wheel factory in qbn used to do them, not sure if they still do. bolt on ones anyway

The Wheel Factory is long gone, don't know if any tyre places sell them as they may not be legal. I saw some on Just Jap's site the other day, they have bolt ons 15/20/25mm and floating depending on how thick you want. Just be aware they may not be road legal (so paint them matt black or something). Another company stopped selling them a couple of years back for this reason.

Ive got news for you mate - the wheel factory is NOT long gone, they moved it to Fyshwick as it is a more central location and they have a better workshop... Its out the back of Jax Quickfit Fyshwick.

If you call Andrew or Tony there they will be able to hook you up with wheel spacers no problem at all.

By the way - bolt on spacers arent illegal if you have them engineered, however if you increase the track of the vehicle 14mm+ per side then they are illegal regardless of engineering or not, so be careful.

I was gonna get 25mm spacers for each side :(

So thats illegal then... meh, I can live with it. Cops probably wont notice right?

They probly will now :glare:

I have some of the Just Jap 25mm ones (4x114.3) and they seem pretty good quality. I bought 4 of them, but I cant use them on the front cos the inner hole diameter is too small for my hubs, but you guys shouldnt have that problem.

Thanks Mick, that is good news, I just hadn't heard anyone mention them since the shop closed in Qbn. Perhaps I just need to get out more often; fatherhood will do that.

I assume they're still doing repairs and all the necessary stuff that not many others did around here.

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      By pogman · Posted

      I much prefer that to an actual oil pressure issue, never would of thought it would of been a volt drop issue but SAU brains win again. Guess ill be turning down the oil pressure limit for the track and hunting some grounds. Ill hopefully update this thread with some high oil pressure and solid ecu voltage logs.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!

      That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect
