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

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.

      Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.

      Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder

      Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
