I started pulling my engine. Found some exhaust wheel from my turbo's by the cat. Sad day!!!!!

[wagzilla]

are those the ones from dolphin? how much?

I think they're from Dolphin - got them thru Import Monster with a set of clear side units as well. Total came to around $200 delivered.

[Houdini]

clipped a curb and scuffed my wheel

[RubyRS4]

Abandoned my brake upgrade.

Apparently, despite being told otherwise, R33 brakes do not fit all Stageas!

Now I need R34 brakes, but I've blown my money on R33 brakes.

Can't be f**ked anymore.

ruby, i'm assuming you are having problems with the caliper mounting bolts being different sizes? r33 is m12 and your car m14?

if that's the case, just get some sleeves machined up (pretty sure you could prob buy them already done somewhere as it's a common issue) that are 14mmOD and 12mmID to fit into your knuckle and use the m12 bolts to fit the caliper

[pipster11]

all you need to do is find a metal supplier and see if you can buy some 12mm i.d. pipe with 1mm wall thickness

which will have a 14mm o.d.

also, re-bled my fronts, pretty happy with the pedal

all seems good stops well now

No. Far from it. The legs on the Sumitomo calipers are too short (in radius) meaning even dummying the calipers in place, the 297mm rotors are too large for the calipers suited to them (on the R33). I even toyed with dummying in place the 280mm rotors and the calipers still fouled on the rotors (even when I spaced out the offset).

So the R33 GTST calipers and 297mm rotors have the right offset, but totally wrong radius (by about 20mm); and

The R33 GSTS calipers and Stag 280mm rotors have the wrong offset, and still wrong radius (by about 3mm).

Something to do with the 14mm bolt pattern for the calipers being close to the centre of the hub.

wierd as. I have r32 gtr front and rear (had on front, have on rear) on mine, they are the same size as 33 gtst.

is yours S2?

[SABBAi]

Sounds to me like the R33 calipers you have are actually R32 GTSt calipers.

Nope. Series 2 R33 GTST calipers and rotors. Pulled them off the vehicle myself. Sumitomo calipers are unfinned and rotors are not 280mm, so therefore definitely R33 GTST calipers and rotors.

They do not fit.

Might have found a set of R34 GTT calipers and rotors interstate ... so I'll be f**king off this useless set.

the mounting dimensions are the same from 33 to 34 and the actual calliper is very similar (pistons and things)

all that is really different on the 34 callipers is the length of the legs, but its only longer relative to the bigger rotor

eg, 296 to 310 = 14 so the legs would be ~7mm longer

yup i'm also very confused ruby

[RubyRS4]

yup i'm also very confused ruby

The basics of it all is:

R33 GTST rotors and calipers are a direct bolt on for series 1 Stagea

R34 GTT rotors and calipers are a direct bolt on for series 2 Stagea

Contrary to what I was told. R33 rotors and calipers do not fit ALL stageas.

Think I'll just leave it and get the 325mm Wilwood kit after all

[Tangles]

Im going to fit my 325mm wilwood kit to the stagea

let you know how it goes. oh those patches do shit-all, sorry

[chef_stagea]

put some drift teks on the stag today

17x9.5 +18 got some 235's over them sit very nice

[d1_drifter]

Always wanted to know how black drifteks in GTR offset would look on my Stag. Now I know!

Sits pretty mexican on the rear. I like!

[SABBAi]

Get some neg camber on that sucker - STAT!! 4mm different offset than mine (+22) and your's is full mexican!

I fitted my bluetooth adaptor for the headunit, so now I can take and make calls without worry of getting busted on the phone.
