Stagefumer,

Does your car have the same radiator, size & configuration?

Mine looks heaps bigger than in these pics.

Cheers, D

I suspect the radiator may be out of an aussie R30, as there is a blanking panel added to the drivers side to cover up part of the opening in the radiator supoort panel.

You mean later, surely?

But I'm punting this master cylinder/booster combination for the DR one.

It's same configuration as '81/3 but has a 1" diameter master cylinder. I just had to source the front brake lines from an early model car, which I now have. As I'm going with a full on DR brake set up, front & rear. Fronts with slotted rotors and EBC pads all round.

I have 15/16 master cylinders in the later configuration if anyone is interested. 2 from memory.

actaully from what i have seen, i wouldnt take this is gosple. Acording to the system at my work late 1983 onwards master cylinders changed to the smaller style one. compared to the earlyer had the r32 style master/booster. And that the brake ballance block is external to the cylinder on the after 1983 units. Which will be a pain when i swap it over to the r32 unit.

the radiator in my HR30 was a 280C radiator.

I replaced it yesterday with a radiator out of a manual MR30, which fits the full width of the radiator support opening unlike the one in the pic above. I also had to use the manual R30 top rad hose. the overflow connector faces the wrong side of the car, but that's no biggie. I also replaced the worn alt/waterpump belt and replaced the bearing in the idler puller for the power steer. Its so quiet now!

I also have a stupid question - the amber 'headlight-looking' light in the dash is on sometimes when the lights are on. Sometimes its out, and occassionally it flickers. Is this supposed to be a charge warning light??? if so, why does it look like a damn headlight?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all

      300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
