Hi All,

Thought someone here might know about this.

I have a set of calipers that I plan on eventually fitting to my s14, however the thread in them is 14mm and the s14 knuckes/hubs/whatever are 12mm standard.

What I want to do, rather than drill out the holes on the hub/knuckle to suit, is to get someone to put some stainless steel thread inserts into the calipers to change them to the smaller thread size.

Anyone know a good place around Brisbane or the Sunshine/Gold Coasts that can do this that is fairly priced?

Thanks

Jamie

do you know what the thread pitch is in the caliper, M14 1.5 is my guess and the M12 should be the same although it could be a 1.25.

i may have what you need, i work at yatala and live at upper coomera if you need help.

i think its a reducer he wants dave.. helicoil will require him to re-tap the part to suit the helicoil.. and i don't know if you can get a helicoil that will go M14 tap size - M12..

Yeah, not sure exactly what I'm chasing to do the job.

I know beer baron had it done to his r34 gtr calipers but he's obviously not locally.

Checked the front and the caliper thread is M14 x 1.5

The thread I want to change it to is M12 x 1.5

None of the threads on the calipers are damaged, only doing this purely for ease of installation as this will be easier for me than drilling the knuckles and just seems like a better solution.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
