hey all

these are my brakes

http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.p...st&id=85173

i just bought r34 gtt rims but they wont clear the front calliper, i dunno why :S i thought they would clear them fine but obviously not.

full details here

http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.p...howtopic=233226

bit of info:

car had aftermarket rims, i dont have any r32 or 33 rims to try, i will try borrow some of a mate.

calliper "nissan" logo has already been ground back

the calliper rubs the inside of the rim; where it connects to the hub

just a couple of q.s

1. could they not fit because the car was orig an auto? might have been n/a but i dont think it was

2. i have the proper hub spacers, but the centre bit it too wide for the centre of the rim.. what can i do about that?

3. what type of brakes do i have?

thanks heaps

From the sounds of it, if his having problems with clearing the front brakes it would be GTT rims because the offset is like +40 or greater so they stick closer inside the guard.

IF they were GTR34 rims he shouldn't have problems clearing the tiny brakes on his car compared to brembos off a gtr34 its just that it'll look werid ( i think) because of the +30 offset so the rims will stick out of the guards like a 4wd!

i wouldn't run spacers, whats the point just to get some stock gtt rims on the car, just offload them and source some other rims.

thats my 2cents.

It looks like you have regular old r32gtst brakes on there.

It's weird that the rims are fouling as i have seen GTT rims on an s15 which has a near identical caliper and same size rotor and there was heaps of room.

Do you have a pic of the rim on the car showing where it fouls?

odd... I've fitted them perfectly, and seen quite a few other 32 with them on.. maybe you have some slightly different discs? although even then I wouldn't have thought that wouldn't have made a massive difference. I have DB4000 discs.. I am sure the calipers sat out further (towards the edge of the rim) than you have it sitting.

Here we are, when I was test fitting some ages ago..

tht is really weird. I too have seen stock gtt wheels on an R32,33,S15, Stageas with no problems. If it came of an R34GTT and doesn't fit ur car this would imply you have bigger brakes than a stock GTT?? Your brakes or discs are probably not factory.

Agreed.

yeah i think i just got aftermarket brakes

i just got a pair of slip on spacers, and after 15 mins of driving the studs were around 15-25degrees loose (if that makes any sence).

I think ill have to get the proper spacers...

the aftermarket discs make bugger all difference, unless they have a bell that is the wrong offset for your car (which is unlikely as they wouldn' fit on the hub properly if that was the case). The caliper and rotor size looks completely stock to me.

thanks for the no shit sherlock remark too. I'll remember that next time i'm trying to help you trouble shoot your problem. the picture made me think it's possible you were putting them on the wrong way. I still can't figure out why you put up a pic of a spacer sitting in front of your wheel then if you know they fit behind it?

edit: figured it out better from your other thread.

question - rb2532 is in your avatar.

Is that a rb25de r32, that u have converted to use the r32 gtst 5 stud rotors and brakes?

Maybe them spacers were used on a different car to fit them rims to it. Cant u just fit some skyline spacers?

rb25det

was converted in jap, im thinkin the car was auto non turbo 4 stud, but im not sure which brakes its got..

I bolted up a set to my R32 and found the calliper touched the inside of the rim slightly. They require a thin spacer.

OR.

Throw on a set of R33 GTST or R32 GTR front callipers.

Have you had any problems with ur wheel nuts loosening up?

I have after 15 mins of driving :S

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By MBS206 · Posted

      The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.

      No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️

      Thanks for sharing this, and BTW if your headlights are in good condition they are worth thousands....you might want to consider replacing them with brand new LED ones like this (https://www.nengun.com/78works/full-led-headlights-r32-skyline) and making enough profit to buy a house in Sydney

      I'm not sure what sort of shops are nearby, but I'd expect any reasonable exhaust shop could put a cat in it that will not restrict the power that engine makes. Otherwise, if you want to remove it, short lengths that replace the cat are readily available online, search for "de-cat pipes" or "test pipes"
