I See that the brakes have sold, But I was wondering if you could answer a couple of questions regarding them for me?

What brake master cylinder were you running with them? Stock R33? If so did it have much freeplay in the pedal? Long pedal?

Did you still retain the ABS, Or was it removed?

Who made up the hats and dogbones for you? would they still have the measurements to make another set? or sell me the CAD measurements?

I'm looking at running a set under the same wheel you have shown in the photos (Enkei RPF1 18x10.5 15 offsett) there was no issues with those fitting?

Thanks for your time,

Chris.

Jack. I can provide ;)

Would you like carbon pads with that? double ;).

Tempting!!!!! Remember you posting years ago about your collection of brakes, insane..... :thumbsup:

Awww damn... I was even considering buying these off you Jack!! :P I don't even have a GTR to put them on, but I would have found a way to fit them to the S15 :worship: Nevermind.. I am still rather envious though :yes:

You have two sets of Alcons already, that's enough for you buddy boy!!!!!!

So what mods are planned for the evo? :P

None for now, keeping it stock so it doesn't cost me too much money to maintain....

Hey Chris,

I was using the standard master cylinder with ABS, did not have free play or long pedal at all, in fact needed much less force on the pedal to stop, basically you could rest your foot on the brake pedal and your eyes tried to detach themselves from your skull. Very firm pedal, was very impressive.

PWR in QLD did the adaptors and hats, they have the drawings and dimensions.

I wouldn't run them with the Enkeis, there was only about 1mm clearance between the caliper and the rim, if a stone got in there it would make a mess. Nismo LMGT4's or TE37's would be your best bet....

Hope that helps...

Cheers,

Jack

      Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.

      Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.

      Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.

      It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
