Real pretty brakes for a car that has done less kms then mine the last 3 years.

Awesome setup, the water cooling cant be a bad thing for a full weight R34 GTR that needs to stop and stop. Interesting to see if they fit inside your rims

LOL i am pumped that your car is looking good for being back on the road

Look awesome

More pics of the calipers please?!

Disc specs?

Love the colour scheme of AP's, but after a while IMO they can look scabby. Here's my rears, painted to match engine bay

Rears;

Hey Steve, are they enduro calipers that accomodate a 35mm thick rotor??? Where did you score them from?

Pure porn...............

Hey mate, long time no speak, hope you're well

Yeah they'll take a big rotor, ive got some v8supercar sized ones downstairs waiting (about 10 sets), id have to go measure, but im pretty sure they take 38mm, same as fronts. May be only 35mm, eitherway, its better than most sets of fronts out there and its for the rears :D

Got them from that v8supercar team that got bought and liquidated ages ago in Queensland, a VERY helpful SAU'er was able to be my eyes and ears on site as soon as the doors opened. Once they were paid for i drove up and got them about a week later, by the time he was finished there was only crappy stuff left, lucky he got in early.

You should see the fronts, AP say they're good for up to 400mm x 38mm. Ill post pics when i get them back from the painters. Got ex v8supercab discs for them, just cant find rims in 18'' to fit over them without going TE37's (exchange rate is the concern)

Shame they're not watercooled though :)

Hows yours going?

That's awesome Steve, your cas is going to be an animal when it's finished considering all the goodies you have gathered. Pics of fronts when you get them back OR BAN!!

Have you got the hats and adaptors made up yet?

TE37's or LMGT4's would be the go for these big f@*#ers...

Not much happening with my car, has had the front resprayed and a new motor put in it that has done 200 street k's.

Sitting under a cover at the moment, looking at building a dedicated track car, similar to what I have now but 250kgs lighter and not as shiny.

Oh, and Troy (ylwgtr2), nice brakes!!

Oh, water cooled. Very nice.

First time for me there. Looks like an oil cooler haha.

I've got quite a few sets of brakes :)

Set of 8 piston brembos with Carbon fibre discs and pads :D

Not good for street use though, only for high temperature.

Light as a feather.

I'll post some pics when i have time.

btw, custom brackets are a very costly road.

Pics are coming asap :P

Nah dont have adaptors or hats yet, why, know someone who can do it for a good price?

TE's are the fav choice, just waiting for a decent priced local set, or ill go new in a few months

New motor? RB30 is it? :)

Your car is WAY too nice for circuit duties mate, i know a lot of people say things like that, but i mean it :P

Pics of those would be great!

Yeah, "custom" means $$$$ - agreed!

Nah, don't know anybody that makes hats and adaptors, maybe ask Roy...

Nah not RB30, same as before but a little more powerful and a little more responsive.

I know what you mean, hence why I haven't been to the track since the tidy up, looking at building a track only car...

*Awaits pics*

:D

I have a cnc mill here at work to make brackets so just the cost of the stock for me there :)

Well, best i could do :) Needs a clean haha.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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
