Hi guys,

Just wondering what is needed to convert the rear brake setup from an S13 to Skyline. The car currently runs a five stud coversion, but the brake setup is still using the single piston caliper with the external handbrake.

I have the twin piston calipers and I'm assuming I will need a handbrake cable, rear knuckles and a set of disks with an internal handbrake. Anything missing and does anyone have a step by step guide to completing this conversion?

you just unbolt all the s13 brake bits off it and bolt up the skyline ones. You don't need to swap the whole knuckle over.

The only thing i'm not sure about is the hand brake cables. I've heard you need the r33/34 hand brake cables as they are longer than the r32 but can't confirm one way or the other

Will need:

- R33 Hand brake cable, it's longer

- R33 brake lines, it's longer

- Drumbrake & backing plate

- Rotors

- 5-Stud Hub

- Caliper

- A strip of metal to extend the bracket that holds the handbrake cable

- brake fluid lol

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.

      Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
