Hi guys,

Just wondering how much I should be paying to get some brackets fabricated to suit using the R34 GT-T calipers on my R31 import struts. Everything is removed and ready to go.

Several of the larger racing fabricator mobs who shall not be named have sort of scoffed at me a little, and then told me they're too busy and to come back in a month, or quoted some stupidly high number and seem rather uninterested in helping.

Perhaps you guys could help.

Thanks,

Mark

They should bolt straight up to the R31 import Struts, if the caliper Mounting for the R34 caliper is 100MM it should fit, i know that R32/Z32 Calipers bolt straight onto the Front HR31 Struts....

Have you tried bolting them on?

just a suggestion, but why not just sell the 34 calipers and get the brembo's that go with the discs, would be the right offset from the get go. or fit the 310mm rotors from the GTT and be happy.

but then theres the price tag on the brembo's.... :huh:

Note the caliper will sit 28mm out more towards the rim.

No they wont :)

324 - 296mm is 28mm sure. But thats the difference in daimeter. You only offset the caliper to suit the radius. So only moves them out 14mm. And since you are only moving them out 14mm, you cant use the same centre holes so need bracket like yours which will also roll the caliper around further so that it can be bolted back in place. So the caliper will now be mounted closer to the 9 o'clock position, where as std they are more up around the 10 o'clock position of the rotor.

I was wondering that!!

Thats what u told me when i asked u ages ago about offset as i have very little clearance between rim and caliper at the moment!!! :D

If it will only sit 14mm out then they should be sweet with my current rims

not to hijack the thread or anything but while we're on the topic of caliper offsets, anyone know what the thickness of the outer side of the caliper is? ie from outer disc face to outer caliper face? need to know wether my rims will hit when i put mine on!

back on topic!

Cheers

:D

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
