Hey I just purchased a cusco brake cyclinder stopper and yes i know it's simple to fit but I'm wondering what is the point of the nut in between the brake cylinder and the stopper? and how tight do I tighten up the bolt? I don't want to go damaging anything. I've attached the instructions that came with it. Thanks guys!post-52764-0-21384600-1308905805_thumb.jpg

Here is a translation for the installation instructions numbered 1 to 5. I am not not sure what they are talking about in step one so I put a few translation options in - should be a lot easier to tell what they are when you look at the car. I take no responsibility for these translations being correct or any damage you may do blah blah blah. Hopefully another poster can confirm them too. If you need any other parts of the sheet translated let me know.

1) Disassemble the mekura/blind plugs/bolts/corks/bungs/stoppers in front of the master cylinder (there are two on the fender).

2) Slightly tighten the BCS body using the two M6x16 bolts.

3) Put the locknut in the BCS body's welded nut and slightly tighten the adjustment/modification bolt.

4) Affix the adjustment/modification bolt and the pointed end collar (shown as 先端カラー in the picture) to the brake master cylinder and then tighten the adjustment/modification bolt .

5) Properly tighten all slightly tightened bolts.

whats the point of a brake stopper?

It is a bracket that is mounted on the strut tower with a screw that presses against the master cylinder. This stops the master cylinder from flexing the firewall under hard braking. It gives a firmer/more responsive brake pedal feel.

As a point of interest VLs have pretty much the same thing fitted as standard (they have a bracket bolted from the strut tower to the master cylinder). Refer to the pic below. I miss my wagz :(

ohhhhhhhh

sounds like something you would only need when on the track

not really. Go get someone to press on you brake pedal and watch the firewall flex. Does it every time you hit the pedal.

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
