Hi guys,

Ive been going through the G35Driver site and see lots of cars with Wheel spacers, i thought it would be a nice touch since im a little strapped for cash i think it would be a good/effective mod.

Firstly i was in AutoBarn today and saw 10mm spacers hanging for around $30bucks a pair, i asked and he said they were universal, which is a down point already, but i wanted to know if anyone had them, what they look like and where you got them from in Australia?

Thanks!

Iv used wheel spacers on my old 180sx although that was only because my wheels were touching the R33 4 pot callipers. One thing to remember though using slip on spacers is going to place more load on the end of the wheel studs. Having said that I went to a few drift and sprint days without any issues.

Its also a defect to have spacers as well

my wheels are stock so they don't attract a lot of attention, plus i don't think our V35s are completely on the police radars.

so where did you get your spacers from?...and were they specific to your vehicle?

erm.. u can get it easy, but just remind u, it is not a problem with cops that u should be worried, it's insurance.

SAU do got a lot of traders, i believe there must be someone/shop selling..

SUPPORT SAU TRADERS!! (i think they do pay some sort for our benefit?)

i bought the ICHIBA Spacers from the USA from one of the websites which sell the car parts. ended up costing me about $180 AUD landed at the time.

These are high quality spacers.

I got the 10mm Slip on hubcentric spacers which also come with the correct length wheel studs. they are very safe and there is no vibration whatsoever at high speeds. they are made of a lightweight magnesium alloy. they are packaged and look exactly the same as a set of H&R spacers i bought some years ago. they are not universal but specifcally drilled for the 5 x 114.3 and also the wheel studs are 1.25mm which needed to be specified.

all in all excellent purchase, would def. recommend them to anyone who wants slip on spacers.

Just quoting tire size is of no use to whether you need camber or not. Quote your wheel width and offsets will give us a better indication. Also if it's not rubbing your guards or fouling any other body part then you prob don't need any additional camber. I had super streets on my 34 and did not need camber tops as it was only a daily driver and did not scrub the guards. Hope that helps.

sorry, bad at these.. front width 8.5, rear 9.5, offset +35. Now rubbing guard now and the coilover will b put on this saturday, but believe wont have rubbing.. If will, will just roll it that day.

wondering, super street can be set to comfy daily drive, rite?

I believe its the diameter of the "bolt" on which you place your wheels...so the nuts which fasten your rims will fit!

hmm, "they have to be specified" i used to think it was a universal size.

they have to be specified of course they do, because when you are buying these wheel spacers they are not universal.

they COME WITH LONGER WHEEL STUDS to replace your stock ones

if you get 1.5mm studs, your 1.25 stock wheel nuts wont fit

recently i bought some aftermarket wheel nuts (rays) and the guy gave me 1.5mm by accident, i had to take them back and get the 1.25mm because the 1.5 of course did not screw on properly at all.

Okay thanks for that so wouldn't all our V35s be 1.25mm?

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By R34_GT to Turbo · Posted

      Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
