This was going to be so easy as I had done it before on my other stagea so.......

I took the gold brembos (origonally from a R34gtr) with the larger R34 discs off my other Stagea .The calipers have already been modified with insets to use 12mm bolts instead of the r34gtr's 14mm and find......

My other Stagea ( which is also a series 1 , March 1997 to be exact) has got 14mm bolts (not 12mm ) with what appears to be normal Stagea calipers and discs. Certainly 2 pot working together on only one side.

The same as standars ones.

So what hubs have I got ? with 14mm bolts .

Help please

my S2 Stagea RSFOURV ran 14mm bolts in it's std 2 pot front callipers. I'm now running R32 GTR callipers up front with 12mm bolts,and haven't had any dramas. once they're torqued up it's not going to make any difference. not ideal,I know,but there's not THAT much force involved that they'll move around once done up properly.

Well at least I know ive got series 2 hubs etc. and thats why the bolts are 14mm

My problem is twofold . First the series 2 calipers wont fit the rb25 stagea so I will need some 12mm calipers if I swop the brakes.

Secondly the other stagea has an rb26 in it and is manual - it realy does need good brakes .

Also I will do some track days . So for me 12mm bolts in 14mm holes round a track with around 425 bhp is not an option.

Thanks for the info though much appreciated.

I am having a little trouble getting my head around the actual problem you are having. Are we talking about the hub retaining bolts or the caliper retaining bolts?

Secondly, are you talking about 12mm thread size or head size? You made need a vernier caliper to figure this out properly.

If you can answer these I may have some suggestions....

Oh, and Leshy, do us all a favour and stick this in your sig :)

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
