hi all,

im considering a set of starcorp wheels for my r32gtr which are 19inch diameter with 265's all around, they have spacers which i'd guess are probably 15mm front & rear.

are these things dangerous as i dont like the idea of running them, but then again if its nothing to worry about...why not :P

im running over 400kw btw

regards

Proper bolt on spacers that locate - no problem.

My R33 GTR has them, pushes the factory R33 GTR wheels out nicely to fill the guards up - fixing Nissan's fail :P

Car is fine, and it has done a lot of track work by the previous owner.

great!

thanks for the feedback

what is wrong with starcorp wheels :)

I've always thought about putting some 10mm spacers on the car just to pump the wheels out that slight bit but was always a bit worried regarding spacers....

However I did come across a good thread a while back here that goes into good detail regarding spacers:

Bolt on spacers are not illegal - since when are they?

They will pass an engineers far as i am aware as long as they locate.

I drive my 350rwkw GTR with spacers, there is NO issue what so ever.

The car has done over 10 track days, DECA/Motorkhana's etc etc before i owned it abd has been fine for 2 years possibly longer.

They are being used on factory R33 GTR wheels to fill the guards/better track, so its not about buying "better" fitting wheels, its making them fit fine and safely

I had Police defect me the other day for tyres, and had a good look @ the whole wheel setup and said nothing.

(they were wrong, the tyres i have are actually legal, but meh, no point arguing when there was no fine/RWC involved and an officer thats clearly uneducated)

you wont get a roady with spacers bolt ons or slip ons. If you have a smart cop (rare but becoming more common) they will do you for it.

Yeah well see i'm in a similar situation, I wouldn't mind some spacers just to fill the guards a bit more. I purchased my wheels second hand from a good friend for a great price so the offset wasn't that big of a concern. But for a cheapish price to get a slightly better stance I keep thinking about it...

What particular brand are your ones, or you not sure?

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
