its not good to be driving on only one

it can take all the other studs past their yeild point and stretch them irreversibly

you will have to go to bursons or the like, ask for r33 gtst/gtr studs as they will not have heard of a stagea

your better off knocking one out and taking it in, there are a few different styles/sizes of stud where they fit into the hub, then you know your getting the right one. i picked up a heap for my 32 from repco, only a couple dollars each. just got to make sure you get the right length, tread size & pitch, and hub fitment.

good idea, takes 30 mins max and most places triple the price as soon as the word import is involved

oh thats easy, that means i can just quickly replace it. oh and for the reckord, im driving with 4 studs bolted and one stud unbolted. lol so not the other way around, i aint that stoopid :ninja:

thx for the answers.

and please, for the love of all that is good and holy, DONT replace one stud. As previously mentioned, the other 4 WILL stretch so its much safer (and easier in the long run) to replace all of the studs in the hub affected.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
