Hello All, 

I have a quick question, I just bought some wheels for my 4door skyline, they’re 17x8 +30 and the website I bought them from (figment industries) has a thing where you put your car model in and if it has stock brakes suspension etc in it and it gives you wheels that SHOULD fit. I bought the wheels and when I went to put on the front ones, the wheel spikes hit on the front STOCK brake calipers. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if so how can I fix it or what wheels do I need to get/ specs so the spokes clear the caliper. My stock wheels already are very close to the caliper as is so I’m kind of lost as to what to do. It seems the stock caliper in the front are huge! Thank you guys, I also know that people have put rpf1’s on it because I’ve seen pics of gtst’s with them but idk what specs to get to have them not hit on the spokes

You need a small slip on spacer (at minimum), or a bigger bolt on spacer (because safer) to push the wheel out. But spacers are not a better idea than better wheels.

RPF1s fit fine. 17x8 +35 fit with plenty of clearance to the spoke.

Thanks for the reply! So just to be clear the rpf1’s would clear the brakes? And if I was going to go with spacers I would go with the ones that bolt on and have their own studs but the only thing that scares me about that is that the wheels would poke out too much and rub on the fenders, thoughts?

Spacers are shit. A bolt on is safer, but will definitely push the wheel out at least 10mm, probably 15 for the smallest ones you could get. a 5mm slip on would be the least change to wheel position, but slip ons are not a great idea.

RPF1s definitely fit. The above spec I posted is what is on mine, and they have fit R32 brakes, R33 brakes and now R34 brakes.

Oh ok thank you! Do you also have huge brakes in the front ?

Those wheels aren't Enkei, they those Chinese made copies no?
Why not get genuine ROTA? Or better yet, non-stuffed wheels made by original manufacturer?

But yeah, spacers are illegal.

No they aren’t Chinese made copies and they costed a little more than rpf1’s matter of fact (should’ve just gotten rpf1’s I know). I just need to know if 17x8 +35 rpf1’s will clear the stock brakes, the user above already said they would so I’m gonna go with them and cross my fingers and hope they work

Wait what? RPF1 are like $1,500 for a set. Why would you get copies with unknown QC? But hey, your car and life.

I just said they’re not copies. And no the ones I got ended up being around 1.2k and the rpf1’s were 1k for the set.

Okay. Why did you talk about RPF1 then?
What are these mysterious wheels? Cosmic yeah?
Where are they made? What's the background of the manufacturer? What standards/testing do they do?

$1k wheels clears 4 pots and has a long history, or $1.2k wheels that doesn't clear brakes is made where?

 

Doesn't matter, you already bought them. RPF1 easily clears 4 pot brakes. A mate bought a set for his Evo8.

Sounds like you're from USA though, 20mm bolt on spacers and maybe an AR1 rifle should do it.

No need to be so condescending. They said theyd trade out my wheels for the rpf1’s and was just looking for confirmation that they’d fit. Thanks for all your help. Be nicer.

      @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.

      I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.

      @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.

      If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
