hi everyone,

Just got a new set of work wheels with supposedly correct offset for a 34GTT. The wheel in question are the fronts (18x8 +35). Had brake caliper clearance issues (standard nissan calipers) and have put 5mm spacers in the front. They have now cleared the calipers but only by a hairs length! I shit you not when I say a hairs length! Wheel shop told me if they did not hit in the first place they will never do. but today under slight heavy breaking it scraped ever so slightly. I'm thinking 10mm bolt on hub adaptors...are these legal and how hard is it to find a 10mm one? Any input would be much appreciated.

Cheers

I thought an offset of +35 should be alright for gtst? Hmm... maybe it's the design of the wheel. I had the same issues when i bought my wheels, with offset +38. Had to use bolt on wheel adaptors as wheel spacers are too dangerous. I think you can probably buy them from some tyre stores. Give me a PM if you can't find any, I'll put you in touch with the place where I bought them from. :rolleyes:

Thanks zigenGT,

yes +35 on an 8inch wide wheels would normally be correct but because of the design of these spokes they hit the calipers. Yes I know spacers are not legal, they were more a quick fix to get the car on the road, hence my question on bolt on hub adaptors...are they legal? Zigengt, what size adaptors did you use n how much did they cost?

Thanks again for the replys.

I bought 25mm bolt on adaptors :rolleyes: They cost $80 each fitted. Have driven 7 months no problems at all.

What car u driving? I'm thinking 25mm may be too much for a 34GTT....do 10mm ones exist? fitting a 25mm hub adaptor would make an existing wheel with +35 become +10??? Someone correct me if i'm wrong...

You cannot get 10mm bolt-on's because it needs to be wide enough to allow for the extra bolts.

PM me if you are after some spacers, I can get 20mm, 25mm or 30mm they are $85 each

Merlin,are u refering bolt on adaptors tht you can get or spacers? Want to stay away from spacers if i can. The 5mm ones only cost me $10 each....

My offset is +38. I was concerned the wheels might look too wide but the flush along the guards :)

Do the calipers have NISSAN cast on the top, if so file the letters off and that will gain you a couple of mil extra clearance.

hehe, I was running a set of rims on the rearonce, which were so close it shaved the paint off the "NISSAN" letters!!!!!

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
