looking to get an idea on how the hand brake works at the calipar on an r32 skyline.

basically wanting to see what needed to be done to get it working on an r31 skyline...

things like:

is it cable or some other system?

is it a part of the calipar?

Cheers, Matt...

well the first thing you need to find out is the hole in the centre of the drum brake have a greater diameter than 72mm? the yellow line is the hole you need to measure, note that is a HR31 drumbrake not a R32 drumbrake

if it isn't greater than 72mm it won't fit on your diff so back to square one and try and find something else. once you find a suitable drumbrake next question do you own/have access a band saw with a metal band on it, MIG welder and have all the parts needed ie drumbrake, calipers and rotors? if not then you will need an engineer to do all this and it will cost lots of $$$, or if you are in brisbane i am half way through putting HR31 drumbrakes and R32 GTR calipers on the rear of my R31, so you can drop around and see what has to be done.

to bolt up the drumbrake will require you to cut the bracket off that holds the axle to the diff and make 2 new brackets, 1 for the drumbrake to mount onto the diff and the other 1 for the R32 GTR caliper to mount onto also you can't use the R31 caliper mount as it has a caliper spacing of 100mm and the R32 GTR caliper has a spacing of 117mm.

thanks for the info guys, the reason i ask is i got the rear brakes and rotors as a package when i bought the fronts, been specking to a bloke from the ozdat forum, he offers a package for the datto 1600 for around $600 so thought id look into what can be done for the r31, with the package they offer they have a seperate handbrake system, have a look....

this would be more of an option for the HR30/31 with the IRS rear end i'd say..

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋

      Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.

      So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
