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

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
