Hey gents and lady.

Getting my handbrake shoes changed tomoz and just wondering what they interchange with ?

I have a rear disk for normal brakes and drum for handbrake. Also car was NA from factory so I thought perhaps NA S13 ?

s13's dont have drum handbrakes so that rule's that out. I'd be looking at s14's or r32's or something... but pull yours out and find something that matches them.

have you done urs? i remember something about you wanting to tighten the handbrake so thought you might have done them.

Im thinking R32 atm :S

here is a pic of them installed (obviously without the disc on)

Turns out the shoes were ok but they were out of alignment and weren't grabbing the drum properly.

Had to get the rear pads replaced after been told by another place on saturday that they were fine.

Grrr

Also, do you notice a difference with the uras ones ?

well... i bought the URAS brake shoes... they're the same as 32 and most other drum applications...

:/

I have to ask is there anything you can do with the uras ones you can't do with stockies or is the marketable factors of uras ones that they last longer or something?

s14 is disc handbrake... just like sils

r32/r33 are the same

uras ones would be good for supposed performance enhancement

so is this true for the s14 disc brake ? Do they bolt on to the rear of the ceffy? direct replacement?...and are they twin piston likie the 32s and 33s?

thanks ...sorry for going off topic a bit

direct replacement

modify handbrake cables and thats it...

single piston s14/s15... not twin like 32/33

to me it looks the same... put it this way - it wont be a downgrade... youll have 5 stud and larger rotors

the other thing you can do

use the s14 stub axles and hubs... then get 32/33 rear rotors... and use something that runs disc handbrake that isnt single pot caliper...

OR just use your standard stub axles - use 32 hubs... you get to keep your drum handbrake setup... and use 32/33 rotors n calipers (what ive done)

direct bolt on! less muckin

    • Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell 
    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
