Hey all

I have a R33 GTR and a set of work XD9s 18 x 10 +18. the biggest widest and smallest offset XD9s you can get. But they are a bit to sunken for my liking.

I'm thinking of running spacers to make it flush.

But can you run staggered size spacers front to back? I know the tyre / running diameter must be the same, but can you stagger spacers?

As the rear could use a 10mm but the front could go 15mm to maybe 20mm?

Also can someone recommend good quality, safest spacers avaliable?

Thanks

i know what your saying, I've given up on offset on my R33 gtr , did have 10mm spaces just on the back, and didn't upset anything.

Don't think I'd go as far 20mm unless your going a bolt on, thats a lot of thread to lose in your wheel nut..

funny someone said ebay,

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEOTECH-NISSAN-5-Stud-114-3-20mm-Bolt-Wheel-Spacers-/140822782086?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item20c9b12086

these are the ones I ran front and back on my R34 GTR V-SPEC II for 3 trackdays and nearly 10 months without an issue and they still look as good as the day I got them

only rolling diameter will upset the 4WD system, so you will be ok, ONLY GET BOLTON SPACERS and make sure they a torqued on propely

any idea on the torque specs used? same as the stock lug nugs need?

When i was looking into spacers, Alot were sugesting its the speed of ratation that helps keep the wheels from falling off, Not soley on the nuts. Not sure in the truth in that.

Though, Tourqe the spacers, go for a drive, See if anything has come loose, then id be checking a week later or so just for peice of mind!!

When i was looking into spacers, Alot were sugesting its the speed of ratation that helps keep the wheels from falling off, Not soley on the nuts. Not sure in the truth in that. there is some truth to this, but as wheels rotate in a different direction from side to side that would suggest that one side would tighten and the other would untighten, on my last truck it had right and left hand threads, one for each side for this reason, my current truck does not

Though, Torque the spacers, go for a drive, See if anything has come loose, then id be checking a week later or so just for piece of mind!! exactly what I was going to say

always use bolt on spacers not slip on, reason is then there is only one slip point ( the flat surface where hub and wheel meet ) the each set of studs have to secure not two

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
