wheel nuts have nothing to do with the actual wheel hitting the caliper.

I never said they did?

But they do have everything to do with the wheel nuts coming loose after a short drive as DjeMz has stated.

Use stock wheel nuts DjeMz, quite possible the aftermarket wheel nuts are not suitable for the wheel type.

Thanks dude, ill give nissan a buz n find out how much..

Any ideas on where else i can get stock nuts?

strange! I just tried to fit a set of 34 rims then to mine..

won't fit on the front.. and will need a spacer of about 8mm (spacers are illegal btw).. Only thing I can think of is that I fitted a new set of brake pads a while ago, which maybe the increased meat in the pads pushes the caliper that much further out?

No issue with the rears at all.

I put r34gtt rims on my r32 with stock (280mm rotor) mspec calipers and they hit the inside of the front rims.

It's well documented that they won't fit straight onto r32s

I had been told I'd need a thin spacer but i didn't understand why until I tried to fit the wheels.

The issue is not that the calipers are too far out and hit the back of the spokes as I thought but that they need to be mounted further out from the centre as required for larger rotors.

8mm spacers won't leave enough thread for the full nut to screw on.

I fitted 3mm spacers to the front which gave it clearance until I found some cheap r33 calipers and rotors.

These give clearance without spacers but it would be better to fit r34gtt (310mm) brakes as the r33 (296mm) brakes give less than 1mm of clearance.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
