hey guys

just wondering if anyone here can lead me in the right direction

i want to put 5 stud rims 5*114.3 wheels on my ceffy and unfortunately it does have a 4 stud pattern 4 *114.3 (i think)

does anyone know where i can get some bolt on spacers? i want pretty much the same as the skyline pattern

also would it be cheaper to get a conversion to a 5 stud?

any help would be good

www.garage-13.com i believe can help you with 5-stud conversions (and 4-5 stud spacers)

bolt on spacers are a bit dodgy, as they weaken everything. Not to mention illegal (for that very reason).

The advantage of 5-stud is that u get skyline brakes (go for r33, they are the best for the price), do ceffy's have a inner-drum brake for the handbrake or are they like s13? inner-drum handbrakes (like skylines have) lock up hard. they're great for drift!!

It will definately be cheaper to fit 4-5 stud conversion spacers than to do the full conversion. As far as safety is concerned....I have run bolt on spacers on my cars for quite a while, and even under the stress of drifting they have never posed a problem.

I will be having some conversion spacers made for my S13 very shortly, I will have them made of high grade aircraft aluminium and genuine nissan wheel studs to ensure that they have the appropriate strength.

I could possibly be convinced to organise for several of these to be made (eg: group buy).

Be warned, due to the quality of materials they will not be rediculously cheap. eg: prob APPROX $300-$350 per PAIR.

PM me if you are interested, as i will be doing this in the next couple of weeks.

Cheers

      I don't know that machine specifically, but I'd personally go for something with a little more kick than 130amp. Around up to 180 would be good. At the 6mm range, you're really pushing the machine hard and don't have a long period you can run for with out needing to give it a rest. Lots of MIG machines come with a regulator and hose. A lot will come with a starter roll of wire too, but it isn't too expensive to buy. I'd recommend NOT buying a massive roll too, as you don't want it sitting around FOREVER in the machine between uses and potentially going to shit. For thin sheet metal, get a roll of 0.6mm if you're doing over 3mm and above, switch over to 0.8mm wire. Even by 2mm you'd probably really want to switch. As for gas battle, it's all swap and go style now. You'll pay a bottle deposit, and then X amount to swap for a full one. I think it's like $200 or $300 for a D Size bottle upfront as "deposit", and like $110 to $150 per swap. My D size CO2/argon bottle lasts a fair bit of welding on the MIG. And I run an E size bottle on the TIG. For DIY MIG, stick with a D size bottle. If you really start to get into a LOT of welding and doing it really regularly, then upgrade. If you're like most DIY car guys, one D bottle will last you 2 or 3 years easily. I think I've been on my current bottle about 5 years. It is starting to get low, but I've been smashing it a lot more the last 6 months.

      SR20s came with cars like the Bluebird and Primera, but the RB20 never came. The ones in Turkey were either brought in specially or from abroad. That's why RBs aren't as common as SRs. And if a part breaks or I need to replace it when doing maintenance, it's harder to find parts for RBs.

      I would suggest equally difficult to find, perhaps edging to the SR. Turkey has almost exclusively Euro market cars, some Korean, few Japanese other than pedestrian shite. I guess they're probably losing the fight against Chinese shit like we are now too. I would vote for a BMW V8, found in a 540i in a wrecking yard somewhere in Deutschland (or possibly Albania).

      A CigWeld EasyWeld 130 can be had from ebay for $360 delivered. Good for 0.6 to 6mm, which would be fine for my requirements. I guess that on top of that you would need to buy a regulator, hoses and wire. I already have gloves and an auto-darkening mask. How is the gas bottle charged? Do you rent it then pay for top ups?

      RB20 being an option from factory would mean no custom parts or fabrication required, just have to collect the right bits. Probably would be the easiest option I reckon for a motor swap. How common are SR20s vs RBs in Turkey?
