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

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
