Who has spacers?

What size are they?

Floaters or actual bolt in ones?

What car is it on?

What is the law in QLD?

I want to buy spacers for my R32 GTR.

Obviously they are pretty exy and i want to get the right size ones.

Can anyone spare a weekend morning or arvo and let me try the spacer on my car? Im looking to buy the bolt on ones that are around 20mm-25mm.

Ill buy you maccas on the way LOL.

I've got 5mm slip on ones lying around...

Tried the 20mm bolt on ones before...made my steering shake going between 100-110 no matter how many times i tried balancing the wheels...in the end I gave up and bought proper wheels that fit without spacers...

Not recommended from a legal perspective.

im no engineer but from a mechanical view i dont think that spacers will do that to your steering. it would seem like something else in your steering line has worn or not in good condition. Of course as i said im no engineer.

Well I took it in to a few wheel shops for opinions and thats what they told me. and got the wheels balanced a couple of times...when I took the spacers off, no more shakes...

:O

5 and 3mm each side on the front of R33 brakes.. Probably what most would call borderline safe. Not road legal though of course.

slip ons are never going to be perfectly centric to the hub... Nis50 have you got any pics of yours? Mine have a bit of play around the studs but are a light weight design wich I attribute to me having no problems at higher speeds.

Nah, I returned them. They were custom made by Chris at wheels revolution...supposedly one of the higher quality ones..I guess they weren't...:)

ive been reading up about spacers too. slip on ones are 'dodgy' depending who you talk to. i wouldnt go any more than 5mm slip on. also you need to watch how much thread you have left. if its too short get longer hub bolts

bolt on tend to be a lot safer in many peoples views. also with any spacer, its best to get one that has a centric hub locater. this will eliminate the shaking provided you had good wheel balance before the spacers.

I've got slip on ones. They ARE hub centrifical. They will be going back on, on the weekend so I'll get some pics etc. But I also have longer studs. Wheel revoultions werent going to make them unless I did have the longer studs, so they do realise there is a safty issue attached.

I tried some "floaters/slip ons" awhile back and they werent very useful. I think im in preference for the Bolt on ones. They look safer as they have implanted studs and they would give you a more central location to the Hub.

The floaters were not very central.

And i cant be stuffed spending more $$$ when its really a cosmetic feature im chasing.

Hrmm.. no offence. but that is like asking who wanted to be shafted next time when being checked for defect... but if you want to check out what spacers will fit or what not, have you called a few tyre places? I know of one on gold coast that has a number of different sizes (saw they had then in the cabinet while I was there last time) and I'm sure they would be happy to find out which fits and what not. But they will say its not street legal. PM me if you like the details of the store.

i have slip on spacers on my gtr atm.. if they are just put on and not eqully spaced before you tighten the wheel nuts up then it makes your wheels shakes really bad

Slip on ones. As you can see they are machined to suit my wheels and hubs. Fit on perfectly, and were made by a wheel maker so I know they are actually central and all true.

Reason for slip ons is they dont make 10mm bolt ons, that are safe anyway.

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂
