Hey all.. Just went in to my local Autobarn for some hose and enquired about brake pads for my S2 C34 Stagea and "it just so" happened that they had a set of Bendix ones, the are DB1170's but looking here I think they may have given me the wrong ones? Can anyone confirm if DB1170's are right for a 2000 model Stagea?

3. Fit remsa pads

Remsa is only $10 more than the qfm hpx and are supposed to be a bit better again

Either way you can't go wrong

Dust?

As far as I'm concerned; if brakes don't dust up, you can't really expect anything to special out of them.

They are a bit dusty, nowhere near as dusty as TRW/Lucas pads, but if you had white wheels; well, you wouldn't anymore... Having said that; it just washes off with soapy water.

In any case, with slotted rotors, you have to expect some dust.

That's why my wheels are painted Toyota Tungsten, and not white. :ninja:

Ah. I remember when I had white wheels.

But alas, that was two weeks ago, when I last washed it.

For some of you who had fitted an R34gtt calipers and rotors(front only) on to their PNM35/NM35, can you tell me how much you had to grind off on the bottom steering knuckle/hub to clear the rotor? to stop it from rubbing. When I trial fitted my calipers and new rotor from r34gtt it rubs on the dust shield and the offending knuckle/hub. And when I tightened the wheel nuts on the rotor I can still slightly spin the rotor, so this indicated to me that only a few mm will need to be gring off? Obviously dust shields will need to be trim as well.

They clear the knuckle fine; it the dust shield that is the issue.

I cut the dust shield away almost completely; if you rotate the wheel with everything fitted you'll get a witness mark on the dust shield. Cut a couple of mm inside the mark.

Either that or measure the id of the back of the rotor, and transfer that dimension onto the dust shield. Cut accordingly.

Yeah I rotated the rotor and it scored the dust shield nicely so i can cut nicely around it. The new rotor will also need to be skimmed before it gets fitted on. The r34 back ID rotor is alot shallower compare to the stagea rotors. It just Im not sure how much is needed to grind off the knucke. Will it weaken it? It seems ARX-four maybe has a different offsets or knuckle/hub assembly?

      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?
