it's easier to drill the strut brackets to 14mm...

except that he has an R34 and is going the other way... from 14mm DOWN to 12mm...

When I put R32 GTR brakes on the front of my stagea I didn't bother with sleeves. the calliper doesn't move when it's torqued up,1mm of clearance around the bolt didn't make any difference in my application.

Justin...

ah yes, the sleeves in the link are for the strut bracket - which needs doing when going from 4 stud to 5 stud.

The caliper ones could be done with the same sleeves cut down a bit probably.
It shouldn't be hard to find a bit of metal tube that'll fit - even if you have to cut a slit in it to reduce it a bit.

Yeap, doing what Justin said.
getting the ones off ns.com and cutting them down to 10mm which is what i need.

Thought i would have to go hunt for R34 GTT brakes but no longer need to anymore :)

i rather the bolt to be perfect fit, maybe that's just me but i like to be on the safe side.
