I am in the process of upgrading my rotors to Dba 4000 series and i would like to run the 324mm rotors with my stock R33 gtst calipers.

Unique autosports sell the adaptors 4 $350 but they have advised me that i can no longer run my stock 16inch skyline rims.

Has anyone actually done this conversion, i need good honest advice

1. Does the sumitto caliper sit nice on the 324mm rotor

2. Can i run the stock skyline rims, i really want to keep my car looking original/sleeper

3.Who in sydney can help me with this

please help

They dont fit as though they were designed for it, because they werent. But they do fit and they do a good job

2. Can i run the stock skyline rims, i really want to keep my car looking original/sleeper

You can run the stock Skyline rims with a 324mm rotor if you throw away the Sumitomo caliper and throw on an Indycar or other motorsport type caliper that really hugs the rotor and needs little clearance. You cannot run the Sumitomo caliper with a 324mm rotor under a 16" wheel. Just like you cant run the R33/34 Brembo brakes under a 16" wheel

I suspect you are speaking to the right people in UAS. John is a but of a brake whore himself and along with their partners in Sydney engineer a lot of components for imports.

Real questio is, what do you do with your car to warrant an increase in brake rotor size? Just run better pads and fluid

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
