Caliper Spacers

[Nic_A31]

Caliper/Dog-bone spacers, to mount the caliper further away from the hub that the factory position, where can I buy these dardies ?

I need some so I can ram my R33 brakes onto my A31 knuckles, and cant even find any luck via Google apart from those who make their own.

Anybody shed some light on this? Wanted urgently.

I doubt you'll find anything off the shelf and if it wasn't so urgent I could draw some up for you.

I'm modelling my current dogbones and will be using them as a basis to develop some for the stag (this is to use stock calipers with 324mm 33gtr rotors).

33 calipers n rotors go straight onto a31 stub axles ..

Bubba i have some bones if you want to copy them

Bart, for what application? (better not be the one in your pants!)

[SimonR32]

bubba another option is ebay...

they sell cheap billet spacers in teh US of assholes

i think they are advertised as S14 to 350z spacing or similar (which is the same 280->324mm)

im going to get some one day when my car gets on the road (after bart finally give me the parts i need *cough*)

33 gts-t or 32 GTR calipers to suit 324mm rotor .

Marbles go play with some bees

A31 stock rotors are same size as S13 SR20DET, the calipers fit onto those, but I want to use bigger rotors as well, definately dont fit 9yes Im doing a 5 stud conversion too). Couldnt see anything on eBay...got a link buddy?

Otherwise, Bubba, how much do you want to make me up a set of those for all 4 s?

Have to be careful as 350Z have a different offset I think, we discovered an issue when trying to find discs for the Stag.

Already got some, cheers Although, if you can send me a photo of them that'd be cool (so I can see if they differ to what I already have).

Not sure dude, I just draw the stuff

R33 GTST rotors are massive compared to the S13 / A31, so there's no way in hell you can fit the caliper on the rotors onto an S13 knuckle.

Word of advice , you have no idea what your doing so do all road users a favour and have some one who knows brakes do your work

These 2 set ups bolt straight onto s13 hubs .. remove old shitty single piston calipers n fit directly onto hub n stub axle

33 GTR .. 324mm rotor .. larger then 33 gts-t

Project MU .. 335mm rotor

[Nic_A31]

Mate the calipers fit onto the knuckle just fine, its fitting the calipers on with BIGGER ROTORS.

I cant fit the rotors on and the calipers which is why i need to space them further away from the centre?

What exactly are you trying to do?

This is what I can gather.. R33 GTSt rotors onto A31 knuckles with A31 calipers.. not going to work.

[Nic_A31]

A31 knuckles

5 stud hubs

R33 GTST Rotors

R33 GTST Calipers

Hence why I CAN mount the calipers if I were to use the A31/S13 rotors, but the caliper otherwise sits too close to the centre to use R33 rotors.

Do I need to take photo's / draw picture?

YES draw me a picture .. NO dragons though

[bubba]

That's pretty odd.. I've found that between the models, the difference for the bigger rotors is in the caliper.. therefore the 33gtst calipers should bolt onto the A31 knuckles in the right spot to use 33gtst rotors..

Are you sure you have 33gtst calipers and not 32gtst?

34 series has different size bolt n hole on front but other then that they still fit up .. In process of doing 34 turbo brakes onto my 31 wagon with monster rb30e

Yeah 34's have the same size bolts on the front as my Stagea.

The reason I am developing new dogbones/brackets is the ones off my 32 don't fit onto the Stagea.. it clashes with part of the knuckle which I can only assume is a 4WD thing.. if I could be bothered I'd try them on my mates GTS4 and confirm that.

Stagea thing , gts-4 has same calipers n rotors as gts-t

[bubba]

Yeah I know they are the same brake setup but are the knuckles the same rwd to awd?

32gtst brakes fit straight onto the Stag but if I try to use the adapter brackets, the bracket itself hits a big balljoint looking thing.

Being that Stageas are a piecemeal car, I highly doubt their knuckles/hubs are specific to the WGNC34. More likely they are 33gtr/gts4 hubs/knuckles.

My guess is that due to there being an axle through the centre of the hub, that the lower joint maybe sits lower than on the skyline.. if I had both in the air next to each other I could sus out exactly what the differences are.
