Martin what are your nuts made of?

If they're too soft (like cheap alloy ones) then they love to mangle themselves and fk up the thread of the stud.

I'd almost rather have a mangled stud than a mangled nut, since its easy to pop into a shop and pick up a single stud than it is to pick up a single MATCHING nut

Edit: Actually quite enjoyed changing a stud in the motel carpark at DECA, was a lot less painful than I thought it was going to be... Do S14's have little cutout areas behind the stud like 33s have, so you can bash it out and remove it without taking the whole assembly apart?

Only painful part was not having a hammer with me, so ended up using Anna and Luke's towbar Swung that shit like a baws...

but too lazy to replace again so want to do it right next time.

[Leroy Peterson]

People have systems for putting on wheel nuts? Just cinch em up, maybe check tightness after a few km of driving.

[ARTZ]

yEAh the recheck is the trick...nip em up easy and recheck ...old man thought me years ago to do them up real tight, he would stand on the f**kers..so i would do this but I learnt over the years this was because he had a shit house wrench...add some decent leverage into the equation and they jus

The only thing I take a torque wrench to is building an engine or gearbox...everything else can be guessed!

[ARTZ]

yeah that said i did get a 25$ torque wrench form supercheap that does make a good wheel wrench...the fact it is a torque wrench is just a bonus

[ARTZ]

Love JW black platts....especially at that price....not too fancy but not too shit either...its just right...specially with some dry ginger and ice...

I'm on the Bundy and coke zero tho tonight

In other news, Scotty ran right over my Nokia today in his whale..there was kumho tyres marks on it and all so i know it was him....

I had to defibrillatorize it a few times with my fist, but it Still works

If something requires a torque wrench, I wouldn't be trusting a $25 one for the job.

+ 1 for using logic for everything else... I use a 60cm breaker bar, just a little tug on the end of it gets them to a good tightness, not overdoing it but def not coming off... Just keep those damn tyre shop rattle guns set to 10/10 away from my car and things will be alright...

[ARTZ]

exacery....thats why I only use it on my wheels and not my headbolts ...I like to think of it as a fancy breaker bar

Nokia tried to commit suicide, due to owner being a hack.

I can't believe it still works after being run over by 2ton of whale, twice. All hail the new Nokia brick.

In other news, Plattsy has a nice base for performance, will enjoy raping his engine and getting copious watts from his little donk. Bring on the turbo install.

Hey.

Anyone know anywhere where one can purchase something f**king mundane, possibly the most mundane of all Skyline bits.

A R34 N/A Series 1 Grey Front bar?

Bonus points for a rear bar and skirts, for a sedan.

Surely these must be lying in piles somewhere.

but where?

[xALmoN]

being a fry cook sure is tough.
