Been a bit slow in this thread lately... so thought I'd stick up some pic's of the hydro handbrake I have been making after work this week. It's pretty much ready to bolt in and plumb up now.

Bits fresh out the mill ready for welding:

thats nice, scuse my ignorance, but do you then run the cable from the hand break forward instead and it pulls on the pivot rod?

this is the exact reason why I'm trying to convince my boss that HE needs a 3 axis mill........ So I can come in on weekends and play.

Hydraulic hand brakes dont use cables, the use the hydraulic brake lines, route then through a speceific master cylinder and the rear brakes are worked normally when the lever isnt used and when the lever is used it only works the rear brakes.

Im assuming from how it is mounted above and looking at the pic below that the upright in the pic below will have an extension slipped over it and/or bolted to it and the stick will come up through the hole where the stereo and pocket use to be, im also guessing that it will be bent in some way so the knob will be further back towards the driver.

All of this is just my assumption, would love to see finished pics.

yeah brett's right, the old handbrake will be ripped out, a handle custom handle slips on so the new mechansim and is screwed in to place (you can just see one of the holes in the last photo).

Photo 3 & 4 shows it without and with the handle.

The handle is just a bit of tube, so once the base is mounted I'll cut it to length and bend it if requried to get it in to a comfortable position.

    • 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.
