Hello SAU,

I was looking at getting some 25mm and 20mm spacers for my car but I'm unsure of the different types of spacers.

Of course, I would be looking at hub-centric ones with a bore of 66.1mm but it's the different brands, quality and such that I am worried about.

So, is there much difference between the SRI ones from Just Jap, NeoTech from eBay or are there any other cheap brands which are termed "good"?

Thanks :)

Id go Jap where possible.

is it really an area you want to cheap out in. Just jap ones look alright. i would personally avoid Ebay however it all comes down to personal choice and budget.

Let me know what you find, i might be after a set for new gtr with standard wheels once bought.

I dont get why everyone gets so excited about spacers? Everyone keeps saying my car needs spacers and more low... But it handles fine and is legal, so why?

Not trying to Hijack your thread or take away its purpose, but noticed you have a 34GTR so you may be able to shed some light for me :)

Practicality vs show/look/presence

its the age old debate.

just like i dont "needdd" 18" wheels but i wanted them. my arguement is 18 with 265's was better traction, safer, looked meaner and gave the car a tough presence.

in the end its His money, His car, His choice. he asked a question for the sake of an answer.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
