So I ordered a new set of 20mm ichiba v2 from west Covina Nissan and I just received the spacers today. What I'm wondering is did I received the knock off nobeand spacers. I thought that the bolt of the ichiba uses a special socket with four pins? The one I received uses a regular socket and it didn't come with any sockets. Any indication on the spacer itself that state that it's real ichiba or not?

 

No brand* I'm on my phone so I can't edit

 

I have Ichiba v2 spacers and they came with regular bolts.

 

Mines actually looks just like the ones in this thread:

But after doing some research, I did notice that there were some that came with special bolts with a key. I'm not sure but maybe there are 2 different kinds?

 

sounds like you got the version one with the extended studs that you have to use to replace your stock studs.

 

My ichiba spacers use a standard socket. The project kics I owned used a 4-prong key.

 

Mines the v2 so I don't have to do the replace the lugs. Funny thing is that I purchase the v1. And realize that I had to remove the wheel bearingto get the extended lugs to fit so I solder it to get the v2.

 

Just return them and get the V1 before its to late.

 

regular sockets are better than that 4 pin mess anyhow. my 4 pin tool is all bent

 

the V2 10mm and 15mm come with the four pin hole sucket. The V2 20mm amd 25mm come with regular sucket, which is better.

 

great thanks guys.

 

I have the 10mm V2 and it's a regular lug. Project Kics have the prongs.

 

wheel bearings are untouched to install v1 spacers

 

it was impossible to squeeze in the long studs into the hole. i have tried every which way and none of them seem to work. i had to remove the emergency brakes assembly to get enough room for the longer stud

 

i can tell from your pics........fake.

 

i was trying to upload pictures to my photobucket thru my iphone but my phone freezed and i had to go somewhere. if you still need them then i will be glad to provide

 

 

That's the V2 just punch the studs out and order some ARP studs to make them like the V1 spacer.

 

how long are the arp studs. because i really dont want to go to the trouble of removing my calipers and my rotors only to realize that the stud will not go in without taking out more components of the brakes.
