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.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
