Ah ok. So that's where the mix up was.

Hmmm that sucks. I've allready emailed Daryl so I'll see what he says.

Any chance you guys can send each other the rotors? Postage shouldn't be that much would it?

excellent, had me freaking out, vitaminE when can you send it off? i might be able to send yours tommorow arvo depending if i can finish the job im working on early, but should be fine ( might get the fiance to take it to the post office for me)

send me a PM with your address please dude.

Awesome guys, glad you could sort it out. Had me stressing for a bit!

Daryl replied back and apologies' very much for the slight mix up, he doesn't know how it happened. He is willing to pay the small freight cost via Paypal or something, or if the rear brake group buy goes ahead to take some money off of them for you.

VitaminE is a pain. He hasnt written back yet.

Just noticed he only has 7 posts. Can he use pm?

Can someone pm me his phone number please or msg him my number.

Thanks

Excellent. Sorry I havn't been replying much. I don't have the internet at home at the moment (long story).

Also I updated the DIY thread with my first test drive from the other night :)

Have fitted up my brakes now. And about to do a bleed.

GTR's would be better with a different type of brake line. The stock setup has a hard pipe that runs behind the top of the rotor to the back side of the rotor then a line from there to chassis. I have fitted the supplied hel lines with a few cable ties. After cable tieing the line to the abs wire the line sits within an inch of the front driveshaft.

Will keep an eye on it.

Had a small issue bleeding them. Crack the nipple and the fluid comes out the tread not the nipple. Same on all of them.

Did a quick test in my driveway. Needs another quick bleed all round.

Did ur bleed nipples do the same thing?

Sounds like you undid them too much! Only need to crack em loose :)

thats werid jez, sure the hole on the nipple is not blocked at all, i cant see why the fuild would goto all the effort of going around each thread of the nipple over just coming straight the hole.....somthings up with that man

Have a read of my DIY again man. I updated it with the bleeding procedure and adressed the issue you are mentioning (I did it aswell the first time).

You are cracking the wrong part of the nipple. The actual nipple itself is the black part and has it's own nut. You are cracking the gold part which is what the nipple sits in.

You will know what I mean as soon as you look at it again :)

Keep in mind people, bleed nipples on brakes are tapered flare or ball seat - (ball seat in old euro stuff only usually). Thread tape should NEVER be put on to seal them. If you are referring to the fitting that houses the nipple, that should also never have thread tape on it....use locktite thread sealant or thread lock if you have to. Much better seal that way

Ok elite thanks for the heads up.

Havent done it yet was just thinking of doin it.

Thanks Phil. Ill try it when i do a bleed. It looked too small to me.

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • 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
