There was someone on SAU getting front calliper extension brackets made up for Skylines. I have tried every search combination I can think of and I can’t find the thread. I have an urgent need for a couple of sets. So if anyone remembers who it was or where the thread was located please let me know.

:D cheers :P

SK,

man this search engine pi$$es me off!!

Anyway the bloke I know who is in the process of making & testing these to suit a R33 is Mark and his username is rougepi. Email addy is:[email protected]

I think I got his info from one of Roy's threads.

Cheers.

I remember the thread where u put yourself down for a set or two, i think it was in the group buy section but i just looked through 14 pages of threads and couldnt see it. However i might be blind :D

I also would like some good quality adaptors so i can run a larger disc at the front!

Someone needs to do a group buy with a respected business with brackets and new dba slotted rotors!

If anyone wants 280mm to 324mm brackets then i was going to get a few made up. Im about to get another few brackets made for my car as im having another play with the front end.

If you 296 caliper guys want bigger rotors, id be looking at something bigger then 324...im about to try 296 caliper on a 340mm rotor.

But there are 330mm etc if 340 is too big, will know soon enough. But really depends on what you want to spend on rotors, 1 piece, 2 piece etc etc

PM sent instead.

Hi Roy, I need 3 pairs of spacers.

2 pair for 280 to 324 (Brembo sized rotor)

1 pair for 296 to 340 (what rotor is this?)

How long are we talking?

How much $?

:O cheers :P

The 340 x 32mm rotors i have are Performance Friction rotors. http://www.performancefriction.com/pages/about_pfc.htm

The problem with the 340mm sized rotor is that the pad contact area on the rotor may not be ideal. If its not then im going to just grind down my pad to suit...smaller pad may give me more bite so not all bad. Long term though once i have gone though the set of pads if its not ideal then i will change calipers and stick with the 340mm rotor. Will see how the Porsche 6 pot goes (17" wheel)

Can get the 280 to 324 in say about a fortnight, not really a problem as i have the CAD File etc and i know they are ok as they are what i use on my car. And have used the machinist before.

340mm ???....I need to get the hats made up for my 340mm rotors so at the mercy of how long that takes...its all taking longer then planned as my car still isnt resprayed (hence no swaybars yet :))

So ideally need hats made up, which i would like to be done in conjunction with trial fitting to the car (no car is delaying that from happening). Then see how it all goes, so dont think i can honestly say....

For prices...meh, i dont know. I hadnt firmed it all up as my car is still a few weeks away from needing them..but i can chase it up if ppl want some. If you knwo a machinist who you are mates with then thats always an option, as the guy i use is good, but i dont have any real relationshiop with him so i doubt i am getting the cheapest price going around :laugh:

The 296 to 340 is not urgent. One of the 280 to 324 is urgent though, 2 weeks is OK. If you want to email me the CAD drawing, I can ask our race team machinist to quote on making them asa price comparison.

:O cheers :P

You can put me down for a set of brackets to for 280 to 324, as long as they work.

I take it u use the standard gtst 4 pot and just replace the rotor and mount the caliper with the bracket?

If so im in!

Thanks guys

Nah guys I have just bought the best kit so check this out Gary and co. www.cazracing.com has just developed a Nissan 280-324mm disc and adaptor kit. The discs are gold slotted and passivated 324mm and the adaptors are from billet T6061 alloy with helicoils and hex bolts bolt on affair $710 no more to pay. This was developed for the 300zx on their forum but will fit gts-t's etc with the same disc size. All the parts are available separatley and adaptors are $220 inclusive of bolts. Good value imho. Caroline is a really nice lady and even has pads modified so you don't lose pad area. Tell her I sent you, I got mine today and can't wait to get them on the zed car.

Cheers

Thanks for that Rich, I already have DBA rotors and Hawke pads, I just need the brackets and bolts. I sent Caz off a query. If anyone else wants a set let me know and we might be able to do a Group Buy price.

:D cheers :laugh:

Hey gary, put me down for a set of whatever you get. The ones from caz sound good, bring on the group buy :)

you guys should all buy these thingys off troy. no one i know spends more time thinking about brakes and skylines and sometimes skyline brakes. if anyone is going to get it right it's him. and being some kind of slow witted communist he will probably sell them to you at a price less than it cost him. hehe ok, maybe philanthropist was a better word choice...lol

    • I know why it happened and I’m embarrassed to say but I was testing the polarity of one of the led bulb to see which side was positive with a 12v battery and that’s when it decided to fry hoping I didn’t damage anything else
    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
