So i notice my pads were a bit worn the other day so i thought it was a good excuse to upgrade.

I have so far ordered and recieved Front and Rear slotted discs and EBC greenstuff sports pads for all four corners.

I am now on the hunt to find braided lines, though im not sure where to get them from? I live in Western Australia is locally around this area is prefered or a trusted online dealer would also be good.

I was also wondering is it worth putting braided lines on the rear. From my understanding the rears do very little work when it comes to braking..? The only reason why i went slotted for the rear was i would have to machine the rotor anyway when putting new pads in, so i decided to just replace it.

Also the next question, since im taking the rotors off i thought might as well change my wheel bearings too. I know these can be sourced lcally from most car shops. I was wondering if a specifc brand would be best? As in oem nissan? Or just get one thats either made in japan or australia? Like NGK timex etc. If anyone got part numbers for a r33 gts t that would be of great help as well.

Thanks in advance for the advice guys

Brendan

Hey Brendan,

Most brake places can make them up for you. Are you NOE or SOR?

I was also wondering is it worth putting braided lines on the rear.

Check if the rear factory hose is due for a replacment. If it is do it. I personally would do it.

thought might as well change my wheel bearings too. I know these can be sourced lcally from most car shops. I was wondering if a specifc brand would be best? As in oem nissan?

OEM or nissan is fine. Just go to convetrys or amcap for them. They will be able to supply the OEM ones for you.

Thanks for the reply,

I am SOR, do you know any good shops i can get them from and approx cost? I'll probably change over all four corners to braided lines. Save the hassle on having to replace lines later when/if they leak.

Ah, Im near convetrys so ill call them up in regards to my wheel bearings.

Thanks for your help mate!

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
