I got hold of some M-type front brake for my 32. but i just got the calipers and rotors and a few fitting that go with it....

this is from http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/R3...ml&hl=brake

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To do conversion:

a) type-m 4pot caliper x 2

B) type-m brake lines and all fittings x 2 (mandatory!) <----------------------------------- ZOMG! My lines were cut!!!!!

c) type-m spec discs, which will generally be much thicker than the non type-m

d) brake fluid bottles x 2 (DOT 3 or better rating) - supercheap auto

e) brake bleed kit (supercheap auto)

"In a way this is one of the more fiddly parts of the process. Make sure you have the type-m lines or equivelent, as the non type-m have a different thread pattern on the caliper end and WILL NOT work (trust me I tried)"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So that means i need M Type lines from somewhere?

has any1 done this conversion b4, any help would b appreciated!

Maybe try somewhere like Pirtek, I think they come out too but charge a call out fee or alternatively just take your parts in and see what they can do for you.

Failing that finding a wreck somewhere. Btw, what sort of $$$$ does it cost to upgrade just out of curiosity.

yeh thats just the lines... i cant find my effen camera atm. ill post some pics tomorrow. the calipers still have the 'm-spec' lines goin into them but they are cut further along the lines... so just past where the bracket sits, so i was thinking of just trying to undo the hose at 1 of the connection points and try and fit my hose in there.

*edit - Thanks for the link tho Evil, i need all the help i cant get :D*

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
