Hi forum

I'm new to forums and new to Nissan skylines and GTRs, so please bare with me.

I'm looking to purchase an R34 GTR very shortly.

But I can't help but study the cons and pros, reviews and details of the car first.

My first question in this forum.

Q.)Does the BNR34 have wheel spacers listed on paper as a factory oem option?

Because I've heard in In Australia, it is illegal (as well as many many other goodies) to have wheel spacers.

Unless it is stated in writing that it is a factory option. Ie , I've heard some Porsche models have it listed

as an option, and since it does. Engineers can comply it without a doubt.

Could someone clarify this please?

Also

I'm sure alot of people enjoy things regardless of its legality anyways.

So, what is a good size for bnr34 or if anyone has them on this car, please shed some light.

Thanks

Not legal, some vehicles come standard with them but not Nissan, if you do use spacers for trackdays or other motorsport events ensure they are hub centric bolt on and not slip on.

I have 20mm bolt on spacers on my 34 GTR and makes car look heaps better, but if I did it again i would use the 25mm ones for clearence reasons with the stock studs, I thought bolt on ones are legal and the slip on one are not, but I could be wrong

i suppose 5 mm won't make that much of a difference?

i think both the slip on or hubcentric bolt ons are both Illegal..period.

its just a shame, seeing people in the UK and USA with BOV, Turbo timers, loud exhausts, lowered vehicles, neons..roll cages, heavily modified cars etc having fun... where, were banned from any luxuries.

anyhow... i suppose The nissan manufacturer brochure did not indicate wheel spacers as a factory option?

    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
    • As per title.. has anyone used so far? Keen to hear results, comparisons. In the market for a new mani for my new turbo. Any issues cracking?
    • Re read everything that has been written about this in this thread.. Let us know if you're still confused.
    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
