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.

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
