As per the topic who makes the best caliper adaptors for the HCR32, ive checked out UAS site im just wondering if there is others.

Also who should i order some braided brake lines from, im thinking maltech?

Lastly what would be the best fluid for the circuit?? Not endurance like track day stuff. Was thinking some ap racing stuff from somewhere lol

Thanks guys

>_<

The R32 UAS brackets are one piece. (280-324mm) The R33 are 3 pieces (296 to 324mm)

I have used the same setup for about 6 years and i dont think you will find a better arrangement without spending 3 times the money.

I also use RBF600. Its cheap so i make sure i regularly flush through 300ml. Its overkill but brakes are important and when the wheels are off the car i will give them a good flush with a full bottle and check the pad wear. The fluid is always clean so doesnt need it. I just do it as a regular inspection as i don thave anyone service my car regularly...so need to keep an eye on things myself.

You could use the much better Castrol fluid and get away with less frequent flushes. The stuff is around $120 a tin from memory. I have never used it, but it i know plenty of people that do. The only other fluid i have used has been the AP/Lockheed 5.1 which was good, but more expensive then the Motul

Thanks for the reply Roy, ill give the rbf600 a try first up. Is the brake balance affected much running larger front discs, does anything need to be done with the master cyclinder? My car has ABS if it makes and difference.

Cheers

    • GTSboy, thank you again. i’ve been reading all the other SAU RB25 vacuum line threads and you have the utmost patience for people asking “where do my vacuum lines go”. it’s appreciated. i did also enlist a few other RB guys local to me.  i would like to run 5 to 4. turbo pressure side to wastegate actuator. i would like to run 3 to 1. power steering air valve line to intercooler outlet. (this is how it was previously). i was told 2 is the bleed port for the boost solenoid - which i’m not running - so should be capped.   anyone see any problems with that?    
    • So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.
    • Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?
    • Should have asked what is the car?
    • I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.
