lol bad offset for a skyline. To be completly honest that offset is probably more suited to say a pulsar. You will want spacers. Even if the wheels fit they will not be the best looking fitment. Yer about +38 is factory i think. I run 30 mm spacers behind my 9.5 +38 driftecs currently

5x114.3 correct spacing!

ah thats okay then.

Have a look at the offset calculator on http://www.carbibles.com/tyre_bible_pg4.html

+53 and +38 (assuming same tyre size)

The edge of the new tyre will be 14mm closer to the inside of the wheel well and suspension components, and 14mm further in from the edge of the bodywork.

So im assuming you would need 14mm spacer to bring it out to stock offset. +30 will give you a flush stance on r32's (and possible cause scrubbing depending on suspension setup). So I would assume you would need a 27mm spacer?

Someone verify the above.

edit; fyi. wheel spacers are illegal and can cause more stress on the thread if they are not bolt-on type. You may also have wheel balancing issues if they arent hub-centric spacers.

Rekin, don't think you've got it entirely right mate. In your calculations you haven't factored in the width of rims. 16x6.5 +40 are your stock GTS-t wheel specs. 16x8 +53 will stick out 6mm more than your stock wheel specs, however the inside of the rim will sit 32mm closer and I'm guessing this will then be hitting your suspension.

Try this offset calculator instead: http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

I think more to the point, where and why did you find a rim that has +53 offset?

In my opinion you'd be better off looking at something like 17x8 +25 and 17x9+30.

they are ssr mesh rims, very old school. picked them up at a great price so just trying to make them work. i wil of course be using bolt on spacers, and the car will be certified (you can get away with more in nz anyway). not sure where the actual rim came from where they'd be usinga 53 offset, never seen that sort of number before tbh!

So just wondering what spacer thickness i need to clear the brakes on the front without sticking out of the guards. from what i;ve read in here, a 25mm spacer should be appropriate?

any other opinions?

cheers for all your help everyone.

calculator using a 25mm spacer says that i lose 2mm of clearance with the strut, and the wheel will extend out towards teh guard edge by 36mm

might fit under the guard, barely, might need to do a little flaring or rolling.

does everyone agree?????? i know the 53 was a bad offset to choose, but i love the wheel and it was a very very sharp price.

yeah you're right, my mistake! Forgot to factor in the width! Cheers for clearing that up

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
