Standard Front

Standard rotor vs new 324mm rotors

Fronts installed

The fronts where pretty easy and straight forwards but you must use the brake lines off the 350gt as it will be a straight fit

using the brackets

The rears needed abit of modification on the dust cover and the brake lines needed some custom mountings

dust covers designed for the standard rotors

Had to get a nibbler and modify it

Rear brembos installed

*the standard caliper blots coudlnt be used cuz it had a finer thread u can either use OEM Z33 or aftermarket caliper bolts

So stolked to see that Danny! Its exactly what I have been planning.

Can you give me the part numbers for the rotors you used. Also did you need to to make a mounting adaptor for the rear calipers, or just make room with the dust tins?

Ben.

i can provide you all the part numbers

but only mod to the rear was the dust pan and different bolts

no mods were requiered to fit the rear

price wise would set u back 2.5K-3K

obviously i didnt pay that much for it lol

going to finish off blddeding the brakes today

so ill let u guys know how it feels

is there a chance youll have to upgrade your master cylinder?? else youll be pushing VERY far on the pedal before it grabs. might need to get the master from a brembo equipped V35 (if they are different)

too much movement..

it's not hard enuff for brembos

A larger piston master cylinder will help but if your pedal isnt too low, see how it goes.

Have you bed the brakes in properly? Go for a thrash through the mountains and they will feel better after, promise. If not, you might just need to re-bleed.

I was hoping for a better review of the EBC reds... :thumbsup:

    • 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       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
