Ok so my brakes turned up yesterday.

i had a look last night and the fronts should fit .

can some one confirm for me if 33 gtst rears will fit , i didnt have time to check last night.

i got the whole lot front disc , rotors and pads. Rear rotors disc and pads all for $700 wich isnt bad.

Yeah the rears will fit but you'll have to cut the lip of the backing plate for the rotors to fit.

Chuckie - those are R32 GT-R calipers.

ok so ive started doing the brake conversion and here is what ive found so far

the bolts wich hold the stagea calipers are different they need to replaced with ( HI TENSILE ) 12mm x 1.25mm x 45mm any longer and they will hit the disc.

You can use the standard brake lines but you have to remove the collet that sits inside the threaded shank of the 33 caliper. I removed this with a self tapping screw turned in a couple of times and then pulled out.

otherwise the rest of the front just bolts straight up.

The rears are a bit different.

First you need to trim the lip off of the dust shield as it hits the disc.

I did this with a pair of tin snips to cut sections out of the lip and then folded them up and cut them off with a grinder.

You could leave the dust shield folded up but i removed the lip as it looks a bit to doddgy for my liking.

once again you can use the standard brake lines on the back you just have to do the same as the front and remove the collet.

Be mindful if you do this conversion of your rims im running 17"s not shaw the offset but i have about 10mm between the caliper and the inside face of my rim.

I will post up how much of a difference they make when i get the brakes bled.

ok so ive finished the brake conversion and it does all fit.

i decided that i would remove the dust shield off of the rear as it didnt look to good this can be done with a chisel as they are only spot welded in place.

the brakes are amazing compared to standard.

The only problem is pedal feel , either there is still air in the lines or the master cylinder is just too small to cope with the extra caliper pistons.

I will re-bleed the brakes this week and see if it makes a difference , if not i will have to look at changing over the master cylinder to maybe a r33 or gtr one it will all depend on what fits.

If anybody has done this i love to hear how it went and what master cylinder you used.

I've done this setup and had no problems with pedal feel, and am still using standard master cylinder and booster.

Possible there is still air in the system, I had the same problem when I first fitted mine but I found that I had the calipers on the wrong side on the rears.

Make sure the calipers have the bleed nipples at the top of the caliper rather than the bottom as air will not bleed out.

I have read elsewhere that you can have problems getting the air out of an ABS unit if fluid has drained out of it. Some are bled with nipples on the unit others need a scan tool to set it up. Anyone know if / how you can bleed the ABS unit?

I removed my ABS unit and all the lines in the engine to paint it. Reinstalled them and bleed all 4 corners of the car as per normal.

Had no problems

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By MBS206 · Posted

      If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      spot the stagea

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
