SHIT!! :) I bought a set of rims from ian diffens when i first got my skyline bout a month ago and they put wheel spacers in the fronts to clear the brake calipers. i didn't know they were illegal can i do anything to fix the problem eg take them back and get a set that fit properly. is there a law where they would have to rectify the problem. any help would be great.

If the wheel dont fit, dont use it!

Go back to ian diffen, give them back the rims which obviously dont suit your car, get your money back and go to a dealer who can sell you the correct wheel for the car.

they put ally plates between the hub and the rim. probably a dumb question but whats the difference between wheel spacers and hub locaters??

th hub locaters help fill th gap between th hub hole in th middle of th rim an th bit of th hub that pokes out from th center of th disc rotor

its to stop movement of th wheels on th hubs

are your hubs bigger on the back??? if they needed spacers to clear the brakes then they're not hub locators/rings locators are for when your center is drilled out wider than the hub . hub takes the load studs are just to keep the wheel there and apply centrivical ( ?? ) force .. any one gunna correct me ??

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
