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!

What are you trying to do? Just convert to the larger 4 pot brakes?

That person you quoted that you'll need to get the bigger brake's lines as well, so I guess you'll need them, but doesn't hurt to try if your smaller brake's lines fit. You'll have to bleed the brakes, but that's not hard work.

Hahah, yeah, if you've got a turbo 32, you'll most likely already have the 4 pot brakes.

im not sure about non-spec GTS-t's, i think they still ran the 4-pots but smaller? i cant remember, but by the looks of his sig his is a m-spec anyway going by the front bar in the image (m-spec front bar)

Yeah, the GTSt's that weren't type-m didn't have the 4 pot's as factory items from what I know, but most turbo models being brought into Australia are type-m anyway (I'm pretty sure :D ).

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
