Any help greatly appreciated

Go to Repco and buy the universal socket with pins inside, it will mold the shape of the locknuts and do the job I hope. Or just buy the extension to you standard socked base. Saw those as well ...cost something like $8/

they are called 'gator grip' just for a little more info..

i thought about that.. but the socket seems to be a little larger than the standard size socket and may not fit in rims that have a hole just big enough for the nut... however some rims that use caps over all 5 nuts may be able to use it on them.

Go to a tyre place if all else fails, my mate didn't have the key thingo for the locknuts on his new car so he took it there and they got them off (you would be screwed if you got a flat tyre or something...)

    • Cheers Duncan! As always I'm happy to post them here. There's a good 30% more cars at the OAM than what are shown in the photos too, so well worth a visit.

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
