ok ok

this is the way i've done it...

Fitted up new URAS brake shoes which fit straight in.

unwound the handbrake level completely

put disc on hub (over shoes)

adjusted the little cog at the bottom both sides until wheels wouldnt turn, and then wound a little off

put wheels back on

lowered down

adjusted (tightened with 10mm) at handbrake lever (and again...and again)

still not 100% happy with my result - is this how everyone else has done it?

i'm going to take it all apart and start again tomorrow (needs to be ready for G1 drift SATURDAY!)

thanks.

cables may be stretched... that or the pads are poo (i havent tried them personally so i cant comment but could be a possibility?)

have also been told getting sand paper and roughing up the surface on the inside of the rotor which the shoes grip to helps also

i took rims off both sides

both drums off

h/brake off

and just tightened em till i couldnt slide the drum back on,then backed it off til they slid on.

worked well for me,as u know after swappin slides at lala.

also thing ur cables are streched..... ur handbrake was very "rubbery"

well i think i've solved it

in the shed it feels insane - but have to test on the road i guess :S

i did all the same but wound the lever out HEAPS!!! this gave me a hell of a lot more adjustment at the hubs - it sort of just feels right now... fingers crossed - also blew out the dust with a compressor, and scuffed the shoes and inside of disc!

will post up results.

hey buddy

32 cables arent fine there to short I tried em when i did my five speed conversion ages ago hrmmmm well thats my two cents worth good luck man

Hi,

Im just about to do that conversion myself. Can you please tell me which hand brake cable can be used?

hi guys

well what i ended up doing is... i still used the 32 cables but had each of the two cables at the rear lengthened by an inch or so i cant really remember i got a place in dry creek adelaide to do it cost stuff all worked a treat :dry:

    • I did not go to GTR Festival. It's quite a long drive and the car wasn't dialed in yet. I also wanted to see how the racing portion went before going. From what I can tell the classes were not heads up, index, or bracket - just whoever has the quickest ET wins. Never heard of that sort of thing before and maybe some people like it but it's not my cup of tea. I don't suspect I'll go if that is how the racing is done. I did get the car out three times and had issues each time. Some were my error - haven't raced the car in over two years - and others were parts. Had trouble getting the clutch to slip correctly and remembering how it was set up in the Haltech. Broke some drivetrain parts as well that couldn't be fixed in a couple days to get back out. Season definitely didn't end the way I wanted but at least the bearings are still fine! Not a fleck of material in the filter. Really hoping next year is the year I can actually test this car properly. 
    • find it funny everyone claims different fuel chains, do different things with their fuel blah blah blah. We don't have that many fuel terminals in Australia. The fuel tanker trucks drive into the terminal, fill up, and drive directly to the service station and dump out. The majority of fuel you get, is coming out of the same terminals. The variation is actually at the individual service stations and how good their tanks are, as well as how much turn over they actually have. Older fuel stations, that haven't had their tanks replaced are going to end up with the worst fuel. Also a lot of older stations have shit design, and shit maintenance, and end up with more water absorption into the tank. This is when you then get a bad batch of fuel. Other shit things happen, like tanker drivers have a f**k up, and starting to unload the wrong compartment on their truck into the wrong tank. 
    • Yeah go with that one
