Handbrake Brake Shoes

[Trust33]

i have just removed the driver side rotor/hub. i know a little about shoes. but a little is all i know. i noticed that the right side shoe is missing a screw and spring to hold it in place. i found the spring but not the screw. can i buy the springs separatly or will i have to shell out for a whole new kit? the pic where my finger is pointing at the hole is where the spring and screw should be. the shoe just wobbles everywhere without it.

also can i adjust the shoes out a little more, by using what looks to be the adjuster? its at the very bottom! you cant see it in the pics though.

and is there enough meat left on them?

if you want me to take a few more pics of them then i can

i would replace them, if you drift fit uras or kazama shoes if not std are cheap and easy to get.

send me your addy and i will send you the missing parts

[Trust33]

i see what your saying. and yes i am getting into drifting. uras are not cheap either. i read they are $212 a set. i might just buy a brand new set of OEM ones.

i noticed that all of the brand new shoe kits dont come with the springs to afix them. i have to use the old parts. which leads me to beleive that all springs and screw components can be bought separatly.

they do look pretty though

yeah they work 1000% better than oem.... its the main reason the japs dont use hydraulic handbrakes... the uras and kazama shoes are the best solution. when you consider the cost of a hydraulic handbrake and a set of shoes that do the same job.... they start to look very cheap

Sorry for hijack but do they have the shoes for an R34 Gtt?

Because i can't find them..

yes. take off your rear calliper and rotor to expose the fabeld handbrake brake shoe.

i read they are $212 a set. price changes though.

im going to kep the current pads untill they wear a little more then buy some good ones. in the end i went to nissan genuine parts and got the retaining spring assembly. no one would sell it separatly. for obvious reasons.

[Fujiwara]

yes. take off your rear calliper and rotor to expose the fabeld handbrake brake shoe.

I meant the aftermarket replacements

Because so far, i can only find replacements for drum brake setups

[Trust33]

im sure they do.

your options are:-

* nissan genuine

* Going to a clutch and brake specialist and give them your shoes to bond new pads onto them. if u do this ask them if they can re-bond them with performance pads in mind.

* i should think that they are out there aftermarket for r34 i cant see why not. id imagine that they could be the same as the r33. look arround. throw URAS a pm.

im putting mine back in today. should be fun as ive never done it before.

The old yelloe type were the same material as the Project MU, but the new black URAS shoes are 10 times better. The new material was developed in D1GP by guys using upwards of 275 section semi slick tyres. Not to be confuse this with a sales speil but we offer money back garantee on all our pads/shoes we are that confident in them.

[Fujiwara]

URAS, did u get my PM?

[Birth]

How much are OEM pads? Where can you get them from?

[Simon-S14]
