I've got an R34 GT-T I'm wondering where I can get a spare wheel ... the one I've got (some yellow space saver) comes off an R33 GTS-T and it doesn't fit on my car because the brakes get in the way? does that sound right?

just curious where I can get one from .. wrecker? forums here? do spare wheels from any other cars fit?

Brakes on GTS25T are same as GTT are they not?

Any wheel thats 5x114 will fit. Altezza, Stagea, 300ZX, RX8, RX7, V35/G35, 350Z, S2000, Accord, Silvia, Maxima, 180SX, etc.

Just go to a Nissan wrecker and ask for any 5x114.3 space savers to try on your car, should be nice enough to let you.

RX7 ones are quite cool, they are a proper mag wheel, but still as tiny as the factory spacies.

Have you actually tried the spare wheel to see if it fits? Cause R34 came witha space saver.. And no i believe the 33 & 34 turbo fronts are different..

ok the full story is:

Bought the car from a guy, it had no spare wheel and he said he'll get one before selling it. So he goes to the wrecker and gets a R33 GTS-T yellow space saver which the wrecker told him will fit an R34 GT-T (but he didn't try and fit it at that time). Recently I shredded a tyre (got home luckily) and tried to put the wheel on ..... alas it hits the brake caliper and doesn't go on.

I'm pretty sure my car has standard brakes so there must be a difference between R33 & R34 spare wheel???

Buy an R34 space saver if you are looking to place one in the spot of the spare tyre.. as i dont think a normal tyre will fit in the area provided? height wise i mean.. if it does.. have a look if anyones selling 34 stockies..

    • 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.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
