Hi guys,

I've done a search but can't find what i'm looking for...

I wanna space my rear wheels out 20 or 30mm. I don't wanna cut the factory studs, coz i'll eventually get some sweeet wheels and not need spacers anymore.

Can I use 25mm spacers and not have to cut studs? If that's no good, would 30mm work? I'm going to get them from Just Jap, unless you guys have a better recommendation?

If u do have to cut them make sure u have the wheel nuts on the studs against the rotor before u cut. That way after u cut the stud u can wind the nut off and it will rethread the cut end back to normall

Hey guys, just posting up in case it helps anybody in future.

I put the 25mm spacers on the back. Car looks sooo much better now, like the way it's supposed to be, rather than inset wheels (i have 18x8 +30).

I didn't even realise it, but my wheel had heaps of space for the studs between each mounting point, so i could even run like 10mm bolt on spacers and with 15mm of stud protruding, it wouldn't be a problem. So if anybody else is thinking of doing this, check your wheels like was mentioned in this thread :)

      The R32 suffers from an instrument binnacle that is uncomfortably close to the design of a VN Commodore's. But beyond that, the layout of the rest of everything, and the materials (ie the vinyl coverings on dash, armrest, etc) are acceptable, and the patterns on the fabrics are not as blergh as those in the R33. And R33 seats are....quite unattractive. I know it's only small details there, but I reckon the R33 got worse than the 32. But the big blergh is the overall shape of the dash on the R33. It's just has that whole Maxima/Pulsar sort of look to it. Nothing special at all. Generic Nissan sedan. Whereas, at least the R32 dash/binnacle was different. Less a wide expanse of boringly curved plastic. More a "cockpit" sort of look, even if nowhere near to the degree that the A90 Supras got. R34 seats look good on their own, until you realise that they are indistinguishable from the shape and fabric on 70 other Japanese cars. And the foam bolsters on them suffer even worse than the earlier cars. Other than that I don't really have an opinion the rest of the R34 interior. I took the bits of the R34 I wanted (brakes and engine) and added them to the best external appearance Skyline in the modern era (the 32). So nyerr!

      Can I be your first customer? I would like hard lines done for the fuel system, 8AN up and 8AN back and the underside wire wheeled and coated (brush or sprayed) with that black tar shit.

      Speak for yourself, I love the R33 interior. 32 is blergh. I like the 34 interior too. Then you start getting much newer in most cars and they all turn back to blergh. 馃槢

      500-600hp into a RB is already 'sinking endless amounts of money' into an engine. Especially a 30 year old engine. Unfortunately this is the RB Game. Considering stock power (or at least stock components) will do ~360whp on 98 by simply turning up the boost on the stock gear on a RB26, that would be where I'd say the cutoff point for "sinking endless amounts of money into the engine" Cause to even do this reliably you'd probably need to replace all the bits anyway cause they're old, starting your sinking journey anyway. I reckon the least painful way is rebuilding the engine to make 50hp over stock lol. The 'plan your ownership around a rebuild' was a common saying 15 years ago.
