are there slight differences? I feel like gtr tax applies to anyone selling one, but if it comes from any other car the price is much less, even though its the same design.  Chat gpt says the material for the gtr is slightly different and it says gtr on the wheel, but every pic ive seen it just says nissan.

      Ahh... it's an early RE5R01A box, that means the pinouts I gave are wrong (they were for the RE4R01A 4-speed box)... I'll have to dig around in my docs to see if I've got that schematic (they used the same gearbox plug, with the vacant pin wired to the direct drive clutch solenoid)...prolly hidden away in a supplement somewhere... ...there were 3 variants of the RE5R01A ~ this early schema was what we called the 'dumb' 5 speed ; it's what jatco called a 'medium duty' box, with torque holding up roughly ~200ft/lbs or so, which was good for NA from RB20/25DE and up to around VG30 output spec. With the RB25DET (and VG33/35 mills), the only options they had was the 4-speed 4AX00 box, which had been beefed up to handle the extra torque (primarily for the VG35, but it also suited the RB25DET mill and others)...and the RE4R03 box in large 4WDs a lot of the time... ...the next variant of 5-speed was redesigned, stronger, and 'smart'...first ones had external TCU with internal (on valvebody) Shift Control Unit, pressure switches, and 2 x TSS...and the last ones had internal TCU+SCU setup, with CANbus control etc etc. @DRoc81 On the RHS of the box towards the rear, there should be a stamped silver ID tag -- what's the model number? Oh...and with the early 5-speeds, the torque converter control solenoid assembly should be replaced as well (31940-60X00)...it's a bit Murphy's Law ....if one has failed, bet on the rest not being far behind ...
