R32 Skyline GTR Rear Axle Axle Nut Thread Pitch

[KyleMcMc]

Hey, I need to know the thread pitch of the axle nut, because i am a dumbass who at 2 in the morning hit the axle with a ball peen hammer. And now have to rethread it, any help with this would be greatly appricated

Or you could measure it yourself and know exactly what it is ? Heard of a threadfile ? You'll be able to tell what pitch it is and clean it up with that.

Even a set of verniers and some squinting will do the job.

I unfortunately don't have one, but it is something i will be putting on order for the future. Thank you for your advice. as for a thread file, I tried to fix it with a normal one to get the nut back on and did not go to plan. If i cant fix it with a tap and die set i will most likely have to get a new axel.

Use the verniers to measure the distance between, say, 5 threads, then divide that number by, say, 5.
