I too have this question My S2 came with some nice Volk racing wheels and they say they have a +30 offset but they also have about a 30mm adapter which I believe is illegal if the offset is correct why is it that they need the spacer also the wheels have a totally different stud pattern to the car it seems like the spacers may be made for the wheels, could this make them Legal ?

The wheel sticker you have shown says the stud pattern is 5H 114.3 which is the same as the stagea, so they are they same stud pattern

At a guess is your car a manual?

18x8 +30 will fit fine if it is a "auto" as the rear track is wider by 50mm than a manual

If your car is a "manual" than it has the narrower track rear end, so the spacers will make the wheels sit out further so they fit (clear they rear shocks) and look better by filling the guards out

Any spacer is illegal

If you are worried about it, sell the rims and get a lower offset wheel.

Hi Thanks for that and yes it is a Manual, I tried to fit them without the spacers but the stud pattern was different ? they are closer together than the Cars hubs

Also who would buy them if they are Illegal ?

That is strange the wheel stud pattern will not fit without the spacers

Are the wheels multi stud pattern, ie do they have 10 holes?

Sell the spacers seperatly to the wheels

Many people mod their cars and not worry about it being legal

Not sure who would do that thou :D

Early Volk Jap wheels had small (approx 5/100) bolt pattern + big positive offset and then spacers/adaptors to suit different vehicle bolt pattern's.

Seen a staggered set of subaru wheels like this and personally replaced a set on a supra.

ok, new wheels are FINALLY on.. yet to get it wheel aligned so still some tweaking to do

s14 cradle fitted in the rear with cusco adjustables all round, cusco arms up front too

standard metal guards lipped but not flared

why is the track on manuals narrower?

does this mean 'shorter' drive-shafts?

what other shafts fit?

thanks

just wondering why you put the 14 cradle in?

was it a straight bolt in?

any other things you had to change to do this?

thanks

A s14 craddle is the same width as the stagea manual cradle.

The main difference is the S14,S15 and R33 GTS (non turbo) cradles do not have Hicas, so it is the best ones to use when reusing as much as possible of the stagea auto rear end.

Generally you change it to get the narrower rear track so it matches the front end and you can fit better wider and lower offset wheels.

Drive shaft length is shorter. Stagea have 3 different styles plus 2 different tail shafts. So use either skyline or s14/15 that suits your cars diff bolt pattern

The reason the manual has the narrower track is nissan was saving money and reused the rear end out of r33 GTR's. The manual also has stronger drive shafts etc, hence nissan used these in manual stagea's

Mike can fill in what he had to do to make this work.

nice thanks for that!

so stageas do not have hicas?

so manual stageas have the diff and driveshaft out of the 33 gtr, ie. big 6 bolt half/drive shafts?

doesnt the gtr diff have hicas also though?

"So use either skyline or s14/15 that suits your cars diff bolt pattern" : do you mean half shalf bolt pattern or tailshaft bolt pattern?

thanks!

=)

darrin pretty much answered everything

i went s14 cradle myself because my car does not have hicas, and i didn't want to fit a manual stagea cradle that has it (means i can run aftermarket adjustabletoe rods, which i am)

the part you have put in quotation marks, he is talking about half shaft bolt pattern. the gtr rear end is a 6x1 bolt from memory, s14/s14 is 3x2 bolt and r33 is 5x1 bolt (which i am using to match my 2 way diff in r33 housing)

My auto stagea series 2 had 5x1.

The stagea manual one I have now is 6x1

Both had the same diameter drive shafts

There is 2 different tail shaft sizes as well. My car had a fairly heavy looking one and a I was also given a much lighter one, but thru it in the bin

ive read all 15 pages and nobody has tried or is running 17x9+35. my 18x9+20 bbs rims are a perfect fit. im just wondering if the extra 15mm further inwards would make the wheel scrub on anything?? shocks, inner guards etc.??

that's 5mm less than an r33/34 gtr wheel. should be fine

    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
