Hey guys, finally got off my ass and test fitted my new rims and it seems i need a 10mm bolt on spacer on the front to clear the brakes.

Cant use slip on spacers as ive tried then the studs are too short poking out of the rims to tighten them up.

Another problem is that the smallest BOLT ON spacer ive seen is 25mm and thats way too much for my application (even 10mm is but what can i do)

Any help on where i can find 10mm spacers or get them fabricated?

Or any other ideas on what to do? Do i have to lengthen my studs?

Cheers

Kelvin

If theyre your rims, when are they goin backwards on the Lada?

Throw em on and post up some pics!!! :D

Then u can pump the guards and spray the car midnight purple, would be like u never sold your GTR!! (Actually then u would have to spray the rims bronze) KGB-GTR

Also need my rims powdercoated/painted white, who did that fantastic work on those rims?

Hey kelly.. I don't know what you mean by slide on and bolt on.. How can you bolt on a spacer????...

anyways my 5mm spacers just sit in between the rim and the hub.. and the nuts go on top of the rim as always...

speaking of rims, i discovered that my spacesaver was a 4 stud anyways.. so if i blow a tyre.. im f**ked.

D@MN i better go check my cheese grinder just incase its a 4 stud too!

umm how can isay, i too have the 5mm slip on ones actually on there at the moment.

The bolt on ones slip on the hub and 5 new threads poke out too, so u keep the same length of thread. When i use my 5mm slip on ones, the thread shortens by 5mm if i went any bigger the nutwould sit on the stud on a thread or 2.

(Hope that makes sense, if someone with better knowlede of this stuff can explain it better please do).

Thanks to Garage-13 for the pic, im sure it will show u better:

FATGTS-R is right though i dont think u can get 10mm bolt ons cos there wouldnt be enough meat on the spacer and the original thread would poke out the other end.

ahhh I understand... sort of.. how does the spacer connect to the original thread AND the wheel though?

I see the extra holes there pressumably for the original threads, but then how does it sit on the wheel correctly, unless your wheel has 10 holes?

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
