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

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • 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.
