After another upgrade on the GTR my old wheels no longer fit.

I now has floating 380mm front and 355mm rears with fairly slim calipers but I now only have one set of 18's that clear the caliper. Volk evolution III's

So question is who has a set of wheels over brakes of a similar size and what brand/make are they??

I dont want to be taking the car around the country side trying second hand wheels on it for the next 3 months. I want to buy a second set and know they will fit.

So far I know Work XD9's dont fit, buddy club P1's are close to fitting, R34 GTR wheels have no hope nore do the Uras NS1 things.

After speaking with Eugene aparently TE37's will fit but there is nothing around atm that id be willing to bash around a race track with.

I dont want imaculate ones as im only going to wreck them but if nothing comes up I may have to do just that.

Thats what Eug said as well.

The Uras ones come close but they are just slightly too small to accomodate the caliper im using. P1's would fit if I took 3-4mm off the end radius of the caliper but im trying to avoid that if possible.

Interesting thread as I am trying to find the largest possible diamter disc/caliper wheel combo for 17s. Would there be much difference between the profile/height of a Motorsport Alcon/Brembo caliper to say your OEM brembo off a GTR?

I'm not sure about now but V8SC used/do? to run a 375mm front disc with 17s (obviously purpose built centre lock wheels).

Yeah I have 375mm rotors wit alcon calipers and have the same issue.

TE37's and LMGT4's are the only things I've found that fit.

Volk Challenge, CE28's, a couple of sets of different Enkies and Stock R34 GTR rims definitely don't fit!

Intersting to see.

We ran 375mm V8 Supercar floating rotors on the 34 last year under 34 GTR wheels, no issues. Custom caliper though.... but I didn't really see where the dimensions of the caliper really differed from, say, an Alcon.

Any more progress with this 380mm disc and caliper clearance issue?? Got a few quiries of my own regarding this issue!

Can anyone give details about or where to find inner rim diameters for these wheels (particually the LM-GT4 and TE-37)

Has anyone here fitted 380mm brake rotor discs with 18's? Which calipers were used? Wheels? etc.

Would 380mm brake rotor discs and 6 pot alcon fit a 19" Nismo LMGT4?

Any feedback would be great, cheers.

    • Sounds like the solenoid might be cactus, if the solenoid trigger wire was still attached (and it was just the main power to the starter itself remove). Just to provoke Neil haunting me for the rest of my life... Have you tried tapping it with a hammer while someone switches the key to start? This might work for the fuel pump too... šŸ˜›
    • I need help dealing with an engineer who is massively overcharging me for an engineering report on my modified, written-off Jeep to get it roadworthy. šŸ”¹ Initially, he quoted me $3,500 - $4,500. šŸ”¹ First invoice: $5,315 (already above the quote). šŸ”¹ Second invoice: $1,375. šŸ”¹ Now, he has sent another invoice for $3,100!

    • I dunno man, that VX S with 200,000 k's is still hanging out for 1.5 I reckon the R34 is the better buy, personally.
    • Dang, doesn't even include on roads.
    • Only in a market where OBD was a thing. The rest of the world was quite happy to let the US EPA only affect US cars for quite a while. The* problem with datalogs is that unless you are very familiar with what every trace should look like, on their own and as an ensemble, you can and will see weird shit that can and will lead you astray, not realising that what you are seeing is the normal consequence of various transient inputs. *Really, "a" problem, as there are of course many other problems too. Look, these cars are so bloody simple that if it is missing or stumbling, the obvious thing is to break out the old mental diagnostic list and just go do all the things that you know you should. After proving that the plugs are clean and sound, ditto the coil stalks, coils, loom connectors, etc, and then making sure that there is fuel pressure at about the right numbers (while driving!, not while sitting in the garage free blipping it), then maybe you go looking at AFM voltages, manually testing the igniter, putting a scope on the CAS, etc. Then you're into pulling the injectors for a spray pattern look-see and perhaps a clean, squirting carby cleaner around the inlet manifold looking for leaks, and all the more annoying and esoteric, but still common as muck faults that these things have. I wouldn't ever bother looking at the trims, as they are usually bullshit on these old clunkers anyway.
