Hi All,

Just thought I'd post a shameless plug for the good guys at Brakewest in Victoria.

Brakewest is a brake and clutch specialist shop... not nessicarily high performance but they obviously know their two left peddels very well.

I ordered a front and rear set of braided brake lines from Goran around lunchtime (WA time) and they were made up, sent, and arrived first thing this morning. They are excellent quality ADR approved lines made from stainless steel with a clear sheth over the top. They are pressure tested to 3000psi.

I assume prices will vary from car to car (depending on fittings required), but my 32GTR set was $250.00 and $12.50 for express postage.

Awesome service, quality product, good price... cant ask for more than that.

any idea how differet 32 GTR and GTST lines are? if at all?

I had some GTR lines modified to GTS-t. The rear lines are definately the same but the fronts need to be about 20cm longer I think. IIRC it came out to 60cm once you remove the hard line from the back of the caliper, better you measure it though.

Just to clarify, you are saying you had to get the front GTR lines lengthened to fit your GTSt?

I was planning to buy some off the shelf specifically for a gtst so I can do all the brakes stuff at the same time instead, but all I can find are like $400-500 jobs.

Maybe try the mob the Godthrilla used? If they have them for GTR, 1 would assume they would have GSTt ones aswell.

Also, he didnt seem to have any trouble dealing with them.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
