im in the process of gather parts for the converion, and got a set of new 12x1.5 wheel studs to suite.
however after i punched out the original nissan studs i found that the new toyota ones do not fit, the base of the wheel stud is too thick to slot into the hub.
has anyone succesfully converted to toyota wheel studs when doing this conversion, and if so can they i please know what studs were used?
thanks.
What is the difference in the studs? ie why are you changing them? Different thread or length?
You could probably find one that will fit from your local motor traders/repco etc. I think Nice Products do quite a few different types and their catalogue lists dimensions.
nissan wheel stud thread is diffrent
Nice products - niceproducts.com.au
Has a pdf catalogue on that page. You'll be able to find something with the right length, thread and knurl diameter there. I haven't got around to measuring things up yet so I can't give you a part #.

Toyota is 12 x 1.5 and nissan is 12x 1.25 ..... or it could be the other way around. why do you need to change the studs anyway? if you don't need a special nut (ie mag nuts or shank type) just go to any tire place and they will be able to get some nuts with the right thread pattern for you on the spot!

1 - Having different nuts front and back is rude as.
2 - Nissan/Datsun nuts are much easier to strip/crossthread given their finer pitch. The 0.25mm makes a suprising difference
yes toyota is 1.5x12, nissan 1.25x12. my mags require an unusual wheel nut but in any case id rather have them all the same.
i got my local parts supplier to send me out all their different wheel studs with a 1.5 pitch thread, they sent out 5, all 'nice' branded. 4 were all too large at the press fit end, 1 was too small.
thanks for that link, ill check out the online catalogue tonight when i get home from WSID.
There are way more than 5 in the catalogue
Just measured up.
S13
- 12.8 knurl
- 41 length
- 13.1 shoulder
Best fit in a 12 by 1.5 is S370
- 12.8 knurl
- 43.9 length
- 13.0 shoulder
And it seems the listing for 180SX in the nice catalog is wrong.

have you tried these studs hen or just going by the catalogue? i take it you are going to change the studs if you havent already.
thats a nice part number isnt it?
