INDY510 Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Why do those look like stock wheel studs??? I would never run ANY spacer without putting longer wheel studs in....... the fronts are easy...... rears: not easy And don't tighten the lugs without a pry-bar and torque Quote Link to comment

blueridgespeed Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Do you know the part number for longer studs that will fit? Hmmm, ARP lug studs (widely available, I get mine from Summit racing) -the ones for Camaro's are what I settled on. They are a different thread pitch, the pitch is used on Ho__da's (eek!). SO you'll need new nuts, but you'll probly want to go with open-ended nuts anyway. I'll scrounge around and find the part ## - back soon -J Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Try this Napa part number. I've bought longer 280zx studs before, I just don't have time to dig them out at 6am :) If I remember right, they should be a direct replacement....just longer. They're the rear studs. I know I've posted them before, just don't remember if it was here or on nwde.....either way, I have no clue....maybe the strut mod thread???

blueridgespeed Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Thanks! Ill check them out to. Thanks!! As promised, the ARP part # for the studs I use is 100-7708. It's a 12mm x 1.5 pitch stud for "late model GM wsk" It is about 2.5 inches long overall, protruding right at 2" past the knurl that sits in the hub flange. So if you measure "what's sticking out" of your current studs as they sit on the car, compare that to 2" for these. The 280zx studs (above) are only a tiny bit longer than stock, and you'll need to pay attention to FRONT or REAR if you order some. They may be "longer enough" though, AND you'll be able to stay with the Nissan standard 12mm x 1.25 pitch so you can keep your lug nuts. Many go with "new nuts" anyway, open or otherwise, so it doesn't always make a difference. I've always switched over to these whenever I service a hub - they're very reasonable price and look cool in the yellow zinc dichromate finish. We've all seen our beloved Dat's with broken studs and I think new ones are cheap for the security. FWIW I put these ARP's on my 240z as well. It held Panasports well (good thread engagement) but still fit under the stock hubcaps when I put the OE steel wheels on. Remember you'll need to get 1.5 thread pitch lug nuts, which are super-easy to find anywhere - cheap ones or nice ones. Quote Link to comment
ariascarlos1990 Posted March 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Thanks man! Now I need to sell some stuff to buy those. (im broke!) Quote Link to comment
ariascarlos1990 Posted March 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Decided to try and sell one of my fiddy's to help fund my Datsun projects. My link I'll start with the only bad thing but, its really nothing.... It needs some cable lube to be sprayed down the throttle cable it sometimes sticks. It runs Really good! Starts within the first couple kicks. This thing is pretty quick it can almost keep up with my Big Bore XR50. I have the title in hand and the owners manual that will come with it. I recently put a brand new rear rim and tire on it about a week ago also. The brakes work really good, suspension is great, has a full tank of gas. Its ready to go! Hate to sell it but, I need money for other projects. Asking $350 Firm. Quote Link to comment
blueridgespeed Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 One more thing on wheel studs. Nissan motorsports also makes long ones (in the Nissan 1.25 pitch, of course). They are quite expensive, IIRC more than twice the cost of the ARP's. Quote Link to comment
ariascarlos1990 Posted March 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 I think im just gonna go with the ARP's thanks! Quote Link to comment
ariascarlos1990 Posted March 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Today was a good night. Went to a Datsun meet then came home a Yakima Ski Rack. :D I think its because I gave that bum my hole stash of change I had in my car..... Quote Link to comment
