Ecr33 Work wheel MD disk front fitment

Does anyone have experience fitting a work MD disk wheel face with oem ecr33 calipers? I'm not sure if I will need a spacer to clear the caliper and I want to make sure I order the proper offset if I'm going to have to kick the wheel out a bit.

What model wheels is it for? spoke design is a bigger influence on caliper clearance than disk choice.

My guess, mid disk will be heaps of space for OEM R33 calipers.

Thanks for the reply Leroy! The wheel faces are Work VS-SS

So 18x10.5 +20 doesn't clear the rear brakes? Is that what you're saying?

Not sure where you're getting this conclusion form previous posts. All subjects and statements made are about the front caliper clearance.

you said you were running the same specs, but only changed the rear?

or have you gone from a 1pc wheel to 3pc in the same specs? any photos?

Only thing changing on my new wheel setup was the rear is a little wider but thats not a issue. My main concern and reason i started the topic was for the front caliper clearance with the Work Md disk.

Yes,  I was going to a 3 peice wheel setup with the same specs in the front but I know some disk type dont clear big calipers. Shop I got them from estimated a 5 to 8 mm spacer but I wanted to check if someone had done it before so I knew exactly the spec of the spacer i needed. 

Ecr33 + work MD disk = need 15mm spacer in front

Case closed :cool:

      Manual Shifter slightly bounces/moves/vibrates when accelerating/deaccelerating

      Congratulations on your find  Did you mean it has 6k miles or was that a typo? Firstly, keep in mind some movement of the shifter is normal...it is a long rod hanging out of a box bolted to the engine. Having said that there are 2 next places to look: 1. Transmission and engine mounts. If these are worn or broken the shifter will move around more. They are reasonably easy to source and replace on a hoist, and possible but uncomfortable to replace car stands 2. On the bottom of the shifter there is a nylon cup that sits over shifter's ball end. If this is worn or broken the shifter will move around more than it should (but will still shift OK). That is a cheap part and requires removal of centre console, rubber shifter hole covers and a circlip in the gearbox shifter hole to remove the shifter. Re maintenance, as with any new import you should change all the fluids including transmission when you get it; never trust the seller and previous owners to have done the right thing. I am pretty sure R34 GTT is the same as earlier big box transmissions, so use any good quality GL4 75w90 trans fluid if it is shifting well (if it is hard to shift due to synchro wear, redline shockproof lightweight will keep it alive a bit longer before rebuild is required)

      Misfire/stalling issues

      Well considering I have the exact same problem with that as the original one I don't think that the ignitor is the problem. I would imagine that this being such an uncommon problem the possibility of getting a new ignitor that is bad in the same way as the old one has to be very slim. I'll definitely pull everything apart this weekend and check the turbo out. Got quite a bit of things to check out Saturday like fuel pressure and the pcv so I'll report back once I do that.  Thanks everyone for all the replies this is all really helpful

      Rb's have issues with bottom end starvation, not head starvation. Which either way, you probably wouldn't ever see on a dyno. Strange... What's pump gas for you? Octane rating?
