hey trying to fit my old wheels that fit fine on my old skyline (94 gtst) on to my newer one (96) but after i fit i rolled out and then there was rubbing -__- the wheels are 18x 8.5(235) front and 18x 9.5 (245)rear offset is +37 all around they clear the calipers but i think the control arm was very close on the front lik few mm from the tire. All my old car had was rolled gaurds and coils this one has king springs on the front and i think it is to low with them, would puttin stock springs back on the front fix this problem? will they fit again?

So roll them already!

would puttin stock springs back on the front fix this problem? will they fit again?

Possibly, but if they rub now, they CAN rub with higher springs, it just takes a bigger bump for it to happen.

So in summary, roll them :laugh:

ok sounds good, should i just put the stock springs back in the front because it only had kings in the front not the back and then roll them as well and just wait for coils. Also anyone tell me how much it is to roll, i was told go tech9 see them any other ideas iam sure some people on the forum have there own roller or something...

usually about $50/corner.

how low was your old car compared to the new one? there is no difference in guard width/hub in S1/S2, so if it fitted your old car, there is no reason why it wont fit the new one (with the same mods of course)

well i think the front is a bit lower easy lik 1/2 inch but the back isnt so i think stock springs needed and then a roll. they are back with there rightfull owner i should never have sold them in the first place they are to sexy with the silver paint :P

soooo if anyone has some stock front springs laying around they wouldnt mind selling/giving me you know what to do ^_^

    • Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.
    • Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
    • Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds
