so your saying put a piece of timber either side in the vice so its not touching the metal vice, or by soft do you mean wrap it in a cloth then wack that straight in the vice and tighten up?? still have to buy another set of rear pads though....i guess that's not as much as an upgrade.

Just wanted to give a big thanks for the information, I went to a few Sprint auto parts who just assumed mine was a 4wd....luckily I didn't buy anything, Repco weren't much help either but autobahn had some for me, does it really matter what brand we're using though?

Very neat on clearance there, but I' think you'll be impressed with the improvement!

Yip very happy with it. Calipers getting painted this weekend and rotors are getting skimmed this coming week to remove rust. Decided to go

for new set of wheels because Im not comfortable with wheels spacers. Suspension height will remain standard, as our roads still badly damaged from the quake 2 yrs ago! Cant wait next weekend to bolt it all together now :yes:

Have you thought about getting them to slot the rotors while they're there? Normally costs $50ish per rotor, if your rotors have plenty of meat it is a worthwhile exercise.

I am fitting 32gtr to my s1 just got to get motivated lol plus still waiting on some cash to come in to grab 33gtst rears plus giving my rims a face lift

LOL, I'm in exactly the same boat. I have the R32 GTR front calipers, need to get a matching set of rears. If I can afford it when I do it, I think I'll also stump up for a new set of slotted rotors all around too.

I've been slack and haven't gotten around to upgrading my brakes (F&R R34 GT-T Rotors and Calipers). I cracked open the box since it's been sitting in the shed for about 2 months and looked at the lines I got with them...

This is one of the braded lines I got with it (good thing I saw that they are ADR Approved)

the other braided line is exactly the same

The rears are the stock R34 lines

As you can tell from the last photo it appears that it has been cut from the hard line I think (all the lines have been cut at that point)

Do you think these will work on a S2 Stagea and will the stock R34 rear lines work or will the standard Stagea's one work?? Is there anything extra I need to be aware of??

post-94823-0-07649600-1361007761_thumb.jpgWoohoo got my r34 calipers and rotors fitted on finally. As per some members described, the banjo fittings of the stagea wont screw in properly inside the r34 calipers and suggestions is to remove the olives inside the caliper. We didnt ended up doing this. We drilled the banjo fitting ENDS to TAPER and screw it in nicely(see pic). Also ended up not cutting the dust shields or grinding the steering knuckles, instead fitted a 3mm SLIP-ON spacers between the hub and the rotors which gave us a nice gap in between, washers with the same thickness was used to spaced the calipers and between the mounting lugs. Took it for a test drive and overall braking performance is now way better than the standard single pot calipers.post-94823-0-03811900-1361008584_thumb.jpgpost-94823-0-51631000-1361008614_thumb.jpgpost-94823-0-41298100-1361008658_thumb.jpg

ok, so i should buy the nismo ones to suit my car then? i have the compete R34GTT brake line set-up from caliper to chassis connection, will i just use the last bit of the GTT line that goes to the caliper and screw that into the nismo braided lines to suit stagea?

Nick

While I would normally recommend Nismo gear, remember their brake lines are not ADR approved.

Have you tried Maltech? Expensive but great quality.

There will be something cheap around that fits, what has everyone else done?

    • Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
