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?

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.

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.

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

      Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
