Hi fellas,

My R33 GTR is currently running LENSO D1R Wheels.

Offsets are 18x8.5 front and 18x10 on the rear.

I recently bought some wheels spacers and they're just wrong. The stud pattern appears to be wrong and is too long so they just won't fit.

Your help urgently would be much appreciated...

Please advise which of the following spacers would fit perfectly? Thank you so much in advance.

Also, is having different size spacers on the rear and front bad or is it still ok? I was thinking of going 20mm at the fronts and 25mm on the rears.

Just looking at those spacers, they don't specify Nissan in the suitable vehicles list. Be careful of this, because even if the stud pattern of the spacer is the same as the hub, the hub centre itself may not be...so all the pressure/weight will be on the wheel bolts and spacer bolts instead of the hub centre = not good.

I have JJR spacers.

They are hubcentric so are a perfect fit.

Depending on the width of the spacer used and the recess (if any) between the wheel mounting holes you MAY need to cut your studs shorter.

Most good aftermarket wheels you'll be fine, but my 34R wheels required it.

Hi fellas, thanks for all your help...I really appreciated it...I ended up order 2 pairs from Ebay from some manufacturer based in NZ. Only because these looked more heavy duty and were factory painted black which matched my rims. The JustJap ones look good too but are silver which would stand out and would be a easy target for the cops to defect.

I've opted for more width at the front because I have a staggered offset. I know it's not recommended for GTRs being AWD, but it has not posed any issues for me yet and it's not that I race it at the track or anything so all good so far.

Cheers.

I thought all spacers were illegal, but then, I heard new information yesterday that the bolt-on spacers are legal...it's the plates that simply sit on the hub which aren't?

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
