At the moment I have Bendix ultimates on the back, as I didn't want too good a pad creating rear brakes bias that would send me off the road arse first if I had to brake in a emergency

Not sure what the other guys think, but I have always ran a really good pad up front ( Racebrake RB74) and a lesser pad on the back (Bendix Ultimates)

Brakes are on the way, should be on by the end of the month

OK got the 33 brakes installed on the weekend but the pedal feels a bit dodgy. Braided lines were installed at the same time and brakes were bled and pressure bled several times. Pedal has always been a little soft up the top but now it's soft for half the travel but is really hard down the bottom, can't really pump it up either so I don't think there's any air still in there.

Earlier in this thread it was stated that R32 master cyl. is bigger than the R33 master cyl. which I thought would give me a really hard pedal. Have I got this confused? is the list earlier in the thread wrong? do I need to get a 33 master cyl.? or is the 32 master cyl. fine and mine might just be on its' last legs?

Help!

Bump!

I'm running 33 GTSt brakes on my R32 with the stock master cylinder. I also have stock pads in back, and Project Mu pads up front, and my fronts lock up pretty easy compared to the back. I don't know if this is because of the 33 front rotors/calipers or the pads (or the 235 front/255 rear tires). I'm going to be putting on some Endless rear pads possible this weekend, so I'll let you know what I discover.

    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same. 
    • I have an elite 2500 running an adapter harness on an rb25de neo r34. I took the butterfly out and removed all that junk. But I also went Plus+t at the same time. The butterfly thing works in reverse to the boost solenoid on the Gtt if that makes sense
    • yeh they are 235/45/17 up front and 255/40/17 in the rears. I still didn't get my answer if i can fit a 18x9 up front. I want to get 4 of this and see if they will fit before committing as they didn't see an 18x8 as an option but there is a 18x9.5 also.   Enkei RS05-RR 18x9 35mm ET 5x114.3 75.0 Bore Matte Gunmetal Wheel
