I don't it will. I had to go +30 to clear my r34gtt brakes and I just cleared it by 5mm. Its all to do with offset of the wheel.

No, it's not.

You can have a low offset wheel with rubbish clearance due to the spoke design. 2 or 3 piece rims generally state a J type disc reference. While lower offset wheels are more likely to clear, it is not a guarantee.

Try to look at the rims on a r33 or 34.

I was looking at these but they only come in +40

My only clearance issue will the the fronts with my r32 gtr brakes I will b e putting on as ill be keeping the rears as standard for now. At worst just decent pads and slotted rotors.

Having a guess by the look at the spokes and the offset, those have no chance of clearing.

Are your brakes on the car yet? If not, you can take them and place them on the backs of wheels ou like to see if they clear.

Varrstoen do some bbs knock offs too, 19x9.5 +22

No I haven't got the r32 brakes on yet. In transit.

This has probably been covered.. but hey, worth the info..

I wanted a bigger set of brakes on my S1 M35, but without the big $$ price tag.. I need to tow my race car. ( under 1200kgs).

I found the 14mm caliper bolts hard to get a set of 4 spots for. I rang around a few wreckers & found that the R34 GTT calipers had the same bolt size.

The only mod i needed to do, was to remove the existing backing plate. The R34 GTT kit , bolted straight on. Even the GTT brake hoses fitted up.

Great easy mod for $350. I fitted hawk pads from http://www.vsport.com.au/ .. Been to Phillip Island & back with ease..

Hope this helps..

Was that $350 all up less the pads? Or did you buy new discs as well...that sounds super cheap. Any of you guys know a good wrecker to get the r34gtt setup from in Sydney? And also any idea if it would fit under stock Axis 18s? Cheers!

Hey Guys,

Firstly, I want to apologize if this has been covered, I've read nearly every single page of this thread and I'm still scratching my head..

A friend of mine rolled his 32 GTR recently. I own a 98 S2 C34 and I wanted to swap the rotors and calipers over for the GTR set up. Does anyone foresee any issues with this? Will I need to get custom brake lines made up for the new Rotors, or should it all interchange relatively simply?

Again, sorry if this has been covered, I wouldn't be posting if I wasn't desperate for an answer.

Thanks in Advance :)

You'd just need spacers made up to go around the bolts

the 32r bolts will have a 12mm diameter, but the c34 hubs have 14mm holes

and maybe trim the backing shield on the rear brakes (no spacers needed there tho) tin snips work well

one of the m35 guys does them, but i've had too many beers to remember exactly who (maybe daleo or jetwreck)

Hey guys need some info... I have recently changed the brake pads in my s2 c34 to the bendix ct pad, since then I have a grinding sound and feel coming from the front brakes at low speeds as well as a squeal like having low pads. I don't really feel it when the brakes are cold but after 15min or so of driving it all starts. Have pulled off the wheels and check the rotors and they are still smooth??????

A couple of things - first have you put a chamfer on the leading edge of the pad? Rubbing it on a sheet of sandpaper e.g. will do.

Also have you replaced the backing plates and applied some copperslip or other anti-squeal compound?

Cheers Tom, much appreciated mate!

What about the lines? Are they interchangeable between the C34 and 32GTR set up?

You can use either, running the stagea lines means you will have to pull the "olive" out of the caliper (its the thing at the bottom of the bolt hole)

lip on the rotor?

did you bed them in? (5-10 really hard stops from 100km/h to 50, then cruise at constant speed for 5 mins, using no brakes during that time)

Scotty makes the spacers for the bolts.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By sonicii · Posted

      How much have you lowered?  I had 350Z springs in the rear and was able to pull the camber into factory spec with the factory arms on the rear, obviously the front ran negative camber as it isn't adjustable, but rotating the wheels regularly evened out the wear.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Either the installer needs to come back, you need an auto electrician, or you need to learn automotive electricals yourself.   First step Id look at is where that big thing came out of, is there still things unplugged at that location? Maybe they just forgot to put a relay in or something?

      Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.

      gauge needle removal

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.
