C34 Rs4S Wheel Studs

[OMY31T]

as the topic asks, will r33 studs fit my rs4s?? my mehcanics apprentice snapped 2 of my studs fitting my 19's and has ordered r33 wheel studs as replacements and he "hopes they will fit" sigh. it took me 5 mins to find the nissan part number ni-43222-28b10 for c34 studs, but ive had no luck seeing if it matches the r33 part number.

any help is appreciated.

cheers.

Some of the Nissan studs have different diameter at the knurled section, even though the thread dia. is the same.

i know, this is what worries me, i need it fixed to go away in a week. ffs.

umm....2 broken but not replacing the rest?

my guess is they overtightened the nuts and 2 broke. However, how do you know others were not overtightened/stretched/weakened but not broken?

I'd by very cautious....

they didnt put the wheels on, it was the 1st wheel they took off. the apprentice stuffed up hard. they are replacing all the studs on that wheel. what happend was the guy didnt do the nuts up by hand, he threw them on with the rattle gun straight up and cross threaded 4 out of the 5 studs and they were that f**ked that they studs snapped trying to get the wheel nuts back off.

retarded.

good to hear they are doing the right thing to fix it....lots of places would be more difficult or just try and change 2 before you notice. Or as I had in one case just leave 1 wheelstud snapped and hope you don't look at it.

Worked in the mechanical car industry for 10yrs, & I can tell everyone, I do as much as I can WITHOUT taking it to a workshop, even tyre changes, I just take the wheels in, alot of tyre fitters are worse than an apprentice mechanic!!!!!!! I just bought a set of "race" spec alloy wheel nuts (believe me I'm hesitant about using them), & will be checking they remain at 85ft/lbs (110nm) after every drive. My problem is that my front studs are M12x1.25, but the rears are M12x1.5.......My Stagea is a stock S2 RS FOUR S (LSD). Can anyone shed light on this (other that maybe it broke a stud or two & all that was available at the time of repair were the 1.5's before it sailed down under)?

[KiwiRS4T]

Should def all be 1.25!!

[dirtyRS4]

agreed, as nismo list 1.25 in there specs aswell.

[533 RYC]

Cheers Kiwi 'N Dirty, didn't think it was a weird thing, no manufacturer would do 1.25 & 1.5, must have been done aftermarket. have ordered a set of 1.5's anyway, so I have a spare pair.......

Holy thread revival!

Anyhow i ordered wheel studs through Nissan for my SERIES 1 C34 Rs4 part number is ni-43222-28b10, they do not fit because the knurling part is too thick, can anyone help a brother out and give me a part number for a series 1? I know for certain the ones i have are for series 2 as i compared them with Chuckies off his S2.

Thanks for ay help

Hi mate, I am reasonably sure that the front and rear p/n are different (different size where they press into the hub) - did you get the right end? the front match something local and are readily available, the rears seem to be skyline and a bit trickier to find (but nissan have them in stock)

[horrace]

thanks for that mate I must have fronts, the ones I compared them to were fronts so I'll hit up nissan tomorrow.
