I thought I would share one of my old projects. In the search for my braking power, I decided to bolt up some 300mm discs to my Telstar. (yeah yeah, get over it :nyaanyaa: )

I tried fiddling with R32/R33 GTS-t stuff, but I didn't want to cut mounting tabs off the calipers or cut into the knuckles. After searching the DBA catalogue, Integra Type S discs seemed like a good choice as they were close to being identical except for the increase in diameter as seen below.

I decided to make up a dogbone bracket to mount the standard caliper bracket, so made a template out of 19mm thick wood to make sure my measurements were right. After I had it all sorted, I then machined it up at work and turned up some stainless steel sleeves. Then the brackets were treated to a light bead blasting.

All done!

They've been on about 3 different cars I've owned over the past 4/5 years and have worked flawlessly.

They now have a pair of RS Liberty twin piston sliders in the standard brackets. with Goodridge braded lines.

They are soon to be replaced with EVO 6 discs and calipers front and rear :thumbsup:

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅

      Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
