Hey, i have a GTS-T lowerd on ARC coilovers and a just acquired a set of 17" enkei "racing"(thats the model?! whats with japan and obvious names) wheels. Problem is they aint gonna fit.. the callipers hit on the spokes..sucks cuz theyre nice light wheels...i was told they were from a GTR, so...does anyone know if the callipers of the brembos are slimmer than the kakimoto (?) brakes on the gts-t.

ALSO! if these DONT fit.. who would reccomend shimming (spacing) the wheels out a quarter inch...i dont wanna do it but were building the car and it seems to be the choice..if not im gonna go kickass those dudes who sold em to me..

Think you will find they are called "Sumitomo" calipers.hehe

If they don't fit over those , they sure wont fit with Brembos.

The offset of a GTS-T is around 35 and the offset of a GTR is around 20-25 which means they should stick OUT and rub on your guards , not IN and rub on the calipers.

I can see a kicking coming up... :rofl:

Cheers

ASSHOLES! Anyone got opinions on spacing?

To do it properly it will have to be about 15-20mm to allow for the bore on the hub and then the correct bore to locate the wheels.

You should never use the studs alone to hold the wheel on, it should always be snug on the centre bore.

Which also means you are going to need longer wheel studs....

I can still see a kicking coming up....

Cheers

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
