Nah, just remove the restrictor and all will be good.

have a look down the hole, and you'll see a little piece of metal with a hole in it. Find a screw that'll thread down the hole, just like a wood screw or something, and then lever out with some pliers. Thats the way I did mine.

Have finished the brake upgrades. The RS4 now has the GTST 4 pot with std discs. The 2 pot off the RS4 are now on the 25G after a bit of juggling.

The RS4 and GTST pistons are both about 42 dia. Was surprised to see the 25G singles are 56 dia. Put an BM50 master cyl on the 25G to handle the bigger brake pads.

what diameter are the 25g rotors Hugh?

Might be a bit of an upgrade for my 31 :)

280dia, same as S1 and the GTST rotors now on the RS4.

I am interested in the dogbones to run bigger rotors for when the rwd 25G is turboed.

Well good news for me, a friend of mine is sourcing a set of R34 GT-T front and rear calipers (and short lines from what he told me) in the next couple of weeks. What is the good set of rotors to get? and what do I need to do in order to change my calipers. Are the lines the same? (I have S2 Stagea), Can I still run the Stagea Brake Master Cylinder or should I change that to the R34 one as well.

Yes I know I should be search for this on the forums...but I'm entering this on my mobile phone at the moment during a quick break at work

Will the 310mm front rotors fit straight on Wolverine or will I have to do some slight modifications??

I'm just waiting for funds to clear up so I can buy the R34 brakes and rotors from the link you put up (can't came fast enough...brakes are starting to squeal)

Sorry Jase, just saw the post. The rotors fit in fine. I bought calipers and RDA rotors but the brake lines didn't come in the box despite being included :rant:

Everything fitted fine including the rotors but the rear brake lines required braided lines to fit. Maybe be with R34 brake lines it can be made to work??

I should clarify, the BMC is the same size as the R34. The inlet and outlets on Nissan BMC's can be slightly different which may get them different part numbers.

A little over 1200 including freight via DHL. The freight was the killer.

I had no luck looking on Australian brake rotors, at least these fit my car without having to stuff around re-sizing and I don't want to convert my brakes as I mainly use it as a daily. Brembos are awesome, but not something I need as I rarely visit a track.

You shouldn't need to if the rotors are well made.

Best just to measure run out and check. If run out is excessive you'll have to send them back (which is difficult when you bought them from overseas I know).

This is what stopped me from getting the rotors from RHDJapan (BTW I was the one who got them to add them in) it's the weight of the rotors that makes shipping expensive...didn't matter where I was trying to get them from (RHDJapan, Greenline or Nengun) it was just killing for shipping. Before I found a R34 GT-T set on here I was going to get them from Import Monster.

On the subject of those R34 Brakes, I got them yesterday (Thanks to Wolverine for putting the link on here and tir31 for selling them)...now I know the fronts should be a direct fit but what do I have to do again to get the rears to fit (I remember that you have to trim the dust cover...am I right?? and if I am right by how much and where to trim)

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
