Hey Ed, I'll take a set in blue as well.

Do you have a price for shipping if we have to pay it?

BTW, for those that said they don't use a torque wrench on wheel nuts....you probably should, particularly if you are doing track days. It is *very* common to overtorque wheel nuts, and this can cause broken studs as you stretch and weaken them. Rattle guns are may be convenient but they are not a good idea.

Product: APX Super Wheel Nuts

Price: $120AU shipped within Australia

Minimum order: 5 sets

Applications: Nissan, Subaru, Honda, Mitsubishi, Toyota, Daihatsu and Mazda

Descriptions: These come in Red, Blue and Black. Individual weight is 30gm's. APX super-light lug nuts are made from aluminum alloy that is very strong but light (less 50%-60% in weight compared with ordinary steel nuts).  Our lug nuts fit all tuner wheels of major Japanese motor models.  Each nut has engineered close-end design to prevent rusting.  External socket pattern ensures better torque without breakage.  Bulge design provides more seating surface than traditional tuner lug nuts.

These only come in sets of 20. Do not torque these over 120nm.

Hate to disallusion anyone, but if it's shear weight that's the goal and for race purposes, a standard Nissan zinc plated hex steel wheel nut only weighs 28grams.

yep, but these are not the standard size.

If they were standard length and open ended they would be even lighter.

Group buy is still on.

Just waiting on the manufacturer to finish the current batch before I put my order in.

    • There are fixes for this. In industry we use compressed air for everything. It is frequently wet, and many things cannot tolerate it. So there are various forms of driers available that you can install. The simplest option for something like this would be a dessicant drier. Much cheaper to replace some silica gel than actuator cylinders.
    • That's a solid update mate, well done at WA FOS. You may already know this, but the actuators on the paddle shift are a service item and are sadly not that reliable. As I understand it they collect water from the compressor (condensation) which then rusts the bores/pistons in the actuators. A mate of mine had no end of trouble with them in one if his circuit cars, apparently it's a 'known issue'. Buy a couple of spares at great expense to ensure you never have any problems with the ones you've got! Any clues about what the new WTAC rules might be? While faster cars are cool the Pro class arms race has got to the point where you wouldn't even bother entering without a $1m budget and even then I don't think you'd win.

You can see another picture of it here: https://www.alltranz.com.au/shop/drivetrain/automatic-transmission/RE5R01A/product/9305/ The 4 speed automatic in the GTT is Nissan corporate stuff. You can search up similar jobs done on a Frontier or Pathfinder with a RE4R01B to get an idea for what the internals are going to look like and the procedure like this:
