Anyone Here In Vic Have Big Brakes On Their R33 Gtr?

[vesh]

I am looking to buy some big brakes for my R33 GTR, but first need to know if they are going to fit over my wheels (18x10.5 Wedsport SA90's, not sure on the offset)

If anyone here in VIC has AP Racing brakes, 6 piston with 355mm rotor can you please let me know if you are willing to let me trial fit one wheel on your car?

I dont mind travelling.

Cheers

mate pm xrotor

355 won't be a problem with those wheels. I have the same ones (so im assuming you own a purple R33 as well? Leewahs old car?).

I have a 356 D2 kit waiting to go on for testing in the next month or so and from the initial look they were going to be fine.

Actually i'll be @ Racepace Tues or Wed, and my wheels are there. I'll chuck them onto a car with brakes (always one there) and let you know.

Yep, thats me, I own Daves old car (Leewah). I bought it earlier this year at a price that couldnt be refused

Do you have AP Racing brakes on your car now?

You sure that you have the same wheels in the same offset as me?

I have been told that the ones I have are one of the only sets in the country.

If they are the same, then that would be awesome

[R31Nismoid]

18x10.5 - i can assure you they are the same as Aaron & I were looking for another set for the better part of 8 months.

I don't have the D2s on yet, but there is always one GTR with a 356mm kit @ Racepace so it won't be a problem.

Will let you know. Probably gonna be Wed as im a bit crook atm.

The diameter of the rotor won't be the problem, its the wider caliper that will cause problems. How much clearance do you have now between the caliper and the spoke of the wheel?

[vesh]

Dont have a lot of clearance with the standard Brembos. Maybe 15mm??

Dont have a lot of clearance with the standard Brembos. Maybe 15mm??

I dont like your chances then, still worth a try Only one way to know for sure

Alternative is spacers, but spacers on a GTR :s?

[vesh]

I wont be using spacers, but I dont want to get rid of these rims.

They make the car

15mm?

What offset are yours?

Been a while since I've looked @ mine but we were almost positive it would be all fine when we were looking a couple months ago as intent was always to upgrade brakes etc.

[vesh]

There isnt a lot of clearance, hopefully they fit

[JAGR33]

It's not the end of the world if they don't, plenty of wheel choices out there that will accommodate for bigger brakes. I'd rather have the braking performance at the sacrifice of having 'wheels that make the car'.....

Just my 2c.....

hey mate pm me and we can organise a time to try them on my car, cheers

What offset are yours? How do I check if I have the same offset as you?
