Hi all, I want to upgrade my brakes on my commodore and am thinking that the R33 gtst brakes front and rear would be a good and cheap upgrade. I have the option of using a 23.8mm master cylinder or 25.4mm master cylinder. Which would be more suited to the gtst calipers? I am completely confident on making all the adaptos and brackets, but after much searching, there seems to much science involved with brakes and matching them. Any thoughts or tips would be welcomed. Car is a VH comodore with 1JZ GTE, so it does need some better brakes. Thanks

use the vt-vz twin pot brakes and the matching rears from the same car. I believe places like hoppers stoppers etc. makes kits to fit a vh for good prices. Use the 1" master as thats what these use stock, give much better pedal feel than the smaller one 16/17th or whatever it is.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
