Quite often when you get a really good deal on some 3 peice wheels you overlook the fact that the offset is not exactly what you need.

I bought a set of wheels that are +42 and ideally they need to be +35 to +37 so I need spacers. At the moment I have some rubbish ones that look like they were made out of tin foil and the holes are even elongated so they are multifit.

the wheels are perfectly balaced and without spacers there is no wheel shake but with them there is noticable steering shake at 100kmph so the spacers are not holding the wheel flat on the hub. (what a suprise)

So I need a pait of hubcentric 5mm to 7mm 4x114.3 spacers that are a flat peice of steel.

Does anyone have access to a lathe and if geven specs could make a pair up for me? happy to pay :laugh:

how in the world could you make 5mm bolt on spacers mate? so of course he is not using bolt on spacers, and there is nothing dodgey about a proper spacer machined out of a piece of billet aluminium. we have some about 30mm on the race car and have no problems at all.

yea i get steering wheel shake too at 100km/h

are spacers really illegal? because I have just put 245/45 on my front wheels and it looks like there is no gap between the suspension top and the inner end of the tyre. I think it is hitting when I turn or go 100km/p.

Im thinking of getting these spacers but im not sure if they are legal? They are not bolt on, but go between the hub and wheel

the link is here:

WHEEL SPACERS 5mm

where can I find good ones?

ok if any one needs them ill make a couple of sets but if there are more than 10 sets ill make a cnc program

just need PCD of stud holes O.d and I.D and thickness

contact via pm

cheers

I ended up getting some machined up in sydney.

they are alloy and ave hubcentric rings with just my 114.3 x 4 pcd. they are 8mm thick. but to use them captive insert nuts have been used that actually have a shank that goes through the wheel and centres in the whole in the spacer.

sorry it's a bad description but they are an impressive bit of kit.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
