Question for GT-R builders on front suspension parts to remove spacers

[Robert Roth]

Hi - my GT-R kit should hopefully be arriving soon and I've been reading essentially every build thread I can find ( amazingly impressed by the capabilities of the builders in this forum!). One thing I know I will need to do is change out the front suspension components to allow for removal of the spacers / adapters used on the front wheels - both for easier steering and here in Pennsylvania any 'wheel spacer' > 5mm in size will prevent passing technical and safety inspection to get registered. I've found these described and pictures of the changes that H came up with, but can't find out really exactly what parts I need to do this change ( believe they are McMaster Carr and Speedway, but haven't had luck identifying exactly which ones). With H no longer engaged, is there any chance that someone from the forum who's done this could share with me the part numbers needed to make the change?

Thanks!

Actually - should have read further on Kurtis's thread - found the instructions and part numbers there - apologies for unneeded post .

Robert,

It is fully documented in Kurtiss’s build post #256 with an attached pdf…

Thread 'Kurtiss' GT-R'

Oct 3, 2017

I have been lurking in the background for a few years watching all the great build threads and trying to decide what car I would like to build. Sure, I’ve looked at the car manufactures like Superformance, CAV, Factory Five, Race Car Replicas, Superlite and many others. In 2016 I discovered the GT-R by Superlite. I felt it was the best of all worlds – the fantastic and timeless look of the GT40 with the updated styling and larger size of the Robertson Racing GT’s.

For the past year I have been watching Allan build his beautiful Chevy powered red GT-R, Dean Lampe and his Coyote engine...

Thanks Joel - I found that post ( somehow missed it the first time reading through his build thread).

Also, Kurtiss did two more pdfs for the Graziano and an Infinitybox/wiring Schematic.

Just watch out if you are planning H’s mod of moving the upper shock mount.
There is a chance that the lift pucks don’t have enough room if you’re planning to use it.
The Ramlift might fit but I don’t think the Viair fits.

Thanks - that is very useful information to have.
