Cheers mate, if you find the one in the garage, or hit pick a part before I do, can you grab the rear passenger side caliper for me? Ill fix you up of course. D

BUGGER! Someone poached the brakes from the r30 and pick pay and go, and there are none to be had at pick a part Kilsyth. If anyone has some, or spots them at your local please let me know! Especially the rear passanger caliper - it's starting to make horrible noises!

Cheers,

Unreal. Wont need the front (mine are Hilux) but the rear would be great. You can leave it with Randy or better yet, swing by the NDSOC show and shine this Sunday at Southbank. Ill be there all day.

Cheers

I first got this horrible grinding metal on metal noise about a year ago. I replaced pads (twice), put new kits in, did the wheel bearings, new anti-rattle springs... and so on, but still couldn't get rid of the damn noise. Finally I took the car to an engineer who simply grabbed hold of the handbrake cable, gave it a yank, and the caliper clunked - there was buckets of play. I tried replacing that caliper and sure enough the noise went away. I don't know if the same side let go as last time, but when you are dealing with a 30-year-old second-hand part these things are going to happen.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
