just wondering what i can do about this

on my front wheels the brake caliper is rubbing on the rims

its fine i can still drive allright, but i dont know how good this is for either my rims or my brakes, the nissan written on my calipers has been slighly grinded away, is there anyway i can fix this without having to buy different rims

thanks

Yeah, Wheel shops sell small thin spacers that will puch your wheels away from the calipers a tad. They shouldnt cost more than $5 each.

I have been using them on my car for years and years now with no problems. No way did I want to file down the word Nissan D:

the best spacers are the ones which bolt onto your hubs, with new studs for the wheel to be bolted onto

however if u only need a little bit of room just use 2-3mm spacers not good to have bigger than that and yes they are illegal.

Mine just arrive yesterday it's 10mm with bolt, they have to be custom made up to fit the skyline from somewhere down Sydney, I will have them fitted on Saturday.

I got a 5mm slip on one atm, n the guys at Bob Jane say they are not save to use, because you are shortening the bolt, which the wheel might come off.

mind you spacers are illegal, in sydney.. not to sure about melb tho prob the same

so i'd stick to the nissan grinding idea..

yeah HCR32 your right there & I dare say in any state it will be the same as altering the track in a road regoed car is illegal

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
