Loadmaster Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 One pair of Japan Racing 25mm wheel spacers for a 370Z (and possibly other Zeds/Nissans - please check). I bought them from Tarmac Sportz earlier this month (July 2021) but plans change and I have no use for them now - unfortunately the returns period had now expired! Boxed, bagged and unused with receipt. £50.00 - includes recorded delivery to UK mainland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prodrive11 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Is there any spec of those, i struggle to find anything online. Eibach has full spec available easily. Wondering how those JRs compare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibrakeformoose Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Coming from a very stable car I find my 370 very twitchy on my favourite backroads.. are these meant for the front, as I figure that might improve things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can be fitted front or rear but very unusual to fit in only pairs. Your twitchiness is more likely due to a poor geo and/or tyre issues in all honesty, certainly things to address before even contemplating spacers. Worth starting a thread elsewhere about it, if you haven’t already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't want to puke out another £300 on front tyres to find it just needed the track widening to take away the unstable (in my mind) feel..

Think there was forged Eibach PRO spacer... where others are only CNC'd shitty aluminium blocks ... (don't have exact details..). Anyways i'm running on eibach atm, they take serious beating at track/drift and holding well. But need another set, so considering this one. This is sort of spec I'm looking for...

Ekona Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 It’s a lump of metal that sits between the wheel and the hub, how good does it need to be?! No need to be daft about it with the plastic comment, but there’s no need to spend silly money on uber-lightweight forged items when some cnc alloy spacer will do the exact same job, unless of course you’re all about the weight saving and are running carbon fibre wheels. And if you are then good for you, but for 99% of people there is no point spending a fortune on something so basic. Besides, if you already have your perfect spacer, then you wouldn’t be looking at these as you’ve clearly done your research. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 The main difference with spacers is the quality of the studs and the shallow nuts. I have had serious issues on track with some of the cheaper brands and that is the reason that I personally will only use Eibach even though they are almost twice the price of others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally i think zmanalex's opinion on cheap wheels spacers is very true, they might be a basic part, but its basically a part that should not be skimped on, so on this occasion i think your wrong in what your saying bud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I have TarmacSportz wheels spacers on mine, taken the car on track several times and can report no issues. Granted I didn't go round at 8/10, however harder than you'd sensibly ever push on road. I'd have no problem in buying the OP items if I were after a pair of 25mm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the bit about quality, particularly for heavy duty use - but we don't all track 'n' drift and the JR brand is more than good enough for 'normal' road use.
