Hey guys,

Im in the process of doing the 5 stud conversion to my s13 and need to get the rotors machined first, the rear rotors were still attached to the hubs and backing plate. The first one i tried was very easy to come off using the 2 bolt holes, however the second one is being a real bitch and i think its because the shoe inside is stuck or some shit because i can move the rotor around freely and the rock cover gaurd thing is quite bent so i can see down the back and can see that only 1/4 of the shoe is wanting to come out :(

Ive tried heaps of shit but dont want to damage anything so i gave up. Has anyone had any problems or any places they reccomend i can take it to and get it off and how much it could set me back.. :S

Thanks in advance

sounds like it mite b stuck on the spline. iv never workd on a s13, but sound like a hammer job. or a gear puller...if it spins its not a stuck pad....

Loosen off the handbrake shoes. There should be a hole approx 2 cm diameter, might have a rubber grommet in it. Rotate the disc to near "6 o'clock" and there is a cog wheel visible through the hole. Use a screwdriver or similar to rotate the cog (can't recall which direction loosens).

If the rotor is a bit stiff, use a long bar between the studs to rotate the the rotor / hub.

You will probably still need to use the 2-bolt removal afterwards.

      Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell

      Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups.

      The Evolution Of "night Fury"

      75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.

      Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet

      gauge needle removal

      By JC71 · Posted

      okay, so I figured this out, removed needles and reinstalled after swapping the gauge face on my triple gauge for my ER34, all work and look good. I tried to do the same for the main cluster, but the main cluster gauge faces are dished, the replacement gauge face are flat, so due to the dish in the org face ,mounting backing plate (clear) and depth of the needle, the flat gauge face will not work. I notice that R34 gtr gauges are flat, appears to be different clear backing plate that aren't dished. are these available, or what have others done to install flat gauge faces?
