Before some pretentious ass tells me to buy rims that fit with the right offest, they're sweet jap rims at a good price and unfortunately i don't earn enough to buy new.

Anyway I'm getting some rims for my skyline, want some pro fitment for it and they are;

Front 17x8 +40 215/40 would like them flush

Rear 17x9 +40 215/40 want them sitting out of the guards a bit

Cheers mate

Ive got +40 up front on my R33 GTST with 235 tyres and a 5mm spacer. They do NOT sit flush and there really is not more thread to hold onto.

I don't trust those bolt on spacers. Id get longer studs fitted and a proper spacer made to suit your car.

I can't stand running spacers. I hate it, I don't trust it but unfortunately I don't have the $ to get wheels to fit so I just left them on the car.

I know you said it in your first line but honestly man just wait for the right set of wheel to show up. You can get defected for running spacers and depending how big they are you aren't going to have much thread to grab onto.

how far in do they sit? i'm getting bolt on spacers

Far enough in you can't see them at all when looking from the ass end of the car.

30mm spacer lol. I've got 5mm(pass brakes by 2mm) and I'm hating it. I get what, 5 turns onto the lug.

The spacers he'd be looking at, would have studs in them and nuts to bolt them on to the cars hub. Spidertrax_whs_011.jpg

You don't want massive long studs with 30mm slip on style spacers; it's too much load on the studs, flexing them. 10-15mm slip ons would be about the maximum IMO. A bolt on spacer is a much better alternative; but only hubcentric ones.

Sarge; Not looking to insult or offend you; but 5 threads is nowhere near enough to hold a wheel on; you'll just pull the thread out of the nuts, and chuck a wheel.

As a fitter, I have always used 1.5 times the diameter of the thread as an acceptable amount of thread engagement. So on a M12 x 1.25 wheel stud; 18mm is optimum. At least aim for 12-15mm.

Please go to Repco and buy yourself some longer wheel studs before something terrible happens. It'll cost you $60 and an afternoon on the driveway.

25mm front 30mm rear bolt on spacers, you should be able to find a set of ford Pre AU to AU adapters on the cheap as theyre very common.

having said that, im running 19x10 in a +22, with an additional 35mm bolt on to get the look i want on the rear, with offset less is definitely more ;)

it will never happen dont bother.

Minimum tyre width for 9in is 235.

based on what ?

for the front to sit "close" to flush you'll need about 30mm spacers

dont encourage such stupid ideas billy!

bloke needs to save up and buy decent size wheels they are freakin honda spec rims.

im running 225 on my 9 inch. and it looks fat.

and you only need 20 or 25 to sit fluch as ive got 25 and they sit abit past the guards, i have also just ordered 55mm :D

just make sure you roll the guards well so no scrubbage occurs.

      Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?

      That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc.

      Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?

      Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...

      R34 auto to manual conversion help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
