i was doing my rotors other week did the front but the rears just didnt come off

now i want to give it another shot instead of taking it in to the mechanics.

i did loosen the handbrake all the way down with a screwdriver through the rotor but the rotor was

still extremely hard to spin anyway tried banging it with a mallet and no luck what so ever

im guessing my handbrake is still too tight despite loosening it, what should i do to loosen it further?

Pry the rotor off, there is possibly an inside lip from handbrake abuse, aka attempting to drift...

Worse that can happen is the springs fall out and you have reassemble the handbrake gear, not hard if you look at it

hmm could be the case especially for both rotors? are you sure i just don't need to loosen ebrake any further from elsewhere plus pretty positive previous owner did abuse this car, though it does seem the ebrake doesn't go any tighter or looser when adjusting it around, takes alot of strength to spin rotor just 1cm

Did you put screws in the two holes (on the mounting surface)?

i just bought the screws now, im going to give it ago tomorrow

yeah car was jacked up from diff also have lsd not sure if that can cause rotor to hardly move with so much force

and im 100% poisitive i loosend right way as i was losening it was getting easier to spin the adjuster but the rotor was still firm

anyway ill see how i go tommorow didnt have the time today

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
