Ecr33 Work wheel MD disk front fitment

Does anyone have experience fitting a work MD disk wheel face with oem ecr33 calipers? I'm not sure if I will need a spacer to clear the caliper and I want to make sure I order the proper offset if I'm going to have to kick the wheel out a bit.

What model wheels is it for? spoke design is a bigger influence on caliper clearance than disk choice.

My guess, mid disk will be heaps of space for OEM R33 calipers.

Thanks for the reply Leroy! The wheel faces are Work VS-SS

Im currently running 18x9.5+20 all around and like that look so wheels are same specs, only thing changing is the rear at 10.5in

 

Thanks for your input! Cant wait to get the wheels next week!!

So 18x10.5 +20 doesn't clear the rear brakes? Is that what you're saying?

Not sure where you're getting this conclusion form previous posts. All subjects and statements made are about the front caliper clearance.

you said you were running the same specs, but only changed the rear?

or have you gone from a 1pc wheel to 3pc in the same specs? any photos?

Only thing changing on my new wheel setup was the rear is a little wider but thats not a issue. My main concern and reason i started the topic was for the front caliper clearance with the Work Md disk.

Yes,  I was going to a 3 peice wheel setup with the same specs in the front but I know some disk type dont clear big calipers. Shop I got them from estimated a 5 to 8 mm spacer but I wanted to check if someone had done it before so I knew exactly the spec of the spacer i needed. 

Ecr33 + work MD disk = need 15mm spacer in front

Case closed :cool:

    • These are small points I should actually add to my original post. GKtech makes an extended slave line for this conversion. It's what I use, and it works well. You'll also need a CD009 slave cylinder.  S/R Chassis Z33/Z34 Conversion braided clutch line As for transmission sensors, you'll need to both extend the wiring and replace the connectors. I can't recall which is which, but one is your neutral switch and the other the reverse switch. As they are just switches, just test for continuity with your transmission in neutral or reverse to figure out which is which. Connectors:  VQ35 neutral Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties VQ35 Reverse Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties 
    • I’ll try and see it could be the release bearing. As for the 4th gear grind maybe clutch doesn’t disengage properly cause it is slightly like very slightly hard to go into first could be due to the slab cylinder pin being short uni clutch is a twin plate.   Ive attached some assembly photos hopefully you can open the link and see maybe detect what’s wrong https://share.icloud.com/photos/0dc2YvW__Hl6jl-l2_0jejjpg https://share.icloud.com/photos/09e0jkWOK-vP48c1cfY6u3ViA https://share.icloud.com/photos/0b4rDmh5R7pK7fb1VtND73a3g https://share.icloud.com/photos/05eeUi_6dC4DVi80jOUYDgb0g https://share.icloud.com/photos/06335TgY1XxyIJal_wkdQLhzw
    • Yeah for sure that is peddle adjustment 
    • What are your thoughts on this after having it for a while, worth getting?
    • Downshifts are harder on transmissions than upshifts, the input shaft naturally slows down once disconnected from the engine so the synchros aren't doing all the work. There's no "natural" tendency for an input shaft to increase RPM. Something is not right there, I don't have a great answer on what. You can try a dedicated GL4 75W90, I plan to switch to Motorcraft XT-M5-QS which is supposedly a very good 75W90 for NB Miatas which have a weirdly sensitive transmission from the factory. I would chase down why your clutch is making a hissing noise, that's not normal. It might be no big deal but in the absence of anything else to investigate I would look at that.
