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.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
