I'll speak to Hel this week about sorting out the brake lines and I'll PM every one to see what they want to do (whether they want to get their own or get some through me). If the guys that have signed up for the front kit want to get a rear kit, it would be best just to get Hel to make up a full front and rear kit for all of us.

All that is different is the fitting into the caliper. So simple enough to get some new Hel lines and sell the old ones (that's what I'm doing). I'm sure you could use some sort of adaptor fitting but that's a bit dodgy.

We are ready to go!

My mate is going to grab the kit, if it doesn't clear his wheels without spacers than we will just try and sell it on ebay or something. Pretty sure it would sell fairly easily.

I will start PMing every one tonight with details.

:cheers:

In the next couple of days I will hopefully have an answer to what we are doing about the rear kit :)

I have looked into all the options available and I think what I have come up with will be the best choice. Will let you know as soon as I hear back from Daryl to see what he thinks about my suggestion.

One payment has all ready come through, so as soon as the other two are in my account i'll put the order through.

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 the drum handbrake completely dissapear and replaced with an additional single piston caliper is going to cost a lot of money (way more than the front kit) and also not really be suitable for people doing Motorkhana events. The drum handbrake setup is apparentely a lot better for this. Also even if money wasn't an issue, to get it to work with the Skyline rear is a challenge in it self and may not work with out a bit of modifying. So I don't think this option is viable for a group buy situation.

The next option was to build the handbrake into the main caliper itself as Wilwood have one caliper that does this. With this I have found that first of all the Skyline handbrake setup is not directly suitable and would once again have to be modified to fit correctly. Next the calipers are very small and not made for large rotors and also for such large/heavy cars. Also they don't make a good variety in piston area so to get something that would work in harmony brake balance wise would also be difficult. Overall it once again aint a viable solution.

The final option is to keep the drum handbrake, but once again there is a problem. Wilwood do not make a rotor to suit our drum handbrake.

So this is my solution that I am currently looking into which should work well and be the cheapest option.

We shall use a DBA 4000 series wiper-slot rotor suited for a Skyline hand brake and to this we shall match a Wilwood 4 piston caliper. The largest they seem to list for the Skyline rear is 300mm x 22mm which is what is on the Brembo R33/R34 GTR (GTST/R32 GTR has 297mm x 18mm). However I can email them to see if they do a little larger diameter. I just have to confirm piston area size on the factory rears so I can mate up the correct Wilwood caliper suited and also suited for the rotor size. If all goes well and I can match something up the rear kit should easily be between $1000-$1500.

So I will give an update as soon as I get more information :)

I've been in contact with a company in the UK called DB-Power. They sell a bunch of Wilwood kits. Apparentely they will have a Skyline rear kit available in the next week that they have put together so I am going to wait and see what it is and whether it is something we would want.

Will keep you updated.

Also regarding payments. Just awaiting to hear back from NA Beast and also from my mate that I will see this weekend.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure

      Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By oHBoy. · Posted

      Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15

      Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
