Hey guys,

Im looking at doing some track days soon, mainly circuit stuff. The car is a R34 N/A GT-four

I want the car to handle the best it can for track and street.

So far i have

-Cusco Coilvers 10 rear, 8 front

-Nismo front and rear sway bars

-Cusco Toe arms, caster arms, rear upper arms, strut brace, tension rod (all adjustable)

-Ikeya Formula Traction arms.

-18x10 wheels.

(all suspension arms will be going in this weekend)

What else would you guys recommend?

******************************

What brakes would you guys recommend also? looking to spend around 3k for fronts

The car will be getting a RB26 later this year with some power so i need to be able to stop good.

Thanks Luke

Hi mate l think you should add a hicas lock bar and pineapples.

Me l would get the GTR brake pakage with slotted rotors braided

brake lines should fit your budget just fine if you shop around.

But a mate of mine has a set of big 356mm 8 spot brakes from

just jap which if you go this path they work pretty dam good.

Good luck with it

GTR callipers front and rear with good pads..

Slotted and drilled disks..

Braided brake lines only if their cheap through a GB of sorts or else its not worth it.

or.. for 2K the Just Jap package mentioned above.. you will also want to up grade the rears too.. (GTR's and disks should do)

That way you have a good brake pakage and least $1500 to spend wither on your 26 or loose weight off the car.

btw. If putting in a HICAS lock bar.. its worth going through with the effort and removing the HICAS system all together.. its about 40kg weight saving too..

My car comes standard with no hicas as i found out :thumbsup: got attessa instead.

Ive been offered some R33 GTR brembo's front and rear full set for under $2500. Is it possible to get them slotted?

Thanks Luke

HICAS is the 4 wheel steering system, doesn't your car have a little computer in the back boot behind those covers...?

And then a little bar near the back wheels.

Nope, no bar. Just a Attessa unit at the back right hand side of the car and a container in the boot to fill with attessa fluid.

I can get pics if u like :)

If you go GTR brembo, dont use DBA4000 rotors as they crack under track punishment. DBA5000s seem to be ok. If it were me i'd use G4 kits tho.

You havent mentioned tyres.... if you're really serious you'll get two sets of rims - one with R spec tyres for the track, the other with street tyres for, uh, the street...

If you dont want to run two sets of rims, go for something track friendly like Falken RT-615s or Federal 595RS (not 595 aka 595SS).

The R33 GTR brembo's come with the rotars also. so gonna be using them.

Thinking maybe later down the track i will get another set of rims and use those with some semi slicks.

Cheers for the info.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
