Dans big brake kit would be another good alternative, you would prop have to be running a set of bigger alloys than just the standard 15's. Just found out that my mate has got a set for sale now :rolleyes: Things like that always come around after you have done something else. :)

Whats the smallest wheel that fits on the brakes, i bet it's r16.

And about the rear brakes, not that they would be insuficinet or anything, its just that it is very hard to find parts for them (like lets say rotors, i ende up using z31 non turbo solid ones, identical excpet for the 5 hole mounting setup). On the other hand, i doubt that the z31 ones (the good, vented ones) wouldnt be any better.

Its 15" but it actually depends on their spoke design. Standard S13 wheels will require 5mm spacers so the spokes clear the caliper

I ended up overcooking some rear brakes, the vented Z31 discs may be a reasonable type of upgrade option if someone was going to change the discs.

Its also not necessary to change the front wheel bearings when its been upart.

i borrowed a bmw disc mart and the disc still will not fit over the s12 hub, it needs a couple of mm off of the s12 hub, do i use one of the holes on the bmw discs as well ?

That's weird when used on an s13 hub the BMW disc is too large a centre bore. You could use one of the BMW holes but it will need to be ovaled a bit to match the pcd. The other 3 will need drilling

i've got r32 calipers now and found out they sit further away than the s14 calipers, so in theory i could use gtr 295mm discs with a 11.5 mm spacer like doski has used, only for some reason r32 discs are extortionate price at £150 each:eek:, i'd like to use bigger discs but i could live with 295mm instead of 274mm std ones, i'am not going to be trackin the car only straight lining, so they should be adequate until next year, then i will probably do what you have done mart.cheers for the help.:)

yes, but you get them re drilled to 4 stud mate.:)

s13eater 03-10-2014 09:03

i used skyline r32 discs in the end.

Current I got R33 GTST dics and calipers here. I think this will fit too?!
