think james is on about the size of socket that fits them. you are on about the thread size jimmy. just to clear any confusion i hope :)

Yes thread size mario....

but i think it must be the nissan size from the drop down menu on driftworks... but i need to be sure.

If i where you i would replace the studs aswell they are cheap as chips from a nissan main stealer !

M12 1.25MM

Smithy

99% sure they are M12 x 1.25 (i.e. fine thread type)

cheers guys, yeah im looking at replacing studs too, but looking for longer ones.

How did you manage to shear them all ?

 

Dont need to be stupidly tight.

Its because i have a big spacer and there is not enough thread sticking out of wheel once on. so not enough of the bolts thread istouching the stud. So everytime i take off a bolt on the front wheels they wobble off unevenly and when trying to retighten them they just turn, i think its also to do with the bolts being aluminium they are very weak.

but better the bolts being weak than the studs.

 

Anyway Thats why i mentioned fitting longer threads above :)

:confused: whatever you meant by all that jimmy (i assume by bolts you mean the nuts?).... it sounds dangerous! if you are not winding the nut on enough threads to be in safety, you will be seriously compromising the load paths through the wheel/suspension and you are taking a risk.

 

in reply to your thread though.. them internal drive wheels nuts from driftworks listed as nissan etc will fit the oem hub studs :) i have the same set...

Yep i am in desperate need of longer stubs and stronger nuts not bolts :D

i havent really driven the car apart from getting to nexus which i snailed the whole way there.
