ones been snapped for a while Richie .... but it satin such a way on the caliper that it didnt leak - when they changed my pads yesterday they saw it .... its bent and snapped ... and just disintergrated when they took caliper off.

Other one is rusty and probably pay me to get that replaced as well.

And my disc were so badly in need of machining that theeir machine was "heavy duty" enough for the job so they had to take them to someone else.

that sounds like my old front brakes, they were getting really spongy and when i pulled off the wheels to get the suspension off we found that the caliper centre seals were gone on both sides.. that and the discs looked like they had ridges in them!

My brakes are good now but they shudder when they get hot cause they werent bled properly when they were changed.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
