GROUP BUY ENDS 31 MARCH 2009

UAS brake booster stoppers reduces firewall flex when braking for more responsive braking.

The pedal has a more positive feel (a less spongy feeling).

A must for track days and worth considering for enthusiastic streeters.

DIY installation.

What you get:

5mm laser cut alloy

TIG welded

Anodised black

Stainless allen key adjusting bolt

Stainless mounting bolts to secure direct to recessed nuts on inside of strut tower.

Full kit much is lighter than Cusco and as strong, looks better and won’t rust.

Price: $70 each plus delivery.

Delivery: $12.50 freight and handling.

The RRP from UAS is $95

(This price compares very favourably to the Cusco brake cylinder stopper $175 delivered Nengun).

Installation takes about 10minutes tooles required:

10mm spanner or socket + 5.5mm hex key (or strong fingers and pliers)

Step 1. Remove the plastic covers on the drivers side to reveal the recessed nuts in inner skirt.

Step 2. Align alloy brake stopper and install mounting bolts.

step 3. Tighten allen key adjusting bolt against the brake cylinder.

Step 4. Check and re-tighten bolts after 1-2 weeks.

what are the chances there is damage to the cylinder wall if you stomp your brakes real hard and the cylinder instead of flexing pushes against the stopper??? Wouldn't it be a good idea to have some sort of thick rubber cap there instead of metal-on-metal ??

i have never heard of damage due to this issue.

the reason for using a metal brace is to reduce the effect of firewall flex so the brakes function as intended.

do you want me to add you to the GB list?

I understand the purpose of it and I'm "probably" in for the next GB due to finances right now .. but I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that the Cusco one has a rubber cap so that the brake cylinder isn't hitting metal on metal as that can damage the cylinder and that all these other copies are just completely made out of metal.

edit: I suppose it would be rather ease to just glue on a piece of rubber on the part that touches the brake cylinder so I guess it's a non-issue. Will you run this GB again later this month? Cheers

yeah i'm sure this GB can go again if there is interest (and UAS are keen to let me do it again).

i intend on fulfilling the first 5 orders asap. so hopefully pick-ups as soon as tomorrow and delivery once the money has cleared.

regardless, the GB will still be open for the whole month and i will organise the delivery/pickup for anyone else until 31 march 2009 (or UAS run out, whatever comes first. i am assured there are plenty in stock).

      I think for the sake of hopefully avoiding too much harassment when I import it back to the states and then depending on what state I end up in that staying twins is the way to go.  I'm in the military, so I could end up in some nanny state that gives me grief.

      Hi everyone, just letting you know that these parts are in great condition, came off a registered and driving car. I just upgraded to Brembos. Thanks 😊

      A Reminder To Check Your Radiator Fan For Cracks And Stress Fractures

      By tridentt150v · Posted

      Not on a Skyline, but on my "who gives a fk" 4wd, I found said cracks so used a CA glue and filler [ok superglue and baking powder but maybe fancier, who knows]. Fan was still going fine many years later when I sold it, inspected when I replaced the HB and it was all still together then, was actually impressed with my cheap arsed fix :), wasn't sure it would last that long, but it was fine.

      A Reminder To Check Your Radiator Fan For Cracks And Stress Fractures

      I have seen the aftermath of a rotten old stock fan. It took apart the shroud, wrecked some other stuff (PS or A/C, IIRC) and damaged the bonnet. Not ideal. Sometimes they die more gracefully. Sometimes they live for years and years looking like they should come apart. The GKTech fan is not different to how it ever was. At least as far as I know. Whether it is any good or not is more a question of what climate you're using it in. In Canuckistan it seldom gets hot enough for the capability of the fan to matter as much as it does here in Fourex. So you should be able to use it without too much concern. You can always sell it to a driftkid in an S14 if you don't like it.

      I noticed a few cracks in my fan today, which lead me to this post. Has anyone actually seen a fan explode? Is the GKTech replacement still no bueno?
