whats the go with the Crappy Spare wheel wont even fit over my brakes on my Type-M R32 GTST

WHats the point in a space saver wheel if it wont fit over the brakes.

anyone else have this problem...is it worth getting some spacers or something cos if i break down im stuffed...im carrying around extra weight for nothing.

This is not good... Umm anyway, apparently 16inch falcon pursuit rims will fit, AND cover the brakes. Im looking at getting one as a spare for my car, as I really dont like the idea of a space saver.

Yeah, last time i got a slow leak i used tyre weld or something which went well for a couple of weeks until i got new tyres. Problem is it won't fix a tear in the side wall.

You need to change a wheel front to back to use a space saver, i found that out on my old rx7.

yeah that sounds good...the space saver is useless....it didnt fit on the rear either...well i didnt want to forse it on cos i had just painted the brake calipers

Thats pretty rooted then. I had always assumed it'd fit the rear at the very least. Time to turf it in the name of weight reduction :P

Or put it on backwards for that deep dish look

hawker05.. the space savers fit on both front and back, so you've got one from another car... as for burn outs, I've seena few people use them and that actually last quite a long time.. hard rubber I guess...

Fit two on the back and go for a drive, quite entertaining, well, when you have 2x Skyline ones that fit...

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • 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
