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..

    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
