so im fitting the new wheels today and i wanna get nice dressy wheel nuts.

probably blue.

do i need a certain taper/ thread/ lenght ect? (S2 c34, Varrstoen 2.2.2)

whould i stay away from alloy? i hear they bur up and can be quite soft on the thread.

go titanium or just overkill?

where is the best place to buy good quality stylish nuts for a good price?

do we have a "guy" for this?

would love something like this... or just streight bue.

Titanium12-1-5-Lug-Nuts-17hex-Zhanrui-Wh

OR i might want to get a very specific colour, can you paint or powdercoat them in a way which they wont just scrape and chip off?

can you get them anodised in a colour?

thanks for the help

I've had about 3 or 4 eBay sets in aluminium over the years, range from $30 - $80... They come in all types of colours but I have found the colour fades over time. Haven't had any issues with them being a "soft" aluminium either.

Wouldn't bother painting as they will just chip/flake, as mentioned they come in enough colours anyway. You can spend $200 plus for a genuine jap set but to be honest I couldn't justify it for my rotas!

I'm pretty sure Nissans require 12x1.25

Had a set of rays ones before that "copy's" I reckon very soft and paint scratched up $50.

The blue works ones look good

    • Update time!  The JZX110 had some maintenance needing to be done, so a lot of the seals with replaced to fix some oil leaks. Also used this opportunity to whack on a front mount that I'd bought some time ago.  I also finally got the rear lip painted and fitted.  I then got the exhaust done. It's just a catback for now. Custom made 3" stainless with a turn down. I could have a tip coming out, but it will require cutting the rear lip and possibly the bumper itself. So far I do like and it's made the car a little more zippy.  Close out with some nice pictures of the cars and a sneak peek of what's next.

    • Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅
