So I need to replace all the studs on the GQ, anybody else that have replaced theirs? If I remember correctly Grant said he replaced them previously with that of a Landcruiser???

So the 96 Cruiser stud will fit...

Nissan stud with nut = R232 x 24 = R5,568

Toyota stud with nut = R106 x 24 = R2,544

Toyota stud with nut from Nuts en bolts = R61 x R24 = R1,440

Is the Toyota and Nissan thread the same?
I think the Nissan uses 12 x 1.25 thread

Yep, but if I replace the stud and the nut (all 24 :doh: ) then its not a problem, Toyota is the "more universal" 1.5 thread so much easier and cheaper to replace the nut....

Makes sense as its way harder to find Nissan nuts in the event that one gets lost.

And I can get 10 for the price of 1 Nissan nut - that is ridiculous :naughty:

Why you want to replace the studs?

Ahhhhhh.... sheeeeeeeeeeet man

I would fit the cruiser studs and nuts again for sure. In fact I'm going to do mine too one of these days. Nissans threads are good that you get a better bite on the rim due to the finer thread, but can be a pain in the donkey if you ever loose a nut. Get studs slightly longer if you can to compensate for the 6mm spacer !!

Dirk, give Speedy Nut and Bolt a call?

Keep in mind that the finer thread is stronger, although it's probably not necessary.
