hi.

Ive just installed R32 GTR Sutimoto front brake calipers onto my Stagea

replaces 2-pot single sided stock calipers.

Ive connected the line up to the R32 GTR calipers, all good there. No leaks (now).

There is a loud metalic rub noise 0-10kmph. The pads are brand new A1RM trackpads, against slotted rotors

I had to bend the ends of the dust guard to fit the longer calipers in - should I simply cut it out? Goes 3/4 around the rotor

I cant think what else would be making contact against the rotor

Car is out atm, wife needed to babysit & my mate had already borrowed her car. So Im a little worried that its been driven (5kms)

without me knowing whats making contact (somewhere) on the rotors.

either pads are damned noisey at low kms, or dust guards somehow touch somewhere

thoughts?

cheers

seems to be the dust guard touching at 1 little point

just snapped a wheel stud, so the rubbing is least of my concern atm

out for a while to get it replaced, then might give it a go again, might not too - knees a megaf**ked

thanks lovely!!

yeh its all good, calipers are fine, no more rubbing going on.

seems as if it was the dust guard touching the inside of the rotor.

got a replacement stud from unley nissan, will install it tomorrow

cant do much now, not even walking !!!!

:P

all's ok tho.

GTR R32 Sutimoto brake calipers and QFM A1RM track pads are fricken awesome!

brings the 1800kg wagon (incl driver) to a dead stop in a split second.

well, the noise at the beginning was real-bad

Im sure it was a slight touch of dust guard against rotor

but, my rotors were pretty rough, so perhaps it was initial pad wear?

the rotors seem smoother now, there is no noise, and I dont really think I did anything this morning, bar poking and prodding, to fix any noise issues up

made sure lines wernt a problem anywhere, moved the hubs around and couldnt replicate the noise

got to replace a broken wheel stud in the morning, I'll have another look at whats going on, but just perhaps the noise was pads against warped rotor?

anyways, stops on a dime ontop of a knifes edge. all is well with the world of stagea brakes, bar the poor little track car's lack of front calipers :P

yeh was the dust-guard rubbing at a point.

fixed the stud easily enough, all is great!!!

body is damned sore, however the braking performance is simply amazing.

an awesome upgrade, GTR calipers and track pads

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
