hey, im interested in doing the 5 stud conversion on my r33, however i cant find any complete guides on doing so... or more to the point, a complete list of parts needed to do it.

ive searched and found a few threads on it already, but so far, most of them have been saying different things about needing to replace parts of the braking system and what not.

also would anyone have all the parts to do the conversion sitting around for sale? :D

cheers for any points in the right direction XD

Get the turbo's 4 piston calipers with the bolts!, and rear 2 piston setup with 298mm rear disc and drum for the handbrake. The whole rear hub setup will have the handbrake stuff on it.

Then you need to see if the center spline of your driveshafts that runs through the rear wheel bearing is smaller than the turbo version...

i did this mod on my 4stud r32

got r33 turbo rear hubs and r32 front hubs, came with brake calipers, rotors and handbrake cables still attached

i found my driveshaft spline was the same and fit the turbo hubs

u need a big socket to undo the driveshaft nut from the hub, think its a 36mm socket

i upgraded my brakes at the same time and found that once i went for the first drive i had no braking pressure, adjusted the brake pedal where it connects to the brake master and i got brake pressure,

if u do upgrade the brakes i ur brake lines may have banjo fittings where they bolt to the caliper so you'll have to work something out

I've got a set of front Bendix Ultimates to suit R33 4 Pots :banana: preferably wanting to get rid of them this week before Thursday! $50 pickup or throw in a bit for postage. Barely used, bit coarse for my liking so I changed pads. PM if you want them.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

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

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
