did new braided lines

How much were the braided lines? And pads?

Russman did you do the rear aswell? or just the fronts?

Just fronts.

Now I just need to get some better tyres for more grip!

  • 3 weeks later...

Mines half done now, Drilled out the front to 13.5mm Closest drill bit we had in the garage and the 3 toolshops I went to didnt have 14mm drill bits. But did pick up the M14 X 40 bolt I was missing 1.

Once drilled out to 13.5mm I just grabbed a file and started filling away untill the bolt fits through. (It was some special rounded file just fitted through the whole, couldnt believe my luck:D) R34 calipers now bolted on the front and f**k me does it pull up quick.

Cefiros are obviously 4 stud, so did the 5 stud conversion at the same time so that the 5 stud rotors would fit and I get a better selection of mags latter on. Just using my brothers old standard R33 rims since hes upgraded his, works out quite perfectly.

Got to do the rears soon. That shouldnt be anywhere near as bad as im sure the bolts on them are the same size.

Got the 5 stud conversion off Just Jap, $500

R34 rotors/calipers, $700 (includes $200 for postage :devil:, NOTE BRAKES ARE HEAVY) So what was cheap worked out a little bit more.

Standard rotors and standard brake pads, cant wait until they need replacing which is a perfect time to upgrade to Bendex ultimate and maybe some DBA rotors.

One happy chappy here.

Good stuff. So what do you get in conversion? Just the 5 stud hubs? Wow. $200 for postage is pretty extreme even with the weight! I've heard people posting 4 rims for $100!

I'm having a bit of trouble with mine now with heat spots after a fang through the tawonga gap near wodonga. The only thing I can think is the problem is if the spacers on my front wheels (about 3mm) aren't perfectly flat and it is causing the heat spots and consequently vibrations. or maybe it's just brake pad compound, I went for some endless pads. Pretty annoying...

Yeah but I live in perth. Welcome to the most remote place in the planet. Goint From Perth to East is dirt cheap as all the containers go back empty from trucks/trains. Anything East to Perth your paying a mint for as its all full (no spare room)

Cost me $850 to get my car from Adelaide to Perth picked up from/dropped off door to door with insurance.

Not sure with that one. Ive got no problems, yet to do the rear still. I just cant believe how those R34/R33 bakes are, they shit over shitty Silvia brakes.

Hope you find and fix the problem though.

hey guys, im just doing this conversion onto an R31 skyline atm. however, i have it bolted up on one side and it appears that the caliper is not entirely centerd over the rotor. R32/33 brake upgrades are quite common on 31's and usually require no washers to space the rotor out - so i assume if it WAS necessary to space the rotor out then you guys would have run into the same problem. is this the case??

if not, it might explain this vibrating you're talking about as the rear pad is contacting much earlier than the front.

I use to have an R31, I didnt think it was as simple for a brake upgrade on the R31 so I didnt bother. One thing that comes to mind is that you need the GTS1, GTS2, import R31 front struts as they are a fraction bit bigger, and then you can upgrade from their to R32/R33. But best to check on the R31 forums.

    • Yeah agreed, you can't assume that shop are they only people who ever had to work on it. It was just a guess on the mods based on how things were done back then. You can check the Air Flow Meters by the part number on their tags, they are likely either Z32 or Nismo ones (both read about the same but the Z32 one is a little larger while nismo is stock size but supports the higher airflow like a Z32). And yes, all that would get you to 450hp / 340kw To tell what is happening with the turbos, you want a photo of the tag on the core, that will say what it was made out of  (they can retain the front and rear covers to make the plumbing easier)  
    • I'm selling my personal race car. 1992 BNR32 Skyline GT-R About eight years ago the engine developed the dreaded low oil pressure problem. I removed it and found the issue. However shortly after I moved half way across the country, moved my work shop, bought a house, got married, then moved my shop again to it's permanent location for the time being. in turn I do not have the time to race this car as it should be. In turn the engine I built for this car will end up in my street car and this car I hope finds a home with someone who can use it to it's full potential. The roll bar was built by Jason Noren Fabricaiton in Pomona California to SCCA and NASA Specs. The car used to compete in redline time attack and global time attack enthusiast class. It also has a fire suppression system.  The car is with me at my workshop in Kyle Texas, USA. Shipping it is no problem, I can personally deliver the car to the port of either Houston or Los Angeles. Any other port depending on where it is may require transport but we can always work that out.   The chassis itself is rust free, rear quarters and under fenders are free of any rust so it's a very solid foundation for anyone who wishes to move forward with it. As posted and at the asking price of $20,000 USD the car includes all of the following;   All OEM Body panels, front fenders, rear bumpers etc.  OEM Nissan Projector headlamps (Pictured N1 lamps were removed) OEM Nismo Side Skirts / Extensions OEM Rear Spats  Front & Rear Subframes are installed car is full roller Rear Subframe has Cusco Camber Arms, Whiteline HICAS Elimination Front Subframe has Whiteline tension rods and whiteline Sway bars w/ endlinks.  Buddy Club N1 Coilovers All chassis wiring and engine wiring is in tact. Attessa System is fully in tact and was functional before engine removal.  BCNR33 GT-R Brembo Brakes F+R with Endless MX72 Plus Pads, DBA Rotors & Stainless Steel Brake lines Billion Racing Radiator Billion Radiator Hoses Fluidyne Engine Oil Cooler Accusump System (trunk Mounted) 5 Speed Transmission w/ Transfer Case F+R Prop-shafts Rear Differential With rear Axles.  Nismo Gauge Cluster Nismo Clutch + Flywheel   Essentially what is needed to make this car running and driving again is as follows: A working Engine, an ECU, and time to put it together. The price posted is or best offer as I am willing to remove some components to accommodate price to a certain extent. If any serious buyer wants full detailed pictures, videos, or any questions I'll be happy to answer them. I believe this car is priced to move quickly considering it's a rust free and very straight chassis but always open to fair negotiation.  I can be contacted via phone or email.

    • So...to my (and my mechanics doing the swap) surprise...the oil pan from NEO engine does not fit 100% and needs to by modified like this: It is not a huge problem but in the future i want a "proper" oil pan. So question is...what different oil pan can i get to fit without any problems and modification? Thanks! 
    • Some more info I found.  These are the last entries Yoshikiyo Fujii made on his blog before he passed away in 2009: http://blog.livedoor.jp/fujii_dynamics/ And finally this is where the workshop was situated:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/HhTPtHzt3WVcBTiEA
