REAR KIT UPDATE Just thought I would update on what we are doing with the rear as the handbrake is causing this to be a pain in the ass. Basically here's what I have found: The option with having th

The booster doesn't get changed.

The master cylinder can be changed to get a better pedal feel but it's not required. Basically the amount of fluid displaced at the master cylinder is equal to the fluid displaced at the calipers, so by making the calipers fluid capacity larger (larger pistons etc) you will require more pedal travel to displace the pistons the same amount.

You don't have to go out and buy the BM57 master cylinder, you could also try re-boring your existing one. Try a brake mob like Slacks creek brake and clutch if you are in Brisbane

The calipers appear to be 151.2mm wide. I just measured the stock calipers on my car and appears to be about the same.

Here's the measurements I used (the first picture):

Hey Phil,

Again I see that you seem to be buying the same gear that I run on my car.

I've been running the Superlight 6 piston Wilwoods on the front of my car for over a year now, and yes they fit under my 17" rims. I purchased my kit through Arizona Z Car in the US, and I believe you'll get a better deal if you go through them. Contact Dave and see what price he can do for you without the brake lines, the link for his site is: http://www.arizonazcar.com/

I did upgrade my master cylinder to a 1" item from the R32 N1 GTR (non ABS) but as you've worked out, the upgrade isn't necessarily required.

Hope that helps, Ryno

You'll also see that Dave's kit runs even thicker rotors (at 35mm) and the alloy hats are a different design.

Awesome quality though, so I've been very happy with the purchase.

All up they came in at about the same weight as the stock R33 calipers and discs, which is a pretty impressive feat given the size increase.

Ahh nice :)

Yeah I looked into the Arizona Z kits; they use slightly different 6 piston calipers and as you have said their own rotors and hats. I might speak to them regarding the rear kit when time comes as they make their own single piston caliper kit for the hand brake setup.

I use my car for street driving, but the Arizona Z Car package has been designed for the track, just have a read of some of the testimonials on the site.

When I bedded in the pads, after the 10th hard stop in a row from 110 kph, it was still wanting to lock the front tires, with no noticeable fade.

Yeah that's the one.

So in doing this phil does that mean we would be able to ditch our stock drum handbrake setup?

But also wilwood make 2 rear superlite caliper kits, 1 with an internal handbrake setup which would allow u's to do the same thing and delete the drum setup, or the other option which doesn't have a handbrake setup?? I thought it would just be easier to keep it as 1 system? Correct me if I'm wrong.

If we can get a 4 piston caliper for the rear with a built in hand brake into the caliper than that is definetely the way to go. Yes it will completely get rid of the internal brake shoes for the handbrake.

I came across this a while ago, however it mentions it is for light vehicles.

I will have to discuss it with the supplier and see if they make something that will suit our application.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
