WTF? I'll email him to see how he sent them out. Maybe he used seperate boxes for everything due to weight.

Any one else get their brake kit parts?

Nice! Did you just get the calipers?

So we have one rotor and two calipers between two people, AWESOME! One more person and we will have a full kit :P

Brake lines?! WTF. I told him we didn't need brake lines because we got the Hel ones.

EDIT: Just found two postage pick up slips in the mail box! So maybe my brakes arrived today aswell. I wonder what parts I got lol.

Hahaha ok.

Was hoping you got more today.

Actually the more I think about it, perhaps mine isn't the Wilwood brakes but the V Spec II pedals because it doesn't make sense that I would get mine at the same time as you guys when yours got sent prior to my kit even being ready (remember one kit was on back order)....

Hmmm the plot thickens...

Ohk so apparently I did receive mine today but the old girl forgot to bring them home from work so I'll let you's know tomorrow which parts I received :)

Well it wasn't the pedals like I thought (honestly was hoping it was them just to have that nightmare over) but it was the Wilwoods. Not sure what the go was there considering my kit was ment to be on back order yet I got it at the same time as you guys?

Now it wasn't the whole kit however I think they are sending them in seperate packages like this for two reasons, due to the weight of the kits and also to seperate the order due to customs. I thought they would just dodgy up the invoices a lot more but instead this is probably the better way for every one.

One box contained just the brake rotor and the hat. The hat is extremely light, lighter than I actually thought it would be. I will weigh all the components of the Wilwood kit and factory setup to compare weights when I go to install them. The rotor itself is very chunky!

Next box was the two calipers, brake pads, lines and bolts. No idea why they sent the lines, most likely a mistake.

The calipers are very light and look gorgeous. I also test fitted the Hel lines into them and they fit! Brake pads are huge, a lot thicker than the EBC Red Stuff pads I have on the factory calipers at the moment.

So there you go :)

Hopefully the other rotor and caliper adaptors arrive soon.

Let me know when you guys get your other parts.

    • 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!
