Hi there all, i just bought a set of Koya Drift Teks for my Skyline GTS-T R32 today 17x8 fronts and 17x9 rears and they look so damn good.

Anyways, my problem is that the front rims are missing the calipers by 1mm or so and i'm just wondering if anyone else who has these rims on their car has/had the same problem when they first got their wheels?

Already i have noticed that the right front scrapes a little bit at times on the caliper but nothing major as of yet.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Peter

Hey mate, I have Koya Drift teks on my R33 and I thought the same thing, took it for some hard cornering to see if it would be a problem. I've had them for near a year now and the only thing that's happened is some of the "nissan" writing paint was scraped off which was great because it scraped it back to now looking chrome :blink: They are great wheels, have fun

just remember that spacers are illegal, so if you go that route, don't complain if you get caught.

i would just give it a month of so. they should sort themselves out. if you get sick of the noise just grind a mm or so off the nissan on the calipers, like singh said.

Your wheels are hitting your calipers and you wonder if thats a problem !! Well DER ! yes thats a problem.Take the shit back and get wheels that fit.And you wonder why the RTA demand yearly inspections.

dodgy set, they have been machined wrong the 8" should fit. The URAS (doritek copied the uras rims) 17x8" never had an issue, but they are now discontiuned as the new style is released..... which no doubt will be copied soon too :mrt:

      R32 GTR clutch master cylinder adapters

      OK, that is a helpful description, because that sounds exactly like a bleeding issue in the clutch....these are hard to bleed manually even when the damping loop has been removed. I'd suggest bleeding again....start by filling the master cylinder up and opening the bleed nipple. Come back and check every now and then that the master cylinder is not empty. Let it gravity bleed for a few hours and see if that improves

      I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
