If the spacers you are running have the little lip they wont fit on standard Nissan rims.

I had some bolt on spacers and R32 gtst rims wouldnt fit.

I just modified the spacer to fit.

To be honest i would stay away from floating spacers.

No lip, they're flat

Trouble is, there aren't any bolt on 3 or 5mm. They are all floating and have 77mm or bigger ID's.

Designed to fit all cars / universal.

I wish someone would make them model specific.

Even hub rings won't work with a 3 or 5mm, hub rings are tapered and thicker.

I guess you just visually centre them.

I might accurately mark the mount of my wheels and stick the spacers to the wheels, then have them balanced.

I'm also going to grind away my Upper Control Arms a bit for extra clearance, depending on how tight it is, I might not need the spacers.

18 9.5 +30 hits on full lock on R33 GTS-T , 5mm spacer clears UCA with about 2-3mm

I'm thinking 3mm spacer and a shave.

I see why most people don't like them though.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
