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.

Ah, dumb question but what do you mean by 1.25mm studs?

sorry to change the topic a little..

just go my wheels and not sure if i need camber top to adjust a little. Any ideas guys?

they are 235/35/R19 front and 265/30R19 rear.. te37 bronze..

lowering with tein super street coilover..

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?

Cheers

yeh they are all 1.25mm

all nissans are 1.25mm i think (dont hold me on that one)

the thing is just when u order these from overseas websites you have to state your thread size

ill show you the spacers at the meetup if your in sydney

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
