How much were the braided lines? And pads?

Russman did you do the rear aswell? or just the fronts?

Just fronts.

Mines half done now, Drilled out the front to 13.5mm Closest drill bit we had in the garage and the 3 toolshops I went to didnt have 14mm drill bits. But did pick up the M14 X 40 bolt I was missing 1.

Once drilled out to 13.5mm I just grabbed a file and started filling away untill the bolt fits through. (It was some special rounded file just fitted through the whole, couldnt believe my luck:D) R34 calipers now bolted on the front and f**k me does it pull up quick.

Cefiros are obviously 4 stud, so did the 5 stud conversion at the same time so that the 5 stud rotors would fit and I get a better selection of mags latter on. Just using my brothers old standard R33 rims since hes upgraded his, works out quite perfectly.

Got to do the rears soon. That shouldnt be anywhere near as bad as im sure the bolts on them are the same size.

Got the 5 stud conversion off Just Jap, $500

R34 rotors/calipers, $700 (includes $200 for postage :devil:, NOTE BRAKES ARE HEAVY) So what was cheap worked out a little bit more.

Standard rotors and standard brake pads, cant wait until they need replacing which is a perfect time to upgrade to Bendex ultimate and maybe some DBA rotors.

One happy chappy here.

Good stuff. So what do you get in conversion? Just the 5 stud hubs? Wow. $200 for postage is pretty extreme even with the weight! I've heard people posting 4 rims for $100!

I'm having a bit of trouble with mine now with heat spots after a fang through the tawonga gap near wodonga. The only thing I can think is the problem is if the spacers on my front wheels (about 3mm) aren't perfectly flat and it is causing the heat spots and consequently vibrations. or maybe it's just brake pad compound, I went for some endless pads. Pretty annoying...

Yeah but I live in perth. Welcome to the most remote place in the planet. Goint From Perth to East is dirt cheap as all the containers go back empty from trucks/trains. Anything East to Perth your paying a mint for as its all full (no spare room)

Cost me $850 to get my car from Adelaide to Perth picked up from/dropped off door to door with insurance.

Not sure with that one. Ive got no problems, yet to do the rear still. I just cant believe how those R34/R33 bakes are, they shit over shitty Silvia brakes.

Hope you find and fix the problem though.

hey guys, im just doing this conversion onto an R31 skyline atm. however, i have it bolted up on one side and it appears that the caliper is not entirely centerd over the rotor. R32/33 brake upgrades are quite common on 31's and usually require no washers to space the rotor out - so i assume if it WAS necessary to space the rotor out then you guys would have run into the same problem. is this the case??

if not, it might explain this vibrating you're talking about as the rear pad is contacting much earlier than the front.

I use to have an R31, I didnt think it was as simple for a brake upgrade on the R31 so I didnt bother. One thing that comes to mind is that you need the GTS1, GTS2, import R31 front struts as they are a fraction bit bigger, and then you can upgrade from their to R32/R33. But best to check on the R31 forums.

    • Hey everyone, I recently bought myself a 2001 Nissan Stegea M35, and I've had a few issues that I had to fix, my car would start intermittently and I had a bad rocker cover leak, after a couple days of looking I finally found a part number that interchanges with the OEM starter as the OEM starters at $1300 and I can't afford that, this starter was only $270 and I replaced the start and still had the same issues, I posted a video asking for help online and it went very well, some guy said it was probably a bad ignition switch so I took my dash apart and turns out my ignition switch was half screwed in and was loose, once it was tightened it fired right up, I found a local place called "Boost factory" and they sold me a part of OEM Nissan rocker covers, they were $600 which was a shocker but I couldn't find them anywhere else, so I installed them and fixed my oil leak as the old rocker cover was cracked and warped, I now need to replace my boost air inlet hoses as they have some cracks.
    • I am being real ocd and do not want to make amy mistakes so appreciate all help provided. I am overly cautious so asking for opinion even if i know the answer   few questions,   1.re tensioner, should spring be greased lightly?    2.tensioner has two washers , one pressure washer and other has recessed/ seat. I am going to put the recessed one facing tensioner where edges are cut out and pressure washer on top   3. my car has custom triger kit sold few years ago by guy who initially built the engine. I moved the crank gear and it moved in and out easy, only way to remove belt is to slide the crankshaft gear forward which I did. I have seen these being very tough to move , anything to do with my woodruff key?   it has a crank sensor shown in purple which I assume reads from the 12 teeth position mounted to the crankcase gear   4. timing belt doesn’t have arrow stating front or back just a arrow which I think is direction of rotation . Do you agree?   5.i figured out why my crankcase cover was worn as there was no washer installed over the crankcase cover before the harmonic balancer was put in place. It is missing, anyone knows the part number? It looks like this https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-crankshaft-timing-gear-rear-plate-washer-nissan-s13-ca18-a31-r32-rb20-r33-r34-c33-c34-c35-rb25?currency=USD   https://tinypic.host/image/IMG-4535.382Zy2 https://tinypic.host/image/IMG-4537.382dSz https://tinypic.host/image/IMG-4534.382q4U  
    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
