Hey folks,

I'm mocking up a front brake upgrade for a corolla at the moment. I've got some R33 hubs so I can do a cad drawing I'm just needing some old brakes to see if it will work / how well it is going to mount up. Undersize thickness rotors are fine as long as they're the 296 diameter type not the 280. Anybody got their old brakes sitting around they want to get rid of? I'm in Melbourne northern suburbs and willing to pick them up.

Any help appreciated, cheers.

Paul.

Thanks for the offer dori34 but I'm chasing the 296mm diameter rotors not the 324mm. It's only going to be stopping a 900kg Corolla after all.

PJ-33 you have PM.

Judging by the DBA site what I can gather is the non turbo 34 has the 296 diameter rotor but the turbo version has 310mm. Are yours from a turbo or non turbo? can you measure? Also if you've got a vernier to measure the thickness that will help determine what I'm willing to pay. Minimum thickness is 28mm so if they're anything around that size I will not offer a lot but if it's closer to the original 30mm thickness I will pay accordingly...

I have a full set of R33 GTS-T rotors for sale if you're interested. They are perfectly good to use though, so I'd be chasing a price appropriate. Let me know if you're interested.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
