dnt know.

UAS is telling me the caliper will sit 28mm out towards the rim not 14mm!! :confused:

with 33 calipers it would be 28mm

324-296 = 28mm

with 34 calipers it would be 14mm

324-310 = 14mm

I wonder if the 14mm different would be worth the effort?

ed those are the diameter differences. I al talking about the distance the caliper sits out more towards the rim with these gtr calipers as your changing the bolt locations as per what roy said.

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.

So u need wheel clearnce around your current rims or get a bigger offset front rims.

RUS (sau member) recently got imported a r33 with brembo 4 pots and huge rotors and he cant get the 17 inch rims with the semi comps he used on the stock 4 pot gts-t calipers to fit on

ADR compliance? Whats that laugh.gif

yeah, i know.. just if you were in accident or something.. they could claim some b.s. about the brakes contributing to the accident, even if they were inclined to turn a blindy to the rest of the addons.

;) Its sounds like some people are playing with things they don't understand lucky it's only the brakes

there's a few people who know a bit about engineering in this thread mate.

MEH, most of us were past that stage years ago  :)

LOL...

Disclaimer: whilst i dont care about such things these days, thats not to say i dont need protecting from myself.

Like anything with cars, its not hard to get right... but its easy to get wrong

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
