i got 15" GTS type-S barrels/rims over my GTS-t Type-M calipers, but the disk fouled at the front, rear was fine.

depends what silvia ur talking about, AFAIK S15 15" stockies are 5 stud, so they might fit, my worry is they will foul on the disks.

S15s did not come with 15inch wheels standard... I think he's talking about S13. maybe NA S13 or something. and yes S15s are 5 stud, but he's surely not talking about putting GTST brakes on an S15 they are basically the same thing. only the S15 ones would be much newer...

Toby has a rally car (make and model unspecified) which is fitted with 15" rims that happen to also fit a Silvia. He wants to know what size rims came standard on a R32 GTS4 so he can determine if the GTS4 brakes will fit inside the 15" rim.

The number of studs for the "Silvia" rim is totally irrelevant to the question. And which Silvia / 200SX had 15" rims or 4/5 studs is also irrelevant.

In answer to the question - as previously stated, R32 GTS4 comes with 16" rims standard. That does not necessarily mean that the brakes will not fit inside a 15" rim on his rally car. That will be governed by the size of rotor on the rally car, and the relative position of the caliper mounting lugs on the strut. It will be pretty much "suck it and see".

Hi mate,

You understand my question EXACTLY!!! I have an S13 SR20T rally car which I would like to fit the 4 spots to the front. I know they bolt on and I will be getting new blank rotors and redrilling them myself to 4 stud.

Looks like I will have to "borrow" some old rotors and calipers off a GTS4 so I can trial fit them. I am a little worried seeing as the donor car (GTS4) had 16's as standard. I do have a couple of different sets of 15 inch wheels, so I might be lucky and get the brakes to clear.

Thanks for all the responses guys!

I just ran some injector cleaner through her. started roughly the first time after adding it but gave it the beans slowly upto 4k, Must have cleaned a few cobwebs out. another step in the right direction for the sub

      Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in

      Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.

      Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.

      How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
