What are the best value and what do they cost? Next question where is the best place to buy them?

Also am going to need to run 10mm spacers with my new wheels. So will need spacers, i assume they must be bolt on. So is a there a good place for longer wheel studs or dont i need them for the bolt on type?

Bolt on type dont need longer studs (you might even have to cut them shorter if your wheel doesn't have the recesses in the back), but I dont think they make 10mm bolt ons, not enough meat to hold the studs. The thinnest I've seen is 15mm with 20mm being much more common. Just Jap sell the 15mm ones and they are hub centric which is helpful :D

Troy,

I was chasing some hub centric bolt-on 10mm spacers for my gtst. Unfortunately 10mm is too thin for the bolts to be sunk into the spacer and are therefore unavail. The thinest bolt-on spacer I could find was a 15mm one from Kudos MS on these forums.

As for the wheel nuts....I'm using a set of Rays Daytona which are a hollow type (can see how much thread is being used) and have a rotating ring at the part that meets the rims which stops any damage being done to the rim if you over torque the nuts.

Cheers

So if i have a +40 wheel and need it to be +30 your telling me im stuffed?

For a bolt on spacer I'm afraid so.....you can get 10mm dodgy plate spacers though

Will the extra 5mm (ie 15mm bolt on type) really make a difference?

basically for 10mm spacer your only option is slip on. there are 2 types. the cheap arse ones, and the nice alloy ones that have an extra hub lip on them. either one is 'ok' but obviously one type is better! for 10mm spacers, I'd get 10mm longer studs too (well nismo make ones that are either 8mm longer, or 18mm longer). If you go bolt on you wont need new studs but you will almost certainly have to cut down your old ones which means they wont be any good if you want to take the spacers off again. but of course 15mm is the smallest bolt on spacer around. the nicest ones I've seen are the rays daytona ones. will have a look in the rays catalogue when i get home.

oh, and the daytona nuts are the shiznit! plus from memory they are 17mm hex which is handy if you have narrow 'holes' in your wheels which can make 19mm nuts a biatch.

I've got the other version of the Ray's nuts, but the extended long version so I could fit them over long studs if need be (ie taking spacers off). They're nice :D

Paid $200 for them new, but from a 'private' seller who had a few sets.

NISMO sells the 7-sided extended long version Lock-nuts

I bought a set when I was in their OMORI factory, basically all 20 of them are 7-sided lock nuts that would fit long studs.

They also have the racing version which has hollow centres.

      Um. No. Since Matt introduced the TIM it has become a lot easier to deal with the consequences of changing K for AFM and injector swaps. Then, tuning is a f**king doddle. No-one needs to know or care how many grams of air are flowing or any other bullshit. Need more fuel in a cell? Add more fuel. Need more timing in a cell. Add more timing. Need to adjust any of the other tables for warm up and so on? No harder than anything else. Sure - it's not an ECU system for starting from scratch on an arbitrary engine. But then.....it was never supposed to be, not recommended for, and almost never used that way. So.... On your engine, in particular, Nistune/Nissan OEM is about as sophisticated and difficult as banging 2 rocks together. Those ECUs are primitive and simple. There is nothing difficult there. I learnt Nistune from scratch, created new maps with extended axes, interpolated/extrapolated the original maps onto them and tuned my RB20 (basically the same ECU as your 26 ECU) all by myself, more than 20 years ago. And that was long before even TIM.

      Set of knee pads for a R34. Will fit every model I think. Comes with everything except the rubber covers for the bolt holes. Still in great condition. You will need to drill holes to mount these or use double sided tape. I can do free shipping and will be shipping from the Netherlands with tracking.

      Nistune needs something like an entire excel spreadsheet in which you build an abstraction layer that converts everything from real units you can actually measure into all of the various tables. The number of unexpected dependencies hiding in how the Nissan ECUs do math is a pretty impressive optimization trick for 8-bit MCUs but good god is it awful to actually work with in practice.
