Hey guys I just bought a set of RAYS Dura Nuts off eBay as I noticed they now come in a 'Gun Metallic' colour (in addition to the red, blue and black available previously), short type, and thread pitch to suit Skylines. I think the colour's been out for almost a year now but I hadn't seen any around, so I snapped them up quickly. There are still more sets available I think.

Sorry for the late replies...

beautiful RE30's. post more pics please. how much did you end up getting the nuts for?

Thanks Basti. Here are a few more pics. Got the nuts off ebay for $210 + shipping; I think most import retailers will be selling them for around $240. Which works out to about $12 per nut... not cheap :)

Lol they are on my stock 32 gt-r rims ;) .

That would still look awesome!

How many mm "wide" is the nut?

since my rims has kind of small holes

and those nuts looks great ;)

Thanks Erick. The RE30s also have fairly small apertures for the nuts (as you can probably see above). I need to carry around a socket + wrench that will fit the nuts as a regular wheel wrench / brace will not fit. This socket is a 3/4" imperial size. The nut dimension should actually be 19mm I believe, but because there is excess slack, it can cause markings on the nuts (not supposed to impact the strength of the nut but it looks a bit ugly). Hence a 3/4" is 19.05mm and is a slightly more snug fit.

I carry a torque wrench around in the car as well, as the nuts should be torqued to between 88 and 118Nm (shown on the back of the packet).

    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
    • yeah, there's a country that recently started importing Skylines, I blame them.
