R32 Gts-4 Wheel Studs

So, I have a GTS-4 that I need all new front wheel studs for. I am curious if they are GTR or GTS-T studs. I found them online with Conceptua and they have GTS-T and GTR studs for sale separately, so I assume they are different spline counts. I'm also assuming they are GTS-T studs, but this car is so confusing when it comes to correct parts. Yes, I've already emailed Conceptua twice and for some reason they haven't replied.

I am hoping someone here maybe has either experience with GTS-4 stud interchangeability or have either GTR/GTS-T studs removed so they can count the splines. The ones I removed have 36 splines. Thank you for any help!

Are they different at all? The Nismo stuff afaik comes in packets or 8 or 10 to suit the stud count and are different front to rear but they don't appear to differentiate between R32 models. The diameters of the knurled sections is different front to rear but the count is unimportant.

Also nice work Ben on the machining terminology pedantry.

I don't know if they are different, I wouldn't see Nissan making them different as it would make two separate parts for no good reason. I saw them listed differently, which is why I asked the seller and since they won't reply, asked here. I tried to get on the Nismo site but it wasn't working for some reason, and anything on Google leads me to nothing useful. I know the front is different from the rear for sure, I just wasn't sure about from GTS to GTR.

I didn't know it was just a matter of measuring the diameter and that the knurl count didn't matter, as DJR81 pointed out. I would have figured the count would have mattered. I was merely overthinking it.

So yes, Ben C34, I did make this thread. Considering there isn't another f**king thread about this, I made one. It's a reasonable question considering they had them listed separate and any time I've ever seen "knurls" or splines or certain patterns like that in other applications, usually the number of them matters.

It doesn't matter now as it's been sorted. Thank you for the help.

I strongly suspect that Nissan haven't changed studs since whenever.

As an example, the wheel nuts from my 1973 180B SSS fit my 1999 Pathfinder. And the wheel nuts that used to be on my 32 GTS4 fit the SSS.

Maybe the only difference between models might be the length of the stud. But the diameter and thread haven't change since Pontius was a Pilate in the Roman Airforce.

      You’ll want to have the block drilled and tapped to suit 1/2in head studs and the head for the same. How much power do you intend to make?

      Sorry for resurrecting an oldish thread Not much has happened in the past year since the last update. The car did another 1000 miles or so and failed the MOT for the first time in October (failed on tyres which had been advised for a couple of years) In October the car got put up for sale and was removed in November due to no interest, being so close to christmas it was to be expected. The roads were dry in February so I decided to tax it early and get the new tyres fitted.   Fast forward to April, I got someone in to give the car a good clean after sitting for the winter.                                 The car got re-advertised and today (Saturday 3rd May) the car sold. The new owner is planning a GTR conversion at some point and a respray in the same pearl white. It's bitter sweet, it's a shame to have the car sit there for half the year and then only do 1000 miles. The kids are growing too quick and space in the back is getting limited. It's been a great 6.5 years of ownership

      And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.

      No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.

      Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.
