Hey dude, how much did that set you back?

$1700 for front calipers off yahoo japan auctions with pads, and brand new never used cond :D

and $180 for front braided lines

and $800 for the 2 dba 5000 rotors, usually retail for $1000 for the pair

cheers

just thought id keep all the brembo info together. i know theres not alot of guys out there that have put r34 brembos on stags. but just wondering if anybody has come across the problem of the discs sitting to far back and rubbing on the caliper???

complete set of wilwood: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Big-Brake-K...sQ5fAccessories

exactly that kit, same price (shipping was a hundred $ cheaper, AUD dollar vs USA / UK dollar is slightly down now compared to around 3months ago when I bought this kit)

fits series-1

however longer wheel studs and 8mm(minimum) spacers required to clear most rims

Ive fitted it up, no worries bar require the above (receive studs tomorrow, I hope)

So got to unbolt, fit new studs, spacers, going to flare the guards with my ebay guard roller and test drive

I fitted $10 speed bleeders to make it easy to bleed the brake lines by myself.

Will report on how they feel and perform

the user who started this topic is actually me. I fitted them with no dramas at all, and they are still on the car today.

strange. on my stag the brake front rotors (im using rda's though) sit too far inwards and they are hitting the back of the caliper. hmm, mines a ser2 maybe theres a small difference.

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
