Hi SAU NSW,

Recently moved up to Northern Beaches from Melbourne, so needing a bad influence from you guys with upgrade advise and motivation.

Been reading the forums since 2011 when I brought an R32 GTR 1990, so big thank you to all that contributed...the info is so valuable.

Car has rebuilt Stage 1 by RacePace Rb26dett, Link G4, 1000cc ID, new pump, new coils, 9l sump, large dump pipes, random front pipes & 3inch exhaust. Nismo twin Coppermix with std diff/box. Ran 11.96 1/4 and few cask days in VIC.

Car is off road for month or so to refresh the brakes & suspension.

If you see me around the Sydney traps, please say hi.

Anyone know what brand springs are in the photo of rear suspension? Lovell?

Organising a set of Bilsteins through Sydney Kid, but tempted to re-use these rear springs as they were ok with worn out factory shocks.

So my 9month old son could probably push these shock in...takes 40seconds to return out with some bubbling sounds.

Can't wait for Bilsteins. Sent dimensions & details to Sydney Kid to see what spring rate, just out of curiosity.

Taking orders for custom 2.4mtr breaker bars...great for cracking nuts. Lacks finesse for tightening though.

Rear brakes out, shocks out, 36mm off....disc still on. Try the 2x 6mm bolt to edge it off, but open to suggestions

Thanks k_d, I undid handbrake in car and at disc..drivers came off easy. Pass side still needed the two bolts inserted and it popped off. Ordering DBA T3 4000s for rear, as discs are under minimum thickness.

Looked at Project Mu handbrake shoes, but couple hundred is abit rough. Anyone changing handbrake shoes...(3mm on all shoes left) & to which OEM Nissan or aftermarket? Worth while?

Sydney Kid confirmed rear springs are 3.5kg, so running with those spring with Bilsteins, Whiteline sway bar and some new bushes.

QFM do a custom handbrake shoe...anyone know what thickness the shoe pads should be?

DBA rears turned up.

Entry in for SAU 24th Aug track day, so goal is June get rear end complete & front brakes with July re-registered in NSW.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
