I fit them under 17s, but it was very close and the 17s were a generous fit (internal diameter is what matters here)

poor quality pic, but you can see how close the caliper is:

excellent choice for the price in either 330 or 356, they both use the same caliper and pads, just different disc and caliper mount.

356 by the looks of it, But be warned, with that sort of clearance a simple rock may end up machining your wheel and damaging your rotor...plus the Wedsport wheels typically are pretty good for brake clearance, with their cast wheels being similar to forged wheels for their ID clearance. For instance i can promise you that Work WD9s, AVS Model 5 and Model 6 wheels will not go remotely close to clearing the brakes in Duncan's picture

yeah 356, and as Roy said the weds have great clearance for 17s....there is about 2mm between caliper and wheel, and this is a track only car. I also had trouble fitting 330m g4s under AVS 17s on my stagea (had to take the wheel weights off lol).

anyway....I think JJ's recommendation is spot on - don't buy the 356 unless you are running 18" wheels (unless you are certain you have wheels that clear them)

sorry mate, not sure and the car with the 356s is not nearby. I saw a post earlier about them not fitting under 18s...pretty surprised about that given we slipped them under 17s.

I'd suggest getting someone nearby and trying your wheels over them....but I guess there are not many gtrs with 356s in wagga.

BTW, very late, but yes roy they are the 356 in the pic above.

Well i guess that's the thing, i havnt bought wheels or the brakes. Just trying to work our what it will / wont fit under i guess. I wanted to try squeeze it under Work XD9s 18x10 +18 .. however i have been told that these have 400mm of internal clearance (from work). Feel free to let me know if you find out their total diameter! Cheers :worship:

I'd talk to Darron at Just Jap and ask what he thinks. 18" should be ok, and if not you can always adjust the bracket or remove a little caliper if its close to fitting.

I cant see how 400 is not enough clearance for 356 + caliper, maybe someone who has the brakes nearby can check how far the caliper hangs off the disc, surely only 10-20mm

Alright i shall give him a call tomorrow sometime and see what he thinks.

Yep well work said "The XD9 inside diameter is only 400mm, we think they will not clear."

I assume this is the measurement from the bottom to the top of the rim behind the spokes.. and if so it might fit.. *fingers crossed*

    • 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
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
