something has to pull up he big heavy 31's!! nothing wrong with having big f**k off brakes on a street car, not like its making the car less safe! if you have a street car that gets from 0-100 in 4-5 seconds you want to make it perform the best it can under braking

4-5 seconds? That's getting some pretty serious power down, not eveyone is putting down 400+ in their daily street cars

my old 'line was putting down 440rwhp, and it still pulled up fine with decent pads, even punting hard through the Adelaide hills for extend periods, yet it was tame enough that it could be driven by my wife in peak hour traffic no problems (except complaints about the clutch :banana: )

all I am saying is, over engineering a daily can take the enjoyment out of a car, it happens so often, and 2k or

more could be better spent (IMO)

LOL my car is only 270hp and does 0-100 in the 4s ( performance box time at drags ) . Like i said people think there brakes are good untill they have driven somethiong better :(

    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
    • Hi, i’m converted my r34 4dr auto to manual but need help with gearbox wiring. There are bunch of wires no idea which one for speedo drive, neutral, reverse can anyone help me. IMG_6860.mov
