It was a kit i brought and then made some slight mods too so it would bolt straight up to the old 4 bolt hole pattern.

Had not been on track yet but have some very quiet roads around my warehouse on a friday. Pedal is very much firmer thats for sure, but also gives much more feel. Best part is i now know how much rear brake i was missing with the old stock rear calipers, then G4 rear calipers until i i did this and got rid of the ABS unit. In fact i had never used one set of bendix ultima pads in over 3000 kms of racing. Car now brakes much harder, even enough to get hot slicks to lock up on all 4 corners at the same time. Still working on getting the bias right but will get there next track session as its not a long way off being how i want it.

Still managed to get 6 to 7 KGs off the car and i think got a much better, safer and better performing system. Now we will give the G4 calipers some real abuse and see how they stand up.

PS found out that AP rotors are identical to the G4 units as well, same bells bolts etc etc, got a feeling they might be one and the same

I have one of these pedal boxes that was used in my old GTR.

I removed it and fitted a proper Tilton over hung box. These are good but you will find they suffer alot of fire wall flex due to the massive amount of leverage you have and the pedal effort required.

Can't that be easily remedied with a brace from the tower?

I don't have a pedal box but removed my booster, changed the pedal ratio and of course still had massive firewall flex due to around 120kg + pedal pressure required. 10 minutes welding something up had it sorted.

Problem with them is they dont flex the fire wall outwards they actually try and bend it upwards.

On my one there is a rather effective lever built into the pedal box which hangs down under the box itself. Its hard to explain the way the fire wall flexes with them but the only way I though to fix it would be a brace coming down from the strut brace as a brace infront of the box only solved half to problem.

That said even with the Tilton pedals built into my roll cage there is still flex in the mounting points which is rather annoying.

Out of curiosity what sized masters are you using in the tandem set-up and which pedal ratio box did you buy??

    • 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?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • 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
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
