I know DBA have 4 stud disk rotors avaliable now :)

I don't know about the code of rotor. anyone know? if DBA released it?

for N/A Skylines you can use following Brake Pads

Bendix;

FRONT:DB 1308BS

Rear : DB 1144BS

Endless Pads

Front TD 148B

Rear TD136B

These were my old Endless pads, they are awesome stopping in any condition HOT or COLD. but it eats away Rotors and Creats bad Black Dust!

ve got a r33.

standard wheels are 205's R15

and basically measured 6.5inches wide

now, ive got 215's R17, and from the tape measure they should read 8 inchs across....yeh i found 17x8's in four stud and the wheels arent too ugly.

thing that stumped me was that, my stock and current wheels are the same width when physically lined up.

i realised the RIm on the stock was 6.5, and the tyre on it bulged out more then the rim itself, yeh the tyre was inflated properly....

that ends my stupid post for today.

There was only one ROH wheel that would fit my car apparently and it was one of those 3-piece wheels, which I don't particularly fancy.

Every shop said that the wheels wouldn't clear the calipers. I was after the Adrenalins but then I noticed everyone else already had them so it didn't matter...

Just replaced my brake pads with bendix premiums and machined the disc down to a shiny finish.

Compared to the pad when i first had the car, the bendix dont have a sudden and sharp bite, but seem to do an okay job so far. Im still in the process of wearing the pads in a bit. They smell a abit though.

They what now? I went to Bob Jane, first and last. When I started, the guy didnt know for sure, so he called ROH and asked.

Even checked on stock levels, and I had my wheels that day fitted. They miss the calipers by a clear inch in any direction.

Might pay to talk to the wheel guys direct if you can

Hi guys and girls, i got a mint set of 4 stud tyres from Speed dreamz (not in operation anymore) for my R33 N/A. They came from tempe tyres in sysdney (i think) and they in turn got them from USA. Im positive that the stud pattern was created here in adelaide......or sydney as they stuffed up the alignment initially and said they had to go back for re-drilling. Whole process from asking to buy the rims to having them on my car (correctly) took about 2 months. So long story short if your happy to wait a while there is decent range out there if you just ask.

Kind regards, Evan

Woah back from 03!

i was going to get a set of deep Dish ones i liked from tempe but somebody said somewhere that they are of crap quality and are heavy.. anyone want to share their opinions? or a good japanese wheel site that do the 4 stud rims?

  • 1 month later...

hey i got n/a 33 and i was wondering what size are the brake rotors. just wanted to know beacuse there was a group buy on new rotors but i dont know how big my stockos are in the first place any help would be sweet

cheers

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
