Nice looking kit, were the bolts 12mm or 14 though?

Different kits/cars require different bolts - mine uses 14mm bolts

What size rims do you have, and how much clearance between the caliper & rim barrel? The AO website says minimum 17", but I'd be surprised if they would fit - more likely 18" needed?

I run 18's, I use both stock R34 GTR rims and Concave Concept CC03R in 18x9. I have seen the setup with 17's but you would require a race-style 17's which provide maximum clearance.

Out of interest... Can you pull the ABS fuse and do a session and offer feedback?

If I remember next time I'm at the track I will see what I can do :)

Your original question was, will they fit behind a 17. If the website says it does then why would you be "surprised it fits"

Would have taken you less time to search what the standard Evo wheels are

Don't get cranky when it's easy to find the correct answer, especially since ITS ALREADY ON THE WEBSITE!

Thanks - just changed from 18's to 17's on the track car to get the tyre sizes we wanted, but would love to put the brembos on.

Perhaps you should read my original question again - doesn't mention "behind" anywhere. I asked about the clearance between caliper and barrel - ie diameter. The standard Evo wheels mean nothing - this kit uses calipers from early models and rotors from newer model, with a third party bracket. Thanks for the excellent info provided though, EVEN IF IT IS ALREADY ON THE INTERNET!!! Don't you be asking anyone for info again will you (particularly just after they've offered to provide it)?

What 17's are you running? Here is a pic with some 17x9 Enkei's fitted over the kit - http://alphaomegaracing.com/image/data/productimages/evo350brembo/wing.jpg

I'm sure if they are a known brand rim Alpha Omega would probably be able to advise if they will fit over the kit, you may need to be cautious of wheel weights though.

Forgive my ignorance, but why weight? Too much for the hat?

the little lead weights that are sometimes stuck on the inside of rims to balance them ;)

Correct, I'm referring to the lead weights used for balancing wheels when you get tires fitted :)

We've got 17" Enkei's - RP01's - so might be a goer.

I put an Akebono BBS on a 350GT a couple of years ago, didn't think to look where the weights were. They came off the first time the wheel rotated. When I got them re-balanced I got the weights put out of the way of the caliper. Interestigly they were also 350mm rotors, but even the stock 350GT rims didn't fit over the front calipers - missed by about 1-2 mm. I used a set of 350Z stock rims and they had plenty of clearance.

Prank - put the stick away - I'm done with it. Just get a bit sick of reading meaningless replies, and was in a bad mood yesterday after dealing with retards all day. Getting too old and grumpy for this shit.

I'm about to put this kit and the rear WTAC kit on my car. 

Looking at going the attkd 2 piece rotors after reading what you have posted here.

I wanted to ask where and how much the brake lines were to get made? Or is it easier to just pay the $270 for front and rear lines from Alpha omega?

Have you asked AOR for a package deal or seen if they are doing any group buys? I saved a heap by emailing them and found out a group buy was underway

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
