Hi everyone

I'm shopping around for 6mm hub centric (66.1) wheels spacers 4x114.3 . I've found a place who will make them for $90 but I want to find a cheaper price. There's a lot of non - hub centric spacers around for a lot less.

Know of any good deals?

you wont buy hub centric spacers that thin, 10mm will be the thinnest you will get, and as @niZmO_Man said GKTech. At the end of the day they will set you back $100 for the set off 4. Stud centric spacers are cheap for a reason. They are illegal and more dangerous.

@Nizmo_man I tried GKTech. They only sell 10mm and thinker.

OK but GK Tech 10mm are probably the best you can do off the shelf (although you will need longer studs). If you can get 4 made for $90 that is the same as Jaminds $40 for 2.

This whole conversation is hurting my head.  For a start, we're looking for a cheaper price than $90 for 4x spacers.  Are these being used on an R31?  Because only R31 owners are that busted arse broke that $90 seems like you should be searching for a cheaper price.

Then there's the thought that you can even make a 6mm spacer that will correctly locate on the hub centre behind it AND provide an equivalent hub lip on the front side.....the chances of which are pretty much f**k all anyway.

Then we have the thought that, "no matter, I'll just carry on as if I hadn't been told that" and keep seeing if there is a way to get them made in New f**king Zealand, and then pay for them to be shipped to Australia, and still expect them to be less than the $90 price obtained locally.

Oh.  My.  f**king. God!

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic

      If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
