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

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
