Hey guys did a search and cant seem to find much on this for my car.

Basically my car is a 88 Silhouette with RB25/30 T78 turbo and a few other things running 9psi.

Im looking at some time early next year, january/febuary to upgrade my brakes to handle to power it should be putting down a little better. At the moment its completely stock. I would like to upgrade the rotors aswell as calipers. Im just looking for some info at this point in time in what would be a good upgrade, i'm hoping the car will be putting down 450-500rwhp before too long and i know the standard brakes will not be able to pull me up in time.

Would like to spend a few grand, Dont want to go to crazy though.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Ben

best bet is talk to slip... he ran 32 gtst running gear.

alot of custom work and suspension issues.

a guy down at BDA (name starts with T) helped him out.

i have also done turbo caliper/rotor upgrades with custom dba slotted rotors for 4 stud applications.

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.

      A bit late but A disk S13P fit over stock R32 GTR brakes, usually A disk front, O disk rear works.

      Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.

      Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?
