GROUP BUY ENDS 31 MARCH 2009

UAS brake booster stoppers reduces firewall flex when braking for more responsive braking.

The pedal has a more positive feel (a less spongy feeling).

A must for track days and worth considering for enthusiastic streeters.

DIY installation.

What you get:

5mm laser cut alloy

TIG welded

Anodised black

Stainless allen key adjusting bolt

Stainless mounting bolts to secure direct to recessed nuts on inside of strut tower.

Full kit much is lighter than Cusco and as strong, looks better and won’t rust.

Price: $70 each plus delivery.

Delivery: $12.50 freight and handling.

The RRP from UAS is $95

(This price compares very favourably to the Cusco brake cylinder stopper $175 delivered Nengun).

Installation takes about 10minutes tooles required:

10mm spanner or socket + 5.5mm hex key (or strong fingers and pliers)

Step 1. Remove the plastic covers on the drivers side to reveal the recessed nuts in inner skirt.

Step 2. Align alloy brake stopper and install mounting bolts.

step 3. Tighten allen key adjusting bolt against the brake cylinder.

Step 4. Check and re-tighten bolts after 1-2 weeks.

I have wanted one of these for a long time for my GTR. If John has finally got some more made then you had better put me down for one.

what are the chances there is damage to the cylinder wall if you stomp your brakes real hard and the cylinder instead of flexing pushes against the stopper??? Wouldn't it be a good idea to have some sort of thick rubber cap there instead of metal-on-metal ??

i have never heard of damage due to this issue.

the reason for using a metal brace is to reduce the effect of firewall flex so the brakes function as intended.

do you want me to add you to the GB list?

I understand the purpose of it and I'm "probably" in for the next GB due to finances right now .. but I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that the Cusco one has a rubber cap so that the brake cylinder isn't hitting metal on metal as that can damage the cylinder and that all these other copies are just completely made out of metal.

edit: I suppose it would be rather ease to just glue on a piece of rubber on the part that touches the brake cylinder so I guess it's a non-issue. Will you run this GB again later this month? Cheers

yeah i'm sure this GB can go again if there is interest (and UAS are keen to let me do it again).

i intend on fulfilling the first 5 orders asap. so hopefully pick-ups as soon as tomorrow and delivery once the money has cleared.

regardless, the GB will still be open for the whole month and i will organise the delivery/pickup for anyone else until 31 march 2009 (or UAS run out, whatever comes first. i am assured there are plenty in stock).

Pick up should be available from this afternoon delivery for the others when the money clears.

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
