I'm very happy with my similar setup on the race car, I've run up to 1hr enduro races on them and targas etc with no issues. These are a bargain at the posted price even if they need a reco

Pads easy to find? Good ones? or need some searching around?

I had less options than when I was running the 33/34 Brembos, for instance I could not get my preferred hawk ht-60, however there were still plenty of good brands to choose from; Winmax, Pagid, SBS are ones I've used in them. Its a pretty common porsche caliper not something wierd

Thanks Duncan. Will definitely have a think!

Have deleted some messages - hopefully works now?

 

No issues with brake bias, car was run on street, circuit, street sprints by myself and previous owner and setup was perfect.

Duncan sorry to bombard you but since you're the expert on this setup, have you run this ok with ABS?

Also with the dog bones/adapters, any chance they would suit R34 GTT or would you need to re-drill or re-tap them or the uprights? From memory R32/33 might be 12mm bolts whereas 34 is 14mm (or vice versa)?

c'mon guys this is a for sale thread not a brakes discussion. I wanted to add some information which might assist the sale but seriously, at $800 this is an awesome deal.

I still run ABS in the race car, I have no balance problems or ABS issues although I have chosen to run different pads front and rear.  The seller would have to confirm details about the bracket but the one on mine is an excellent piece of 5mm steel angle. Obviously I don't know bolt size on this sale but if it is larger than your hub (ie M14 into M12 hub) you could drill out the hub easily, and if the bolt is smaller than the hub size (ie M12 into M14 hub) then you could do nothing (because it will be fine once torqued) or use 12-14mm sleeves if you are concerned.

At least one offer has been made pursuant to the recent discussion so good result I'd say...
Seal kit anyone?!

See page one of this thread for the seal kit :)

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
