post-94823-0-13662800-1343084266_thumb.jpgOk just a recap of my brake upgrades. We did a trial fit on my NM35 ARX-four and the R34gtt 4pistons calipers with a M14 bolts is a straight bolt on affairs. No modification. My dust shield is non existent so no issues there. Also the brake hose is a straight bolt-on.

The Stagea came with a longer bolt compare to the R34gtt and will be using the longer bolt come upgrade time. Next is to get a pair of rotors from R34gtt.

Unfortunately the factory alloys would not clear the calipers so I will be using a 15mm hub centric spacers. New alloys could fix this problem but not an option atmo.

I also used the longer Stagea bolts when I fitted mine; I think the mounting points on the R34 must be a fair bit thinner.

They do protrude through the caliper mounting tag, but are still 4 mm away from the rotor.

Are you not using the rotors you have in the pic? They look to have a decent amount to meat left. You could always have them skimmed and slotted; would be cheaper than new rotors.

A 15mm spacer on the AR-X rims will actually put them at a nice position in the arches.

No not using the factory rotors, diameter is slightly out. 296x24mm for stagea. The pads sits slightly taller than the disc and there is a 6mm gap(3mm) either sides of disc to pads. So will have to use r34gtt rotors. Im hoping to get the conversion done all under $1k.

Ahh, gotcha, they're the AR-X rotors!

I thought it was a GT-t rotor! Carry on, pay no attention to me. :whistling:

You should be able to get a set of RDA slotted for around $300; I realise you're in NZ but as an example.

And a set of Remsa Pads for under $100 from GSL Rallysport (forum sponsors) these things are pretty impressive for the price.

Daleo and M35, do you need the rears too, do you think, or can we just stick with the M35 OEM rear brakes, when combined with the R34 GTt fronts? Do the R34 rears actually bolt up?

And you are using the M35 brake lines for the 4 pots, right?

M35, does your ARX have 17" wheels on it? I'm really keen on this setup myself, if I can get away with just spacers - quite like the later factory wheels, despite being only 17s.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

You'll be fine sticking with the OEM rears; the R34 rears don't bolt straight up. Yet.

Standard lines go straight in; but I remove the double flare seat from the caliper.

Sorry I must correct that. My car is a PNM35 ARX-four with an 18' factory alloy rims. Im not worried about the rear brakes yet.

Just check the sliders, my rear brakes were seized, couldn't really tell either.

      By Black_CSR · Posted

      Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
