Bitcoin math question

Bitcoin transaction formula question.
If k is the nonce, it goes through the same pattern to become the R value as the private key does to become the public key, right? k * Gx = R
So if I take a k value and input it into for example bitaddress.org (or any other software for that matter) like it was the private key, the first part of the public key is supposed to match the R value of my transaction? (minus the 04 at the beginning)
But I don't get this value. Am I missing something?
