Hey guys.

Getting bored tonight so i might as well try and sus out another of the small probs ive found in the Line

The issue at hand. whenever the handbrake is pulled whilst driving. instead of being offered nice strong rear wheel braking. im given a nice loud screech. (roughly a similar sound to that of tired old brake pads rubbing metal on metal). Anyone had this happen and have a nice easy fix i could do this weekend??

cheers. Luke

the question I have is why are you pulling up the handbrake whilst your car is moving? The handbrake is for hill starts and to stop your car rolling away when it's parked on uneven ground. When you are rolling and want to slow down or stop you use the footbrake.

True. Although it would be nice to have more ways of kicking the back end out then just by using the clutch.

and. they are disc brakes. not drum brakes. 96 S2 R33 gts-t (sorry didnt mention previously)

lol, well fair enough if it's for drift then most likely you have worn it out. and your S2 GTST does have rear drums for the handbrake. you most likely need new brake shoes and possibly the inside of the rotor bell need cleaning up or even replacing (need to replace whole rotor if that's the case).

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
