Hey dude, how much did that set you back?

$1700 for front calipers off yahoo japan auctions with pads, and brand new never used cond :D

and $180 for front braided lines

and $800 for the 2 dba 5000 rotors, usually retail for $1000 for the pair

cheers

just thought id keep all the brembo info together. i know theres not alot of guys out there that have put r34 brembos on stags. but just wondering if anybody has come across the problem of the discs sitting to far back and rubbing on the caliper???

complete set of wilwood: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Big-Brake-K...sQ5fAccessories

exactly that kit, same price (shipping was a hundred $ cheaper, AUD dollar vs USA / UK dollar is slightly down now compared to around 3months ago when I bought this kit)

fits series-1

however longer wheel studs and 8mm(minimum) spacers required to clear most rims

Ive fitted it up, no worries bar require the above (receive studs tomorrow, I hope)

So got to unbolt, fit new studs, spacers, going to flare the guards with my ebay guard roller and test drive

I fitted $10 speed bleeders to make it easy to bleed the brake lines by myself.

Will report on how they feel and perform

the user who started this topic is actually me. I fitted them with no dramas at all, and they are still on the car today.

strange. on my stag the brake front rotors (im using rda's though) sit too far inwards and they are hitting the back of the caliper. hmm, mines a ser2 maybe theres a small difference.

    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
    • Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch 
    • re the security system, my Fuga/Q70 has the factory option where the puddle lights in the mirrors turn on when the prox key is detected, it was clearly dealer fitted and has a switch in the lower dash to disable it....it didn't have remote start but TBH I don't really miss that, I had it in the Stagea originally but never used it....we don't often have to warm the car up in the snow before we get in for Australia. And the Fuga also has the illuminated footwells, sounds like a useless feature but I actually quite like the indirect light within the car, it was a nice addition
    • Ok now I’m extremely jealous
