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!!!!!

    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
