Hard to believe, but after months of waiting and successfully selling my TE37s, my BRAND NEW CE28N rims won't clear my brakes. 381mm Harrop 6 piston

I could have the brakes reduced (bad idea)

I am willing to swap my brand new CE28N rims in Silver 18 x 10.5 +18

for a set of

18 x 10.5 +15 TE37 rims - second hand, but in good condition.

PM me if you know someone or want to do a deal..

I will not be interested in anything but 10.5in TE37s. Nothing else fits.

As much as this must be a pain in the ass for you - I can't help but find it funny :)

Will be a shame to lose the CEs though - they look porn.

TB asks if the problem is with the offset - can new hats be fitted to act as a spacer?

you got it. Spokes aren't an issue.

The thing is I took one of Jacks rims to Harrop and they digitised it and were able to use cad to fit the brakes in. All looks perfect. They did the same with the TE37 I got from James.

Thing is though, the TE37 fitted with ease, the CE28 didn't. (sob)

Tis a bugger alright. I waited months for them, spend a small fortune, sold the TE37s which James was kind enough to do a deal on, all for that extra inch. Admittedly, if I could get an extra inch somewhere else for that money I'd get it...

I may have to commit sacrilege and have my brakes machined a bit smaller and grind any unnecessary aluminium of the callipers.

At the moment, I am praying for rain next weekend. Then street tyres will do the job at Sandown, otherwise, Snowman - you got me..

Admittedly, if I could get an extra inch somewhere else for that money I'd get it...

Half your luck...doctors tell me there is no helping mine...no matter how much coinage i front with.

A silly idea that i havent thought through, but here it goes...have you spoken to Speedline or any other race wheel manufacturer? Is it perhaps possible to get a race wheel that is available in 5 stud instead of single hubs????

that sux Aaron, i have 4 pot brakes at front and needed 25mm spacers to fit my rims over the brakes, the spokes were the issue for me.

I was planning on getting dished CE28N's next year and i reckon i might have the same problem.

How bout Volk GT-N's Aaron? u tried them?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
