Righto, cables received... thanks Al.... although I can't help but feel that there's not enough hose... what about the hoses that run from the front of the car to the rear calipers? I'm assuming they're rubber as well? Or are they metal piping? I"ve never looked... time to read up on ripping my brakes apart.

OK. What is supplied in the kit is purfect, the only thing you need to reuse is the solid metal pipe that fits onto the Calipers on the front. Every bit supplied by Maltech is well labeled so is totally idiotproof.

The only thing i reccomend is that a GOOD quality 10mm Pipe Spanner is required because the fittings are extremely tight both undooing and dooing up and you dont want to round the fittings. I can't emphersise the GOOD QUALITY bit enough.

Fantatsic group buy Al

I got mine too. Went all the way down to drysdale (Geelong) to pick them up, but the Maltech boys were in Melb. that day. So I got them to ship em to me.

Rintaro, it is not too late, just post what you would like, i will update the first post (so Maltech can confirm the order) and follow the steps outlined in the second half of the first post (titled: What to do: ).

Allright, I'll see if I can do it Monday. I'm interested in braided brake lines for R33 GTS-t with red rubber end cap. So it's $356 delivered then.

Cheers,

Mine are in along with my DBA 5000's.  Was pretty easy to do.  I recommend poeple buy a 10mm pipe spanner.  they are worth the money

Damn, that would be the next mod list :-P

Nothing is worse than a car that won't turn and stop well on the track :-)

Yeah I took my car for a test run and I'm happy to say that it's a completly different car. There is a huge difference between a stock GTR and one with a few dollars spent in the right place. Brakes and suspension first. More power later.

    • Why not? Since mines been built, I've used low boost maybe 5 times.
    • Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.
    • Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
