ant, i like your wheels. look very tough on a dark 33. what are they again? are they rays SE?

Thanks Richard...with the dramas I had getting a set of track rims everything was made better when I bolted them to the car for the first time :P

They are rays RE30....

Hey Roy,

I have just gone thru the same issue as you with spacers and have found a solution.

My front wheels are +42 offset 8" wide with wide case 235 45 series 17" and my tyres were scrubbing on the outside edge on my upper wishbones. So I needed some spacers. I had dodgy slip on ones put on and the steering shake was shocking...

I was in Sydney last week and went to tempe tyres and they made up a set of hubcentric 10mm slip on spacers to suit my wheels.

The best part is they fitted insert shank nuts that go through the wheel and through the spacer and have almost the whole thread holding the wheel on the stud (at least as much as the standard nuts.

the wheels now fit perfectly and no steering shake.

pm me if you would like a photo...

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
