Default Need formula to subtract 5hrs from date/time field

I cannot get the formula to work. It seems the formula gets confused because
there is a date value as well as a time value. I tried the following formula
and it gave me the following result:

Formula
=(+TIME(5,0,0))

If I try to use =G2-TIME(5,0,0) it gives me a circular reference.


Result
01/00/1900 5:00:00 AM

instead of what I would like to see for G2 which is
01/08/2009 8:40:46 AM
instead of
01/08/2009 1:40:46 AM

Regards,
