Hi guys,
I'm after one locking (not staked) rear stub axle nut from something like a 280ZX or R30, probably other IRS cars as well, it's for the small stub axles so is M20 x 1.5.

Buy a new one from Blacks? that's what I did. Hit up Bart for mad hook ups!

Yeah I thought about a nyloc but I've already got one genuine one so thought I'd try getting a 2nd.
I did find that some motorcycle rear wheel nuts are the same thread and you can get titanium ones...

Another thought is to use a normal nut and a Nordlok positive locking washer.
They work on friction and compression and are bloody hard to get undone once they are on.
Apart from letting go with a hell of a bang they work really welll

Got it sorted, bought the titanium ones haha, bit of a waste of money but they'll look cool for about 5 minutes before I hopefully never see them again.
