i dont want bolt on hub adaptors

http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/167822-warning-aluminium-wheel-spacers.html

but id like the maximum spacer that can still provide enough thread for safety reasons. a friend said 10mm is too much, what you recon is max

before i new much about offsets and sizes everyone said 10.5 +15 was max for gtr

=weak!

ive researched threads. there all about standard wheels etc.

also. im talking about spacers (that go on original thread)

the ones where you bolt to your threads and provides a new thread is called hub adaptors. seriously how do people call them the same thing there far from it

oo interesting.. thanks for the info mate.

only reason im wanting this is my mate in s15 has some serious stance with work meisters and it makes my wheels look like there hiding from society lol

id like to just to have a bit more stance. as the rears camber it sits well inside the guard. if it was allowed to do different offset id even put 15mm hub adaptor on back

You want to run flush or poke fitment?

I remember seeing your GTR and I think a slip on would do you just fine, just to fill it out flush.

Come to this months SAU Monthly GC meet and I will show you the slip on spacers.

Rolling diameter needs to be the same.

People have different preferences on how they want the car to sit.

Front slightly more offset than the rear even.

Yes, that's right!

Due to GTR's being 4WD need to have the same rolling diametre all round (hence the same wheel width) or your tyres will be staggered and then you start stressing the Centre Transfer Case (from memory).

What's your mate running on the S15?

Properly made bolt on spacers are the ONLY safe way to do it.

That link is just a case of someone buying some cheap china shit off ebay and getting caught out. No point getting caught up in the paranoia because of one tightass

I ran bolt on spacers on my GTR for 6 months, prior owner for 4 years - track driven regularly.

i called OTR they use concave concept. there black and they look beef!! but approx 75 each adaptor.

well i looked at my car the back might need to be lipped which i dont really want to do. the front wouldnt fit 15mm, 5mm would probably be max on the front but as the back cambers id go 15mm for sure

which makes my next question..

has anyone run a 18x10.5 + 0 on the back ? with or without lipping guards

my mate got his guards lipped and slightly flared, 18inch meisters x10 on back +18 i think, with camber. absolutely insane oh my

youse have to see stance to appreciate it photos dont do justice

yeh your exactly right. talking to OTR the concept are fully engineered, not the crap from ebay thats dirt cheap. i wouldnt sacrafice my safety for saving money especially on moving objects

    • Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.
    • Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
    • Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds
