Rotors are the same part number (if you have ventilated rear rotors), calipers are the same too, they both use 2 piston sumitomo calipers, so looks like it should be good to go.

Ok I'll have a crack tomorrow and see what happens, thanks for the input!

As silly as this may sound to all/most of you - does anyone know of a thinner

rotor and caliper that will bolt straight on.. For example r32 non turbo rear brakes or r33 non turbo rear brakes, both drilled to 5 stud?

If anyone knows if these or something else smaller than stock will fit without modification I am keen to know :)

Thanks!

R32 GTST including R32 GTR should be 297mm diameter X 18mm thick ventilated rears.

Next down is a 266 X 16 ventilated rear thats hard to find after market....same 5 bolt stud pattern.

In those cases we have been telling customers to send the larger ones to a engineer to have the outer diameter turned down and 2 mm skimmed off them.

Next down is 266mm X 9mm solid, but its 4 bolt stud pattern....

Not sure what calipers they are, the part number for the pads is different, they are not the Sumitomos that the turbo models use with the 2 pins passing through the pads to hold them in.

I have seen a few customers cars come in with them, i think from memory they are only a inboard single piston job, my brake catalog says R33 Non Turbo so i would be looking that way, they are probably a lower level of Sumitomo in single piston.

Concentrate on anything with 4 stud wheels from the R32, R33 range in non turbo is your best bet.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
