First thing I learnt in intro to law... you enter into a sale contract and thats it. He would have been pissed if you backed out. If he accepted payment thats accepting the sale contract. He can't just back out like that, but you're hardly going to take him to court over $150 worth of calipers...

I didn't win those other calipers either, so I'm keen on your mates calipers Big Fella!

How much are the seal kits? I saw a set of all four on eBay for about $200, which seemed insane to me just for the seals.

Hoping I might be able to pick them up from Big Fella, or a skyline owner on here upgradng (and maybe even get some second hand discs).

Get your money back for the others?

craig will.

give craig anything unbreakable and guess what? he'll break it

lol...yup!!!

you guy's looked around for R33GTR stuff yet?...might find them cheaper than Z33/V35 stuff!....front's only!

Just quietly Cam....big f#$king difference between a 20year old cross drilled rotor and a late model Porshe rotors and ceramic Ferrari stuff mate! Every time I have had crossdrilled rotor's on a car(any car) they have eventually cracked!

You talking calipers? I've found R32 GTR calipers are cheaper than R33 GTSt. I didn't know R33 GTR fit?

The cost of a rebuilt set of R32 GTR calipers, decent slotted discs and decent pads had me looking at v35/350z stuff, but thats just dearer again!

Yeh callipers and rotors from a R33GTR.......they are basically the same calliper as the Z33/V35 brembo just black.....rotor is 324mm instead of 284 like the r32......will bolt up the same way as the R32's as well.....I know this as I started with the R32gtr calliper and rotors and just recently went to the R33GTR stuff.

Well u coulda told me that before I picked up my gtr32 calipers today.

Meh I don't think it matters, the way scotts was stopping was f**kin insane! I don't think I'll need more than that.. I'm not looking at track work anyway..

The ones I picked up look good.. The seals look new still!

So I'll need a caliper adaptor then?

The washer? Yeah I read Craigs instructions in M35Stagea.info, but he said R33 rotors were 324mm, and R32 rotors were 284, so I'd need that caliper bracket I think? This is the first I'd heard of R33 GTR calipers fitting?

Do they fit over standard wheels? I've still got standard 17" RS wheels.

Oh screw that I'm not going through that much trouble for a couple of mm. If that much trouble is needed, but he said they are the same as 350z brembos so maybe no adaptors.. Just the sleeve washer thing

Craigs Brain and possiblily other parts of him are on holiday ATM.

R32 GTR dicss are 296mmx32mm with Sumitomo calipers (same diameter as stock, the difference is in the width) Not 284mm

The R33 GTR are 324mmx30mm- With the Brembo calipers.

What you need to make them fit- the difference is in the bolts - R32 /33 being 12mm, and R34/M35/Z33 being 14mm (I think :blush:)

A little Sleeve that goes on the bolt to fill that gap is whats needed.

Scott might just jump in here (he turned mine up):thumbsup:

R32 GTR, non brembo is 296mm x 32mm. R32 GTSt is 280mm x 28mm. The reducing sleeve for the mounting bolts is all you'll need.

Edit; Alex beat me to it.

But wouldn't I need an adaptor to move the caliper to accept the bigger R33 GTR disc?

Does that make R34s bolt on too?

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      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.
