hi guys , im just curious about what lengths you made your brake lines when you converted to 5 stud? , and what did you do with the h/brake cables? and is there anything else i may get stuck with? (r33 brakes onto cefiro, will (hopefully soon) have s14 hubs for the front) . cheers

hey Toff, the rear should already be a drum set up, so you should have to only use the hub set up off a 32, the disc and caliper, the drum size between the two (r32 and ceff) is exactly the same. thats all i did with mine, and will do with the laurel

hey nick :P , i've got all r33 stuff (from that r33 i bought off justin) , r33 rears are the same as r32 im pretty sure (might be slightly bigger?) , its mainly the front im worried about , i was told the way they bolt up are different (and the lines are slightly too short) and i'd need custom brake lines made up . i'm trying to get all the parts together before i start because its much nicer when you can just unbolt>bolt up . next is the rb25 :P , you got the lorrie up and running yet?

Yeh the front brake lines may need lengthening, i've got s14 lines on the ceff an 32 ones on the laurel and on full lock they are really just a bit tight, you could look at the braided ones cablemate make, about a hundred per line i think but if you asked for like s13 line an inch or so bigger it would work, thats with out really looking at a 33 set up.

nah the laurel is no where near, i've sprayed the engine bay and painted the interior, now just got all the column and pedals back in so will do the wiring and dash tomorrow, and hopefully start pulling the motor down for new rings and bearings

For the rear, use your cefiro handbrake cables.

For the front get S14 lines but longer. S14 lines have the same end connection as R32 and R33 calipers. S13 lines have the banjo bolt thing which you aren't supposed to use with the 4 pot calipers.

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
