So what other alternatives do I have? Just the normal 10mm spacers with longer bolts? where do I get those then?

Cheers

Hey Richo, you cant get 10mm bolt on spacers, the smallest ive seen is 15mm. You will need longer studs if your going to run 10mm ring spacers and you can get a set of 20 Nismo 60mm studs for about $110 from Greenline.. Good luck with it :laugh:

hub centric (or bolt-on hub centric) spacers are good (providing they are made from the right material). the normal round rings are not so good, but having said that we used 4 of them (10mm ones) on the race car and never had a problem with it, but I have heard of people cracking them, and also loosing studs etc.

I've tried just jap but they dont have anything in stock,

I have seen the normal ones on ebay but not hub centric, which is what Im after, I dont want to have any problems,

I dont mind paying extra to get the good quality ones, the question is where? :yes:

I actually got some made up so I knew they were 100% exactly right for my hubs, studs and wheels. Cost about $80 each. Are obviously hub centrifical. And they are a SNUG fit as in Im going to have to think of a clever way to get them off. I've also had longer studs put in so there is still heaps of meat there. I cant say I notice the difference on the road, but when you put the wheel on you do... Hard to explain but I do feel safer.

I got them from wheel revoultions in slacks creek - brisbane. So just pull up your white pages and put in 'wheels' and 'slacks creek' then scroll thru until you find them.

[edit] forgot to mention they are just slip on ones. The smallest they made in bolt ons is 15mm

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
