Nissan is 114.3

the only one you will be able to manage is the last option, and it will almost certainly have to be custom.

The only way you can change from 4 to 5 is to keep the PCD the same (e.g. 4x114.3 to 5x114.3, which I think you can get without going custom).

If you want to change the PCD, you need to keep the number of studs the same.

Sonofabitch... so I'd need one of these http://www.vollks.com.au/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=192_210&products_id=3149 to change the number of studs, then another adapter to go from 5 x 130 to 5 x 114.3 ?

...SD spec spacer thickness by the time it's done :(

Also dodgy as f*ck...

Guy on the 31 club did it, 4-5 stud converters and then 5x114.3 to 5x120 or something. So not cool. Funniest thing is he bought the wheels brand new, and they were available in a perfect offset and stud pattern so that he wouldn't have needed ANY spacers. He just ordered completely the wrong thing. :P

nah, if your talking VW which it seems. go see Sherman conversions on the gold coast, he can sort you out with any stud pattern you like, drilled off fresh rotors or drums (not so sure on the drums)

this way you can avoid pushing your offset out further than it already is (which in a beetle is already way to far standard :angry:)

my brothers Bug has a set of commo pursuities on it.....:whistling: but he got his as a kit from the states, all wheel disk brakes and all that shiney new car jazz, in the stud pattern of his choice.

Porsche is also more expensive, as the studs are apparently entirely different to any other car and cost a small fortune.

*and dropped spindles are the way :worship:

Ooooo, now this sounds promising. So does that mean I can get away without a hub conversion? I'd like to put newer VW rims on an older one, so getting it to 5x100 would be the one I'm most keen on.

Have been looking at drop spindles, but they look pretty costly :(

have to be custom made from 2 sets of standard spindles.

So not sure of the exact price but you've got to find a second set of spindles, and then pay for the custom job. So not cheap.

spindles check out the whole web site man...silly cheap prices. whole disc brake + spindle kits for less than 500 bucks........seems a bit too cheap

cheaper than chips apparently, only just found this site. never knew it existed before.

as for the Beetle 5-4 stud, not sure how that goes for just swapping rotors. normally this is only a by-product of upgrading your brakes on an old one. and all disc brake bugs are 4 stud. so discs are def the way to go as it will prob only cost a little more, Sherman will be able to help you either way. give him a call, he'll be able to sort you out.

Been perusing Vollks for the past few days. Some cool stuff there! Already looking at interior bits and pieces, because I bet that will be needed.

Pretty much set on a super, as I think I've hooked myself on that blower idea :wub: so discs will already be the go on the front. Just want more choice for wheels.

ewwww super :sick:, but yay for discs. yeah man, with the super you should just be able to get new rotors and drums drilled to suit whatever you like.

supers also have coilovers on the front, not this silly torsion bar nonsense. which costs alot more to lower and fiddle with.

There's nothing wrong with supers! Especially when you want to modify a bug but don't want to hurt an older one :)

      Use a 2' length of hose (that's 2 foot, not 2 inches) as a stethoscope to localise the source of the ticking. From cam covers? From exhaust or turbo manifold gasket? From injectors? From lower down in the engine? Etc. Use a timing light to set the timing. Put Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the box. It's not the very best thing for the box, but it will take a box that refuses to engage a gear with other oil, and make it engage a gear. I had to put it in when I installed the R33 box I have in my car. It would not select ANY gear when running. Smurf jizz made it work. That was >10 years ago and I still use it. I'm stuck with it now. Failing that - rebuild the box.

      Well done Duncan. The fuel tank bulkhead lid is also in great condition (some of mine were stuffed). These are now out of production and good ones like that are becoming hard to come by.

      Howdy all,   I had my rb25det S2 rebuilt and finally started it today but have run into a few issues  Engine sounds like a a diesel easiest way to summarise like small ticking, gets louder when revs are slightly adjusted  The engine builder repainted the engine cover leaving no where for me to go off with lining up the CAS so have it as central as possible so not sure it that could be affecting it?, changed the gearbox fluid too but won’t seem to go into gear when running, and only 1 to 4 when off having a hard time finding 5th and reverse anyone got any ideas or a base for me to start off? much appreciated
