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).

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Appreciate the feedback. It is street car, but not a daily. Last week I got a quote from a good exhaust shop for a decat, one which is bolt-on, bolt-off to be easily replaceable. I got quoted for around €150. I usually do push the motor, but I wasn't in this case to make sure that no damage is done until I get the cat sorted. I think it's best to also ask the exhaust shop for the other option and see what they can do. If (big if) I were to decat though, would it be best to tune the car or would the stock ECU handle it? As far as I know, the stock ECU is not tunable and that would require additional purchases.

      As above, definitely bash it or get it replaced with a high flow unit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
