Hey guys, finally got off my ass and test fitted my new rims and it seems i need a 10mm bolt on spacer on the front to clear the brakes.

Cant use slip on spacers as ive tried then the studs are too short poking out of the rims to tighten them up.

Another problem is that the smallest BOLT ON spacer ive seen is 25mm and thats way too much for my application (even 10mm is but what can i do)

Any help on where i can find 10mm spacers or get them fabricated?

Or any other ideas on what to do? Do i have to lengthen my studs?

Cheers

Kelvin

If theyre your rims, when are they goin backwards on the Lada?

Throw em on and post up some pics!!! :D

Then u can pump the guards and spray the car midnight purple, would be like u never sold your GTR!! (Actually then u would have to spray the rims bronze) KGB-GTR

Also need my rims powdercoated/painted white, who did that fantastic work on those rims?

Hey kelly.. I don't know what you mean by slide on and bolt on.. How can you bolt on a spacer????...

anyways my 5mm spacers just sit in between the rim and the hub.. and the nuts go on top of the rim as always...

speaking of rims, i discovered that my spacesaver was a 4 stud anyways.. so if i blow a tyre.. im f**ked.

D@MN i better go check my cheese grinder just incase its a 4 stud too!

umm how can isay, i too have the 5mm slip on ones actually on there at the moment.

The bolt on ones slip on the hub and 5 new threads poke out too, so u keep the same length of thread. When i use my 5mm slip on ones, the thread shortens by 5mm if i went any bigger the nutwould sit on the stud on a thread or 2.

(Hope that makes sense, if someone with better knowlede of this stuff can explain it better please do).

Thanks to Garage-13 for the pic, im sure it will show u better:

FATGTS-R is right though i dont think u can get 10mm bolt ons cos there wouldnt be enough meat on the spacer and the original thread would poke out the other end.

ahhh I understand... sort of.. how does the spacer connect to the original thread AND the wheel though?

I see the extra holes there pressumably for the original threads, but then how does it sit on the wheel correctly, unless your wheel has 10 holes?

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
