Hey all,

As the above would imply I have a set of r34 GTT rims and went to put them on my 1997 GTST, however on doing so I found that the rims don't clear the brake calipers. Is this normal as other people have done it and said they don't think you need spacers. If not, why arent they clearing over the brakes? Seem odd? This has only happened for the front brakes so far, although I havent tried the rears.

Thanks in advance....

i needed spacers as well just to clear the front brakes ..i have a r33 gtst s1

Okay, so I also talked to a mate who had the same problem. He said thats what he noticed, however he was told that you just chuck the car back on the ground and go for a drive down the street and it will just shake the calipers a bit. Then after that you use a bit of wet and dry. What do you all make of that idea? Is yours a 1997 model though DNGRUS (Nice car)?

not a good idea mate. dont drive on them. i've got gtt wheels on my series 1 and they clear. i think its just a little bit of variation in individual cars. i've got almost no clearance at all. just get spacers. 5mm wont hurt anyone

5mm/3mm spacers arent noticeable and make no difference in grip length of nuts that are in the dangerous to drive on bracket.

get them and be done with it, driving around with the wrong offsets can do more damage than good. if u want a set, i got a set at home off my old 33. pm me

I had problems with GTT rims binding on my stock 32 brakes and needed 3mm spacers, but when I put 33 brakes on the calipers were obviously a little further out from the hub and was enough to clear without spacers (albeit by approx. 1mm).

when i bought my r33 gtst it had these wheels. i saw that on the brakes the wheels had rubber about 2mm of the caplier off. it was fine and has never caused any probs, you cant even notice it. i personally would shavesome of the caliper face off..

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
