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)

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
