Well, after hearing odd noises from my front left wheel (read, wheel i hit gutter with when i dodged roo) i jacked it up, and a few of my wheel nuts were a bit loose. i started tightening them, then one decided to shear off.... this is a pain in the butt, nothing ever goes right with my car

I know for some cars you can replace the stud when this happens, is this true for skylines? and is there anywhere in particular i'd have to go, or will most stearing/suspension places be able to fix this? so frustrated right now...

Ouch, lucky you picked up on it...

I can see it now, traveling down the road and seeing a wheel go past.... Hang on, that's my wheel !!

When I got the R33 GTS-t (years ago), one of the studs were rooted, I took it into that tyre place in Phillip on the main drag and they put a new stud in the hub for me. I think it was $70 all up or something...

you may be best to go to nissan and get the stud from them as i had a couple let go on my car and i got the aftermarket (supposedly cheaper) ones and they were too big to fit the hub, the nissan genuine were a perfect fit and cheaper too, thats on a 32 tho

Sheared OFF??!! Remind me not to get into an arm wrestle with you.

I don't mean to questioning your judgement in any way but might there be another problem that caused the shearing? I can understand them coming loose from the hub or cross threading etc but I've never seen a wheel stud shear off before - even with a big ass rattle gun going berserk to the point that the nut cant be undone with an extension bar. After all we are talking about some pretty serious size studs in most cases. Then again if they were replaced already with inferior quality stuff, perhaps before you had the car, no wonder.

It isn't actually that hard to shear them off. Spastics at a certain tyre centre cross threaded one of my studs on my old liberty resulting in it shearing off. Also managed to put some lovely scratches on my wheels. Not impressed.

Well, problem solved. i took the car into discount tyre service this morning. $10 for wheel stud, $5 for a new wheel nut and $60 for labour. all in all, í'm happy with the price.

it happened i think when i hit the gutter dodging a roo. i have an impact fracture in that tyre at the same point where the stud sheared off. coincidence? i think not. so i need a new tyre as well after all that.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
