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 ).

    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
