Hi guys,

Ive been going through the G35Driver site and see lots of cars with Wheel spacers, i thought it would be a nice touch since im a little strapped for cash i think it would be a good/effective mod.

Firstly i was in AutoBarn today and saw 10mm spacers hanging for around $30bucks a pair, i asked and he said they were universal, which is a down point already, but i wanted to know if anyone had them, what they look like and where you got them from in Australia?

Thanks!

Iv used wheel spacers on my old 180sx although that was only because my wheels were touching the R33 4 pot callipers. One thing to remember though using slip on spacers is going to place more load on the end of the wheel studs. Having said that I went to a few drift and sprint days without any issues.

Its also a defect to have spacers as well

my wheels are stock so they don't attract a lot of attention, plus i don't think our V35s are completely on the police radars.

so where did you get your spacers from?...and were they specific to your vehicle?

erm.. u can get it easy, but just remind u, it is not a problem with cops that u should be worried, it's insurance.

SAU do got a lot of traders, i believe there must be someone/shop selling..

SUPPORT SAU TRADERS!! (i think they do pay some sort for our benefit?)

i bought the ICHIBA Spacers from the USA from one of the websites which sell the car parts. ended up costing me about $180 AUD landed at the time.

These are high quality spacers.

I got the 10mm Slip on hubcentric spacers which also come with the correct length wheel studs. they are very safe and there is no vibration whatsoever at high speeds. they are made of a lightweight magnesium alloy. they are packaged and look exactly the same as a set of H&R spacers i bought some years ago. they are not universal but specifcally drilled for the 5 x 114.3 and also the wheel studs are 1.25mm which needed to be specified.

all in all excellent purchase, would def. recommend them to anyone who wants slip on spacers.

Ah, dumb question but what do you mean by 1.25mm studs?

sorry to change the topic a little..

just go my wheels and not sure if i need camber top to adjust a little. Any ideas guys?

Just quoting tire size is of no use to whether you need camber or not. Quote your wheel width and offsets will give us a better indication. Also if it's not rubbing your guards or fouling any other body part then you prob don't need any additional camber. I had super streets on my 34 and did not need camber tops as it was only a daily driver and did not scrub the guards. Hope that helps.

sorry, bad at these.. front width 8.5, rear 9.5, offset +35. Now rubbing guard now and the coilover will b put on this saturday, but believe wont have rubbing.. If will, will just roll it that day.

wondering, super street can be set to comfy daily drive, rite?

I believe its the diameter of the "bolt" on which you place your wheels...so the nuts which fasten your rims will fit!

hmm, "they have to be specified" i used to think it was a universal size.

they have to be specified of course they do, because when you are buying these wheel spacers they are not universal.

they COME WITH LONGER WHEEL STUDS to replace your stock ones

if you get 1.5mm studs, your 1.25 stock wheel nuts wont fit

recently i bought some aftermarket wheel nuts (rays) and the guy gave me 1.5mm by accident, i had to take them back and get the 1.25mm because the 1.5 of course did not screw on properly at all.

Okay thanks for that so wouldn't all our V35s be 1.25mm?

Cheers

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
