Yeah real glamour I know.

Managed to ruin a stud on the weekend which means I now have to buy ten new Nismo long (50mm) studs and new wheel nuts.

I presently have the Project Mu nuts:

Problem being they are open ended and water sits in the ends of them after rain or when you wash the car and you end up with a corroded stud and nut.

So I am after something with a closed end, some STEEL (Not aluminium) and something that doesn't need a special key to unlock them with (So no 7 sided Nismo nonsense or lock nuts)

This is the closest I can find:

I think they are steel but cant confirm. Does anyone have them? Do they fit the 50mm wheel studs?

Of course I then need two sets to get rid of the lock nuts.

I bought mine from the local repco, chrome/steel. The flange style is excellent for seating them in the socket when asking them on and off, and they last forever.

Not sure that a closed end nut will work on a long stud though

LOL, come on man. I run the open ended steel Rays nuts. I always grease my studs and expect the film of grease means they never corrode. Oh, and my front studs are ARP so come zinc coated, though it no doubt wears off after lots of use. . Though my rear Nismo studs are plain steel and are in with a box of bolts and bits that are going off for zinc coating before my new rear end goes back together/into the car.

Really - what torque do you use post lube?

keep using the $300 project MU nuts and just blow out the water after washing. Or go all out and spray a bit of WD40 in there...

Yeah bit late for that. They are already rusted and fkd. Glad I didn't pay $300 for them.

Roy, you don't happen to have a part number for the ARP studs - cant find a reference on their site.

    • Yeah one of the first things I out in when I started having catch can filling up issues. Still prefer to empty 1-2 times a track day rather than every session
    • You'll find this link is probably more useful  Performance Turbochargers - Garrett - G GT GTX GTW Series Turbo TBG G35 1150 map may not even get added to my list depending on how it looks, the G35 1050 already is a mixed bag for making the numbers you would expect from the compressor map due to mismatch - I don't know how another 10lb/min of compressor flow is going to make that any better.   I've left out others for similar reasons as it's already getting quite big.   In terms of Precision, provide me with legit compressor maps for them and I'll do my thing   I'll add some more of the newer Xona Rotor options are they're pretty boss, I'd take a 68mm Xona over a G35 "1150" any day of the week - or Precision for that matter.
    • Ahh got it. Well maybe install a drain for the catch can somewhere down low and accessible like a wheel well too....
    • Before you blow your car up, have you checked you've made all the correct modifications to the wiring if you're still using the RB20DE loom?   Some things to look at: The pin used for the map sensor on the RB25DET, is the same pin used on the RB20DE for the Ring Gear Crankshaft Position Sensor, no idea what you've got it plugged into now. The turbo pressure control valve solenoid you're talking about on the RB25DET, the same pin is used for the Variable Air Intake Control Valve on the RB20DE.   The factory manual has the wiring pinouts in it for you to check everything. It also has the diagnostics process to read codes out. In addition, there's a great table that shows what sensors and what actuators not functioning will relate to which signals. And Nissan confirm the as everyone else has from experience, the Solenoid being disconnected won't cause a fuel cut. However, the turbo pressure sensor being missing / wrong, WILL cause a fuel cut. https://www.nicoclub.com/service-manual?fsm=Skyline%2FR34-Workshop-Manual-English.pdf
    • I've been hunting info on the G Series II - this is best I have found so far(Link below). Still waiting on the G35-1150 comp map, kind of very keen   So how do we go about getting precision on that little table of yours ?   https://turbosbytm.com/sites/default/files/product/technical-info/Garrett-G-Series-II-Product_Flyer 25 30 35_1.pdf
