New to Skylines, I have become the carer for a well worn GTS-t which is on it's way to becoming whole again.

The attached pic shows one of the wheels. Questions:

Are these the original wheels?

Where do I get a bit / driver / tool to undo the socket type wheel nuts?

Anyone know what the wheel centres look like and where can I buy four?

thanks,

Max.

They look like 32 wheels

Take it to a Tyre shop and get them to remove nuts. If it just hex nuts with no special key then use a large alen key. If the last one is also just generic and not a lock nut same - use a socket.

Try import monster to see if they can track you down the caps (or post in WTB section), check ebay...

Thanks Guys. Nissan dealer had stock of the right wheel nuts ("you can have them at trade price mate, $7.80 each")! and tyre guy swopped them over for ten bucks.

And ebay looks the go for generic wheel centres and Nissan badges for them.

    • It's more like on average the things I see a lot of things going wrong. Yes, usually the people who reach out are the ones who are having problems but on average it feels like mechanics and tuners here aren't really competent. I swing between thinking my standards are just way too high and wondering whether people really are just this dumb. I just had the strangest 10+ reply argument on a Facebook group over someone insisting that the factory R34 GTT boost control solenoid reduces boost pressure to 5 psi when it's on and raises boost pressure to 7 psi when it's off despite showing the exact plumbing in the factory service manual and the solenoid behavior detailed in the FSM.
    • I steam cleaned my near new set of volk gtc wheels 14 years ago and farrkkked them lol. The clear coat cracked like spider webbing in several areas. Lesson learnt don't do that. ๐Ÿ˜ญ
    • If you don't touch the CAS, then you're fine.
    • Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.
    • I hear the old "I'd never use a pressure washer on my motorbike" BS in the dirtbike community too.ย  The only people that have had a problem from using a pressure washer on anything are the people that aren't using them properly.ย  If you hold the wand any more than 45 cms away from pretty muchย anything (radiators, wiring connectors, paint, etc) you aren't going to cause any damage.ย  We've had detailers wreck moulds and seals on cars at work before and the only reason why is they held the pressure washer too close and on the one spot for too long.ย  If you have 5% more brain power than a detailer then you know not to not do that and you'll never have a problem.
