Huge thanx for the rims Luke, I can now stop boring my girlfriend with all the dif sizes and prices I keep seeing online and wishing I had

In true Awsam fashion though, and further proof even the simplest of things with cars for me are made difficult..

My jack handle snapped while putting the rims on, so my skyline is now stuck suspended until a mate cbf'd comming over with theirs lol

use your spare jack that should be in your boot.

ive done the same thing not to long ago with my sil.

Spare jack.. tick

jack handle... um.. where? lol

Doesn't matter now anyway, got a 4WD hydrolic lifter to put them on. Doesn't matter which R34 rim i put on the front, they scrape my calapers. Makes a disgusting clunking noise and messes with my steering real bad. The calaper has left a perfectly straight groove in the rim *sigh..

I'm about done with this skyline, all the simple things i've had done to it have turned into absolute nightmares, this car has me completely exhausted and I think the next thing that goes wrong I'm just gonna get rid of it and go back to driving my Calibra.

They hit the caliper? they cleared my brembo's and chad's stag. Thats odd.

Yeh was one rough ride man, I posted a thread about my problem. Maybe I have different calipers than I'm supposed to???

Maybe there's something wrong with my suspension, the front drivers side is a little spongey, and the tyer on the R34 rim seems to be touching the arm bit above the wheel very slightly every now and then.

thread has pics of the calipers, will post a pic of the groove left in the rim aswell

Hard to tell from the pic. I'll see if I've got a small spacer for you to fix it rubbing.

How's the vibration with a spacer on the front? I was going to take an angle grinder to the caliper and shave a couple of mil off LOL! f**kin take that!

This thread has the pic of the actual front caliper

My calibra has similar looking Calipers to the rear ones pictures in that thread, but on all 4. I thought maybe my 33 was supposed to have the same style rear ones all the way around also..

I didnt know the spacers were on all 4 wheels when I bought it, and tbh I didnt notice a difference when they were off, so I can say confidently that if you bolt your wheels up tight, it wont be an issue

Hrmn I think I'm prob just going to have to do that. Will i need to put all 4 on? Rears sit perfect as is. Are spacers illegal in SA?

[Import S13]

yeah, both slip on and hub centric ones are illegal but paint them black and itll be harder to see.

also, depending how big of slip on spacer your get i would look into getting longer wheel studs but thats just me.

and if you use hub centric ones, get lock tight glue stuff that can be found at any car place like autobarn along with slip on spacers

hub spacers can be bought at wheelworx if your wanting them.

luke, remeber taking my 34 rims off my 33. they have some decent sized hub centric spacers on there to clear the brakes.

34 rims will also need spacers on a 32

To glue the spacer to the rim?

are slip on spacers illegal? my car passed regency with em both times. never even got mentioned whilst in there.

you use the lock tight on the bolts in the hubcentric spacers to make sure they dont come undone. they come with a different set of bolts. dont use hubcentric spacers with the 34 rims its not neccessary with the 34 rims as 5mm spacers will do the trick
