Gtst Brakes Shave?

[czy18e]

I need to shave 5mm of my r33 calipers.can i do this?

how much can safely be taken off?The part with nissan written on it plus 1mm is all i need.

[mad082]

the part with the nissan would PROBABLY be ok (not 100% on that) but as for the next 1mm, that may not be ok.

Ive done it with no adverse effects that i can tell, apart from it looking crap.

But there is barely 1mm of clearance between the rims and brakes at the moment. Just means i dont use the brakes as much , which makes for less thermal expansion.

I would say dont do it if you can avoid it, im assuming its to fit some rims in the wrong offset. Ive actually bought another set of front calipers and im waiting for some nice rims, so i can put "untampered" calipers back on. i reckon the cops probably wouldnt like it either.

cheers

buy some different wheels, or some bolt-on, hub centric spacers.
