Hey guys

Im in the process of sorting big brakes for my 32GTR, and i realized SAU doesnt have a thread with "what rims fit over what brakes"

So here it is :P

Post up what brake and rim combos have worked, and what hasnt for future reference

Template to copy and paste is below

Cheers :P

Car Model:

Year:

Rim size:

Rim name/type:

Rim offset:

Face type:

Brake brand:

Caliper size:

Disc size:

Rim internal diameter:

There are some templates available for brake packages so you can check if they fit into wheels. Here are some random ones.

I would also suggest that the inner wheel diameter gets listed aswell as this changes from rim to rim. If anyone does the cardboard cutout thing please take a picture (or two) & post it.

The three pdf's are

1. Endless 6 pot on a 343 rotor.

2. AP CP5555 on a 343 rotor.

3. Alcon as per the data sheet.

yeah inner wheel rim diameter is key. it varies more than you could imagine with different brand wheels in the same 'size'.

troy and I have had this discussion many times, and I've measured a few sets of 17X9s I have. many sort of step down in the center, some are very flat. some rims just go on one sort of angle down from one side to the other (thus you have big step on one side, small step on the other). car wheels are a far more complex shape than you'd think.

but I have generally found, the good, japanese forged wheels have very thin rims, and very good internal diameter.

Thats exactly what i need!

Oh, and someone to donate their rims for measuring

I will willingly trade kidneys or sexual favours for the inner diameter of a Rays RE30, CE28 or Nismo LMGT4 in 17*9".

LOL..i will measure up the 17x 8.5: i have on the yard...will be damn close (LMGT4). And the GT4 and TE37 have more itnernal clearance then the CE28.

There was a thread i started a few years ago on this topic...perhaps rehash it as a lot of people posted their brake setups and wheel types in that thread

Had a look over the 22 pages of threads you've started but cant see it?!

I just measured with a tape measure 420mm inner diam on my 18x10.5" RE30's...

You can forward your sexual favours and kidneys to this address...............

I thought I might as well post mine up, no one else did >_<

    • How do you go about diagnosing ecu's that don't have data logging, is it more experience at that point and just trying out things that you think will fix the issue?
    • Stock O2 are basically useless beyond anything at stoich. Any misfire will also be seen as lean. The stock O2 also read a collective exhaust gas volume, not each cylinder. Sputtering and missing means not each cycle is firing, and some are. Which means even if rich, as shit, on cylinders as they miss, they'll read lean, but the cylinders that did fire will read rich, and combined, well, they can read anything from rich to lean.   Start with the basics before even going looking at sensor values.   Edit: I say the above, and that's coming from the guy with a few thousand dollars worth of scan tools sitting right beside me right now that I use frequently for my job.
    • I just finished up a manual swap and I have a 1999 S2 AWD automatic in my garage, depending on where you are located. I'm in the the midwest of the US.
    • I’ve heard it can be done, you need to redrill the holes where they bolt to the chassis and apart from that they are the same. I’ve never done it or know anyone personally that has, it’s just something I’ve heard 
    • If it's reading full rich prior to a misfire that gives one directional hint, if it's already reading lean, etc. If it's reading pretty cleanly stoichiometric then suddenly drops out from a misfire that suggests it's not air mass estimation that's the problem. Could be ignition, could be something more subtle. Could be the CAS has decided to start dropping out at random or the drive pin is worn leading to excessive lash and trigger errors. LTFT can tell you the same but it's slower to react and if this is a recent issue it might not have stabilized. STFT stuck in one direction vs fluctuating back and forth can be used instead but I like to read O2 voltages anyways and interpret directly. If the O2 voltages make no sense in general or are super slow to react it could also be a failing O2 sensor. There's no real error correction for failing O2 sensors in these cars.
