Bolt On Hub Adaptors?

hi everyone,

Just got a new set of work wheels with supposedly correct offset for a 34GTT. The wheel in question are the fronts (18x8 +35). Had brake caliper clearance issues (standard nissan calipers) and have put 5mm spacers in the front. They have now cleared the calipers but only by a hairs length! I shit you not when I say a hairs length! Wheel shop told me if they did not hit in the first place they will never do. but today under slight heavy breaking it scraped ever so slightly. I'm thinking 10mm bolt on hub adaptors...are these legal and how hard is it to find a 10mm one? Any input would be much appreciated.

Cheers

I thought an offset of +35 should be alright for gtst? Hmm... maybe it's the design of the wheel. I had the same issues when i bought my wheels, with offset +38. Had to use bolt on wheel adaptors as wheel spacers are too dangerous. I think you can probably buy them from some tyre stores. Give me a PM if you can't find any, I'll put you in touch with the place where I bought them from. :rolleyes:

Thanks zigenGT,

yes +35 on an 8inch wide wheels would normally be correct but because of the design of these spokes they hit the calipers. Yes I know spacers are not legal, they were more a quick fix to get the car on the road, hence my question on bolt on hub adaptors...are they legal? Zigengt, what size adaptors did you use n how much did they cost?

Thanks again for the replys.

I bought 25mm bolt on adaptors :rolleyes: They cost $80 each fitted. Have driven 7 months no problems at all.

What car u driving? I'm thinking 25mm may be too much for a 34GTT....do 10mm ones exist? fitting a 25mm hub adaptor would make an existing wheel with +35 become +10??? Someone correct me if i'm wrong...

You cannot get 10mm bolt-on's because it needs to be wide enough to allow for the extra bolts.

PM me if you are after some spacers, I can get 20mm, 25mm or 30mm they are $85 each

My offset is +38. I was concerned the wheels might look too wide but the flush along the guards :)

Do the calipers have NISSAN cast on the top, if so file the letters off and that will gain you a couple of mil extra clearance.

hehe, I was running a set of rims on the rearonce, which were so close it shaved the paint off the "NISSAN" letters!!!!!

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
