My wheels are currently attached using volk gtc lock nuts however I dont have the lock key to remove them and I need to get new tyres. Is there anywhere in brisbane area that can sell a replacment lock nut or anyone know of any wheel shop prefferable south side that would have the tool and be able to replace the tyres withouth damaging the lock nuts and wheels?

umm you can't change your tyre if you get a flat?

my suggestion....get a set of metric an imperial impact sockets. bash the ones that just fit on hard, then undo it. throw the lock nut in the bin and repeat 19 times. put normal wheel nuts on, or locknuts you have a key for.

or just throw your spare tyre and jack out. no point lugging it around.

Yeah i know it is pretty dodgy I have got in contact with the old owner so hopefully he can find the key and send to me. I dont really wont to destroy the lock nuts but it is my last resort.

Duncan,

Straight up, GTC wheel nuts are different and "normal" ones don't fit. So he would have to spend $100-200 in purchasing another set with or without a lock nut.

:)

Try finding someone with one. As you are.

      After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
