Can you use an R33 brake stopper? Or does it need to be specific for a WC34?

Yes but will needed to have mods done ,

I did one for BUBBA ,& have same type on mine but modded different to his,

$300+ added to $300+ doesnt equal $10000 chuckie lol

Why don`t you worry about the details, $300+$300 + pads + lines + brakestopper is $1000 ok if you can get pads lines & stopper for unders $400 you done well .

but i guess you don`t read to well ,Just stick to your own type of car THANK YOU

I thought he was more going that you put too many 0's. Figured you meant 1,000 but you put 10,000 :P

Thanks for info on stopper. Anyone able to confirm this?

Sorry if this has been answered, but haven't had time to read the thread properly. Just chasing part numebrs for front and rear brakes on a s1 rs4.

From the first post, am I right that pads are:

1250BP (F)

1144BP ®

And front rotors are same as S14 (DBA4909)?

Anyone have a part number for the rear rotors?

REALLY ,

IF YOU HAVE NOTHING GOOD TO ADD IN THREAD DON`T POST CRAP ,PEOPLE TRY TO GET INFO NOT DRIBBLE :cheers:

Yes, Really!!! Pretty sure I did add something good - I added some clarity, because you dont seem to be able to post a coherient response yourself.

I wouldnt want someone thinking they needed to spend $10k on brakes, irrespective of if they own a C34 or an M35 :)

should i put 'lolz' at the end of the line instead of 'lol'?

i was joking chuckie!!!!!

anyway, i should add that brake stoppers were one of the best brake mods i did to my cars. cant find one for M35 tho which sucks

I bought mine from a group buy but I can't remember who organised it.

According to the Cusco website they list the R33 same part number as WGNC34 but different from WGC34 (2wd) so R33 one should fit.

Why Waste MONEY doing that on Rear

Because all though the rear 'axle' as a component does less of the overall vehicle braking, it's also got substantially smaller hardware in which to do it with, so the rear brakes, more often than not, work just as hard in the back as they do in the front when pushed hard. The biggest mistake people make is neglecting the rear, hitting the hills/track, having the rear fade out without them noticing, and put more pressure on the front, which fade, and then get blamed...

When it comes to pads in particular, there's VERY few applications where we don't recommend running the same pads front and rear. VERY light front wheel drives and Porsches (the later for fairly unique reasons) are the two major exceptions. And the same thought process have to be applied when discussing upgrades and caliper choices.

+1 on all of the above.

Might also add though that a good street setup for me is to try to get a little more bite/bias on the rear.....but there are problems with this setup as you can very quickly run out of talent!blush.gif

    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
    • The fact that US/JDM plates actually fit the skyline bumpers properly is a big, big thing for me as they are the correct dimensions. Annoyingly you can't opt for a normal plate (or plate combination) in that size. You have to make up your own one, and at that point you'd still know it wasn't randomly assigned. 
    • Well, really, that's any ECU, because it's not so much the ECU that the tuner connects to, but a laptop that's connected to the ECU. You have to have the tuning software installed locally. The "remote" part is essentially just remote desktop (RDP) or VNC type access. Nevertheless, if you're looking to upgrade, then you're immediately in the Haltech/Link territory, both of which can be done by any number of competent tuners here in Oz. But without a dyno, you'll definitely also need a wideband O2 sensor fitted, and you'll probably be relying on "auto" tuning a bit, where you drive it around under various loads and then apply the corrections that the ECU learns (basically applying the fuel trims that the ECU has to do to correct the mixtures). Tuning the timing is a little harder. It can be difficult to trust the old OEM knock sensors on RBs, so it is definitely best to have someone who knows what they're listening for, with knock ears (a piezo microphone connected to the engine, and and little amp and headphones so the listener can hear the angry men with hammers who live in the engine). That is more difficult to do remotely, and I suspect the only sane way is to be quite conservative on timing. But that's OK. You're probably waaaaay better off with conservative timing where you are. What is the fuel situation? 98RON available? Or low grade jungle juice?
    • I see your point, I didn't think too deep into it, was purely focused on the price. There's no bad blood between myself and GSM, they acknowledged the price was cheaper else where and at the time couldn't match it.
