Yep, I want to go to 5x114.3 on my r31 (aussie). I understand I'll need import front struts for the brake calipers, but I'm at aloss on brakes themselves? Can I run r32 type m calipers and front disks? What hubs? will the r32 ones fit? and then what about wheel offset-apart from clearance for calipers, will it change the offset, with the bigger discs, different hub assy etc? could I redrill R31 hubs? I would just be redrilling the rear flanges, dunno bout disks and calipers there though. Oh and what offset are R33 gts-t stock 16" rims, stock GT-R R32 rims, and gts-t r32 rims (but only being 6.5" I dunno if I want them)?

Mainly the fronts I'm worried about, anyone able to help?

cheers,

Lambo,

I've just done the conversion to my R32 GTS25, you can buy the hubs complete, from SSS or Just Jap in Sydney... they are a straight forward swap over, the only problem is they cut the brake lines so I had to buy replacement lines for the rear, at $150... but you could get a locally made set of lines for about $60 if you didn't mind them not being perfect.

I swapped the diff over at the same time (to go to LSD) and the parts cost $2000 from SSS

That included:

4 x GTSt "Type M" Hubs

GTSt Viscous LSD

Half Shafts for new diff

If you didn't want the diff, it would cost btw $1000 - $1500

You're looking at about 6 hours labour to get it swapped over

I have just changed the rear diff internals and hubs driveshafts to gtr stuff on my gtst. So i have a 32 gtst diff viscus was not suited to 235rwkw but would be good for a gts and the driveshafts and hubs to suit. This will all bolt on to your gts and give you a 5 stud rear. Just need the rear disks and brake.

I want $350 for diff.driveshats and hubs.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
