Had to go back 5 pages before I found a post that had anything to do with the thread title! Except for C34S2STAG, those GTR wheels look sweet btw. Thought I'd throw up some pics of the new anchors I finally got around to fitting.

Cheers guys, yeah I'm sure it will work well. I haven't changed the master cylinder yet as I'll see how it goes once I get out to bed them in.

C34S2STAG the rears fit on really easily, had to trim the backing plate about 5mm each end of the caliper and had to find some different bolts as the brembos use a coarse thread whereas the standard Stagea bolts were fine pitch. These were off a R33 GTR so if you get the mounting bolts as well you'd be set. Another difference is the Stagea rear uses a banjo join to the caliper and the GTR uses a flared connection. You can pull the little seat out of the brembos which would then enable you to use the standard Stagea brake hose but it needed a bit of a stretch to get it to connect as it's a different orientation, I wasn't real happy with this so I got some braided lines made up with a flared end to suit the caliper. Pirtek did these for me, ADR approved too apparently.

The fronts were fitted to a R34 GTR (non standard obviously) and originally came with Alcon rotors as well which were some weird size - 343mm or something.... I had trouble sourcing replacement rotors as the bolt spacing for the 2 piece rotors seemed to be different to other manufacturers as well. A big thanks to darrinspencer who put me on to the guys at Tweed Brake Service in Capalaba Brisbane, I just took a front hub, a wheel and the calpiers to them and they made up adaptor brackets and hats (which incorporated my wheel spacer so I don't need that anymore) to enable me to use a DBA 355mm two piece rotor. They made up some one piece braided lines for me as well. If anyone is the Brissy area needs work done or just want to check out some really cool stuff their workshop is awesome - full of race cars when I was there and they're building their own as well.

Fatz has some good gear for sale, would have saved me some stuffing around for sure!

Looks good, 3Katz!

Where is darrinspencer hiding these days, anyway?

Cheers mate. I'm not sure hey, it was a while ago he helped me out with that but I think he's still about. I seem to recall he was parting out or selling a Stagea on here not too long ago.

Mine is an rs4s and I didnt need to use spacers. I am running coilovers though. They still don't sit out mega too which is good because I use this to tow so works perfect!

I am still around.......busy working on new business

After 20+ years of performance jap cars I have had to move onto 4x4's

Thats where the $$$ are these days.

I just sold last week a spare S2 C34 I had sitting around for a ute build after selling my green R34 Stagea to Ray. Was going to be a demo car.

So I only have left parts left over that were for the ute build like another R34 gtr front end and manual conversion

Ahh okay! Good luck with your new ventures!

I got my car back yesterday. GTX3076 .63 turbo with Tial 38mm external wastegate, R32 GTR front brakes with DBA slotted rotors, GSL HPX pads all around, 740cc Nismo injectors, Z32 AFM, Splitfires, etc. Not bad so far, need to make time to go for a decent drive and get used to it again.

Awesome stuff Nick, looking forward to hearing how it goes!

Fecking ell!

I thought it was in for brakes and something simple! Sounds good Nick, banish that ancient stock turbo to the garage shelf! Should go alright eh?

Yep, they had it tuned for roughly 255rwkW but it wasn't too happy there, so brought it back down to a safe ~230rwkW. There is more potential there, but there seems to be a restriction somewhere that they're yet to locate. It might be the return-flow intercooler, or it might be somewhere on the exhaust side. Checking intercooler flow is easy by just looking at how much pressure drop there is (as you guys would know), but exhaust is a bit more difficult to assess.

I'm going to drive it around for a while and see how it is (and make sure there aren't any bugs that need to be sorted), then see if I'm happy with it as it is. Potentially there's another 40+ kW in it, apparently.

BTW, my HPX pads and DBA rotor combo squeals quite badly. I'm guessing this will settle down eventually?

Also, where can I get a centre badge for the steering wheel, any ideas? It's still got the S15 "S" in the middle.

Hmm, well I don't think squeal settles, only gets worse in my experience.

Obviously the guys re installed all the shims and things, maybe go through the bedding procedure again, and see what happens. Mechanics tend to be a little fast in the bedding and don't do it properly. If still bad, rip the pads out, clean, reassemble with gunk, and maybe file the pads.

My HPX are perfect on the stagea.

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic

      If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
