Thanks. CSC 365mm with 6 piston caliper don't fit. I took a rim there and trial fitted. Not enough internal diameter. I know their 355mm kit fits. I know 365mm Alcon fit. I've got the Stoptech templates, but the cutting out of the peice of paper seems a crude way of measuring things.....It's down to CSC or Stoptech for me, so want to know the STs will fit. I've got a lazer measurer so I'll grab a wheel off this weekend and check out the internal diameter and then match that off against the radius info on the ST website. This can't answer the question of lateral clearance, but I'll have to trust the paper tempate for that.

Trouble with ST is there are no people with actual experience with them and GTRs (that I can find).

Still trying to solve the BMC size issue with the STs. Any ideas?

PM BB GTR. He runs the CSC on his R32 GTR with CSC and i would have sworn he was running the 365mm rotor inside his old R34 GTR rims. Perhaps the one they trial fitted to your wheel was off another model car and the rotor hat offset a little different. Though check with BBGTR, but surprised to read that their 365 kit doesnt fit inside the R34 wheel

The cut out method is actually pretty good. Just glue/stick the paper cutout to a bit of cardboard & run it around. There is an old thread somehere with a few brake clearance sheets on its & ID's for rims. Maybe add some of whatever you find to that because ensuring callipers clear rotors can be a pain the arse.

Ant was kind enough to help me out by checking the AP clearance against an 18" Volk rim. The rotor was a 343 by the way.

Yeah, I've spoken to Andrew and his is a 355mm I'm pretty sure. He even sent me an image.

    • 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).
