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

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
