on 355 and 330 respectivly. now they work realllllly well i can go flat out thrue the kink a wakie no problems. (about 220k) and it pulles up strait and fast.

now i recently changed to the alcons. (piecing together my f40 kit so i can sell it) these run larger pistons. (more leverage) they woprk great buy now i find the fronts are working to hard and there isnt enough going to the rears. (FRONTS BRIGHT ORANGE AND REARS NOT EVAN RED)

my point here is that the 1 inch master on a 32r is great. if only it didnt have the proportioning valve in it. an external one would be the shissel. does a 300xz one have it built in? and its bigger. 27.88 or somehting.

i was looking thru the prb book and theres alot of nissans running 25.4 (1 inch) masters. i just need to find a ilistrated book. or go to the wreckers and rumage thru the box. lol.

seems a few peeps seem to think that the factory pressures are wrong. but its the valve thats the issue. and f**k putting a pedal box with a balance bar in lol.

(and on the v8 supercar. welll sorted,, 5/8 ap cylinders pull type) sbr001 ba coon) the balance bar is alllllll the way over one side to ge the reqired 800ps1/600psi split. prettu usless i rekon.

If it's front bias, then you have the "endurance race" rear master cylinder in it to allow for the fuel load. Change to the "sprint race" rear master cylinder and you won't have that problem.

:stupid: cheers :happy:

you get floating hats?

I think my calipers have knock back springs, as i can always hear the pad's rubbing. I still get bad knock off, i'm hoping a bigger master cylinder will make it a bit better.

yeah. i cleaned the hub properly. ie no rust at all!!!!!! and had them machined. i think it must be wheel bearings cos its only on cornering.

is it definalely front causing the knock back? i have had the GTR and my old R32 do the same thing in the hills on me and it turned out to be rear hub bearings knocking the rear pads back in the caliper.... and it only happened initially when giving it stick in the hills or on the track.

Has anyone heard any reviews on the Project Mu calipers? For an S15 they have 4 pots on 345 x 32mm rotors. The pack with brake lines, adapters and brake pads was $3700 local. Probably cheaper overseas.

I'm in the market for a brake upgrade...

As usual, the tyres are the limiting factor. Past experience has taught me that a set of properly maintained standard R32GTR brakes with decent pads and fluid will outstop any road tyre.

That i can vouch for; The std brakes on my old 260rwkW R32 GT-R never got anywhere near to giving up at either The Creek, Oran or Wakefield, whereas the Falken *cough* Ziex's *cough* had well and truly had enough after about, oh, a lap and a half.

save on brakes- buy shite tyres. lol

(sorry for thread mining :))

    • 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
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
