G'day Guys,

Im looking to fit some custom 4 stud rims on my car to remove the need for wheel spacers on my front rims.

Im either going to have to go take some specific measurements to get the wheels to fit or the company reckons if I can just ID my front brake calipers they will be able to get the rims to fit.

The current front brakes were installed by the previous owner so I'm not 100% what they are. I suspect either Z32 front calipers or R33 gtst brakes. Is there any way to ID or tell the difference between them or are they the same etc?

Z32 calipers (without any sort of dogbone spacer to push them out to suit a larger disc) suit a 280mm disc. With a spacer, these can be pushed out to suit 324mm discs. Same with R32.

R33 calipers suit a 298mm disc. These are seldom spaced out because it is hard to do it decently.

R34 calipers suit a 310mm disc. I have never seen these spaced out.

The differences in these radial dimensions are all in the legs of the caliper. The body of the calipers are almost (if not actually) identical.

Got a picture of the calipers?

Also, knowing the diameter of the discs will help too.

That's the pic of them without removing the wheels yet (am at work). Plan on checking closer today. I'm convinced they are one of the variants of the Z32 brakes.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
