Bad News for Me

[Guest Miss_Nismo]

I have an old engineers certificate, they don't care. I don't believe the car is dodgey as i have all the registration papers showing it has been registed with that engine.

Regency should really only be doing an identity inspection, but they "insisted" i get this modifation inspection done, now they have screwed me over. Why don't they update their ****ing figures to save people the time, hassle, and money of ****ing around for something that isn't even necessary.

I do have the measurements required, they were:

296x32mm and mine are 280x26

[whatsisname]

Considering you've got all the documentation (engineering certificate, ex-NSW rego papers) it seems the Regency guys have decided to make their own rules! There's probably a small clause in the rego transfer guidelines that allows them to pretty much do as they please. Which is bullshit

[Guest Miss_Nismo]

Yeah unfortunately the government have too much power

May I ask if they actually said the brakes are to smaller diameter or they weren't legal....the reason I ask is that normally the measurement they check is the thickness of the disk and most of the 32's I have seen (Mine included) all have a sizeable lip on the rotor due to wear. Perhaps you just need some second hand 32 gtst disks that are the correct thickness, just a thought? Also in Australia I understood that all the wheels need is that funny little embossed symbol on the rim that states that it has passed certain design rules and that is enough to pass it, I just bought a set of rims for my new car and they are made in australia by ROH and they don't have the size marked on them.

there is no mark on the mags at all that is the problem.

I am after the sizing of the R34 GT-t discs so that I can return to vehicle inspections and dispute the size they are saying i need on my car.

The R32 GTSt brake size is 280 x 26mm and they want me to get 296 x 32 mm, which inturn means i will probably have to opt for R32 GTR discs and calipers.

If i have the correct figures for the R34 brakes then i may be able to proove that the size they are quoting is bigger than what I really need.

Or maybe i just give up and get an engineers certificate! :uh-huh:

So far I have rang nissan and other well known jap performance companies in adelaide and no-one can give me this info.

Mel,

if you need a set of 32 gtst rims to borrow with new tyres on let me know - I have some sitting in my shed.

I also had a airbox which you could have used as well!

I am told 33GTS25t disks will fit into stock 32 calipers, and they are from memory about the size that you require

Chris

[Guest Miss_Nismo]

that's nice of you to offer chris, i will see how i go with the rims.

I figured someone on here would have a stock air box but i left it too late to post.

33 GTST brakes are just too small

[TIMMMAYYY]

About time we had someone lend a hand to something havin troubles with regency! On ya chris!

I just had my front discs replaced by DBA slotted rotors, and they tell me that they are 296 x 32... and i have a '95 GTS-t.

Are you sure GTS-t discs are too small? I have the old rotors here if you want them; they are in pretty good condition; no wear 'lip' - i can measure them if you want

[Chris32]

On the DBA website they state that 33GTS25T rotors are 296x30, and R32 GTR rotors as 296x32. They don't have a listing for a R34GTT yet, but I would say they must be differant from the 33 otherwise they would have them listed. The rears are the same though.

What about fitting R33 GTS25T calipers with 32 GTR rotors? its only a 2mm differance in thickness so I reckon they might fit?

I spoke to Grant form Jap Import Dismantlers a week or so ago about the brakes on his car, as he put 32 GTR brakes on the front and rear, from memory he used new R33 rotors in the GTR calipers, and GTR calipers and discs on the back.

He reckons I should get 33GTS25T rotors for my car, which he says will fit in the stock 32 caliper. If you could get away with this, thats the way I would go

Their number is 8266 0212, tell him Chris sent you, he'll give you a good deal

I think Four Brothers Imports had about 4 32 GTR front cuts, might be worth a look?

[Guest Miss_Nismo]

oh too many measurements

[Clint32]

My old man has a gtt, so if i remember i will try and get the disk sizes in a couple of days.

pimp!

thanks dude!

[Clint32]

the discs seem to be 30mm thick, and 300mm in diameter but its bit hard to tell with the wheels on, they use the same caliper as the 32GTR and the 33 gtst so if you could get hold of some 33 gtst brakes should be easiser than gtr stuff and some second hand discs that should do the job.

i need 32mm thick discs

[Guest Miss_Nismo]

Well just when i thought it couldn't get any worse!

A long time mechanic of mine put a chuka chip in my front bumper which he refuses to repair.

Then, I found some GTR brakes, got them sent over, and they are GTSt brakes!

WTF is going on!

f^@k!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[japtaxi]

I can only offer moral support here...

Don't give up, you will get there.

It was certainly alot easier for me back then doing the engine swap when the car is still registered, only need mod plate for engine/gearbox and none of these nusense.

Seems like not long ago you had your pulsar engine transplant done..

[Guest Miss_Nismo]

Good news for me!

A strapping young lad by the name of little niggler trotted over from perth (apparently he's on the forums somewhere), and sold me some GTR brakes so i am back on track

mel

[TIMMMAYYY]

Hey mel hav ya got hold of the brakes yet? How are things coming along?
