Yeah trust me, I've been there before..fell in love with a set of wheels, spent many weeks searching on yahoo auctions for it, finally found it, took me more than 9 weeks to get it here..then found out it didn't clear calipers, tried slip on spacers..dodgy..had custom made bolt on spacers...made my wheels vibrate at high speeds...in the end gave up and sold the wheels and bought ones that fitted nicely...

My high speed vibration were fixed with a simple wheel alignment and balance. No more vibrations at all :)

I Had spacers on my R33 when I bought it, and the standard studs on it only did up a few turns.....not enough thread. I ended up getting engineerd longer studs for the front to make it safe. Also they shaved the Nissan off on the front brakes to make clearence........bloody fags!.....don't go to LA performance in VIC.

and only a year ago I bought a set of Volk GT-C's 18inchs for my line and the fit was perfect....the right offset.

filled the guards and looked heaps better too!

don't use the wrong offset wheels.

sorry to hi jack this thread i just got a set of 18 inch gmax rims on my line. they seem to fit but the only problem is that there is a tiny clearance between the front brakes and rim (gap is 1.5 to 2mm). should i be worried?

Not at all, if there is a gap theres a gap, if it does not scrape then u have no problem. The wheel stays a fixed distance so aslong as it has some clearance there is no problem...

Spacers are illegal. I don't like that idea personally. Get soneone to hop in car and have it roll past you while you stand on the side of the road. If you hear is scraping then you have an issue. Get someone to profile the word nissan down like 0.5mm to be safe if you want.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
