Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

Nissan (and I think Honda) studs have a 1,25 mm thread and most others 1,5 mm thread. The 1,25 mm is supposedly stronger.

I and many others had the problem when purchasing the Patrol that 1, 5 mm nuts had been forced onto 1, 25 mm studs and some studs replaced with the 1, 5 mm ones from whatever.

You can see the difference so replace the 1, 5 mm with the genuine Nissan 1, 25 mm ones and sommer replace all the wheel nuts with the correct thread aftermarket ones. Will not cost you an arm and a leg for piece of mind.

When you go to the tyre fitment place watch your nuts like a hawk as they somehow manage to swop them with the car on the next ramp and force them on with an air drill.

Torque on wheel nuts should be about 120 Nm.

IO know it's difficult in Nelspruiit and worse in Sabie, but the best place to look for studs are the specialist bolt and nut suppliers.

Thanks for the info/advise. Think there is a nut&bolt shop in nelspruit..

MALAS Tyres has the flat head and cone shaped nuts for Nissan i.e 1,25
The styds ?? eisjj i dunno

Received spacers yesterday .Thanks very much Cedric and Greg for your troubles

Pleasure bud.

Ricster Cedric ... Anybody: Advice please.. SupaQuick tellsme the studs on INYATHI's wheels are too short to accommodate the spacers as baught through Ricster.

Watse rims/mags is op die voertuig?

Ek het 'n paar van my 4.5 grx se studs & wiel nuts gestrip toe ek die spacers op gesit het - het toe na die tyd gehoor dat dit nie 'n goeie idee is om die spacers op die standaard rims te gebruik nie. (ook te min stud/thread beskibaar aangesien standaard mags redelik dik is).

Oom, ek het my 6mm spacers eers nou die dag laat opsit.
Ek was bekommerd oor spasie, toe vertel TW&Tire se mense my hulle sal mooi check voor hulle my daar laat wegry. Ek moet se hulle was besonder deeglik. Na die een kerel klaar is, kom 'n ander een daar aan met sy eie spannner om sy werk op te check.

En hulle was happy. Die rede: Hulle se die stud moet ten minste 4 en a half keer kan draai om secure te wees, en met die 6mm spacers maak die standaard rims dit net.
Myne is alles nog standaard daar.

Het oom nog die standaard rims? Ek dink amper nie so nie, as mens kyk op jou fotos to jy die nuwe tjor aan ons voorgestel het....

Miskien is die fancy mags te dik?

I worked on my mags thickness, and also got enough thread protruding to ensure sufficient thread grip within the wheel nut. I would presume that on steel rims it would be even better. I have mine on and have no hassles. I'm pretty sure I have the standard Nissan wheel studs in, cause its those silly 0.25 pitch threads which I think are only on the Nissan
