hey all

these are my brakes

http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.p...st&id=85173

i just bought r34 gtt rims but they wont clear the front calliper, i dunno why :S i thought they would clear them fine but obviously not.

full details here

http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.p...howtopic=233226

bit of info:

car had aftermarket rims, i dont have any r32 or 33 rims to try, i will try borrow some of a mate.

calliper "nissan" logo has already been ground back

the calliper rubs the inside of the rim; where it connects to the hub

just a couple of q.s

1. could they not fit because the car was orig an auto? might have been n/a but i dont think it was

2. i have the proper hub spacers, but the centre bit it too wide for the centre of the rim.. what can i do about that?

3. what type of brakes do i have?

thanks heaps

From the sounds of it, if his having problems with clearing the front brakes it would be GTT rims because the offset is like +40 or greater so they stick closer inside the guard.

IF they were GTR34 rims he shouldn't have problems clearing the tiny brakes on his car compared to brembos off a gtr34 its just that it'll look werid ( i think) because of the +30 offset so the rims will stick out of the guards like a 4wd!

i wouldn't run spacers, whats the point just to get some stock gtt rims on the car, just offload them and source some other rims.

thats my 2cents.

It looks like you have regular old r32gtst brakes on there.

It's weird that the rims are fouling as i have seen GTT rims on an s15 which has a near identical caliper and same size rotor and there was heaps of room.

Do you have a pic of the rim on the car showing where it fouls?

yeh thats just touching..... i have in the past (shitter car) just grinded/shaved abit of the caliper and painted em would not notice if u werent told.... to fit wheels and never had a problem with it but i shouldnt recomend dodgy fixes haha

odd... I've fitted them perfectly, and seen quite a few other 32 with them on.. maybe you have some slightly different discs? although even then I wouldn't have thought that wouldn't have made a massive difference. I have DB4000 discs.. I am sure the calipers sat out further (towards the edge of the rim) than you have it sitting.

Here we are, when I was test fitting some ages ago..

tht is really weird. I too have seen stock gtt wheels on an R32,33,S15, Stageas with no problems. If it came of an R34GTT and doesn't fit ur car this would imply you have bigger brakes than a stock GTT?? Your brakes or discs are probably not factory.

Agreed.

These are pretty tight too :thumbsup:

dude, the spacer goes behind the wheel. not on the top of it.

lol no shit Sherlock

yeah i think i just got aftermarket brakes

i just got a pair of slip on spacers, and after 15 mins of driving the studs were around 15-25degrees loose (if that makes any sence).

I think ill have to get the proper spacers...

the aftermarket discs make bugger all difference, unless they have a bell that is the wrong offset for your car (which is unlikely as they wouldn' fit on the hub properly if that was the case). The caliper and rotor size looks completely stock to me.

thanks for the no shit sherlock remark too. I'll remember that next time i'm trying to help you trouble shoot your problem. the picture made me think it's possible you were putting them on the wrong way. I still can't figure out why you put up a pic of a spacer sitting in front of your wheel then if you know they fit behind it?

edit: figured it out better from your other thread.

soz dude, i honestly didnt mean to be rude, just wanted to use an old saying i havnt used in a while :sorcerer:

just gonna get some bolt on spacers

question - rb2532 is in your avatar.

Is that a rb25de r32, that u have converted to use the r32 gtst 5 stud rotors and brakes?

Maybe them spacers were used on a different car to fit them rims to it. Cant u just fit some skyline spacers?

rb25det

was converted in jap, im thinkin the car was auto non turbo 4 stud, but im not sure which brakes its got..

I bolted up a set to my R32 and found the calliper touched the inside of the rim slightly. They require a thin spacer.

OR.

Throw on a set of R33 GTST or R32 GTR front callipers.

Have you had any problems with ur wheel nuts loosening up?

I have after 15 mins of driving :S

    • 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!
