bought the alpha omega bracket kit for r34 rear as had it in front and it is good

 

for those who don't know, it is 350z rear disc with brembo is evo 6 caliper and bracket of course

 

now after mounting it which comes with a drive shaft spacer, it seems too tight between the lower of the caliper and disc

 

is that expected if anyone has installed it?

 

disc rotates but think it will rob

Waiting on alpha omega response

 

spacers goes in one way only so i could not havr mis aligned anything as all holes must be aligned for it to go in

calliper is good so only thing is the bracket is screwed?
 

could camber or toe impact position of disc i. Relation to caliper? I wouldn’t thing so as knockle is not flexible so toe pr camber won’t pull bottom side down or vice versa

  • 2 weeks later...
  • 3 weeks later...
So all sorted 
 
Issue was the disc was not bolted down with wheel nuts and brake dust metal was catching it not letting it sit fully
 
All sorted and panic over
 
I noticed the right drive shaft nut sits slightly further out then left so pin won’t go in as two layer/ double sided
 
We had to open it and lock it as attached 
 
Does this look ok?

And now huge screaming noise from both rear after say 30 miles

 

pads are both brembo and disc is new

 

cleaned it with brake cleaner but it is so loud on braking that people from few hubdard yards away turn around

 

i didn't grease back of the pads and just stuck them in. Any thoughts?

 

when bought caliper it had two metal peices going on back of the pads which I lost. They are the anti vibration plates and think that is causing a massive noise

 

as I understand the squeeking comes from brake dust and contact surface but clearly i am wrong

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
