Might not be relevant, but I had a similar problem fitting a new master cylinder (260Z) into my 240Z. Turned out there was a rubber block missing between the booster diaphragm and the pushrod in the master cylinder.

What is a BM44 master off? How different is the master you are using compared to the master being replaced (bore, stroke)?

All the calipers are similar to a R32 (4-pot front, 2-pot rear)?

Yeh the BM44 is also on the 33gtst. I had this issue a while back when i was changing brake pads. For sum reason and i dont know how i managed to do it. one of the brake lines had a sharp bend to it which was causing the brake fluid not to flow through it properly.

Not sure if it helps but i guess might be worth checking

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
