Royal

The last phot shows the rears, just havn't taken any phots of the car as a whole yet. £750 for full set with discs and pads although its looking like I'll need new discs and pads.

Not sure mate, they are the same ones that TonyC had on when he sold it. Obviously they are off now the new calipers are on but they had plenty left. Pads on the brembos are ds2500 but not much left. Will probably replace disc and pads unless they ware in and stop vibrating. What do you use?

Where abouts do they fit? After castle combe the other day I really do think the big (and maybe only) real weakness of the Zed is the brake fade. These would be well worth the money I reckon. Dave

Gonna try merlin motor sport at castle combe tomorrow. They've got some millers products on the website so maybe they'll have the oils too. Dave

Still 'borrowing' your oil adapter plate so couldn't borrow any more mate (I'll send it as soon as I get back to Plymouth)! Would buy the millers if you're willing to sell it? Not sure if its worth it due to post costs though? I was just thinking, maybe merlin motor sports at castle combe do it? gonna check if theres a web site as they are down the road ish a min. Dave

I sent him a message via his site as well, but still no reply. I'll phone him tomorrow, I'm getting pretty desperate now as I've done a lot of miles and a trackday on this oil. A change is overdue. Dave

Thats a good idea. I've got ducts underneath the 99spec bumper that feed air to the intercoolers. I wonder if you could make more just behind to feed air to the discs

Doesnt the valve on the battery side of the plenum adjust the air for when going high to low revs? The manual will probably have steps on how to check it.

Yeah, pm'd them several times but no answer. Havn't got round to trying the dog and bone mind. Keep forgetting to save the number

I was considering cutting it ,but thought it would be useful to leave it for protection?? Good point though.

Hi mate, could you email me the 10w60 report. My car has had millers 10w60 in for several years and runs very well,but I'm having trouble getting any. How much is the closest you do to this? Think I've asked you before, apologies! Dave

You smoke to much. Surprised you can see out the window. 50hp worth of cigarettes.

I don't approve of this sort of thing on a Zed club, could you post a bigger image please! Dave

Fitted my r34 Brembos today. No major headaches but it did take a lot longer than you would think mainly due to some stubborn bolts and my general ineptness (never played with brakes before!). I don't want to appear like I'm an authority on the subject or anything but I was thinking about putting these pictures up in the form of an HowTo type thing wrote out properly in the relevant section. Wondered if some of the people on here who do know what they are doing could give me their opinions on how it could have been better. The pictures show up all the brake fluid I was pi*sing everywhere trying to undo the brake line nuts! I removed the front brake lines because I was hoping to make the skyline nismo braided lines fit. I have 300zx ones but not here so wanted to use the skyline ones in the meantime. Unfortunately it didn't work so I put the normal ones back on for now. I junior hacksawed the dust cover behind the disc as otherwise you have to remove the hub assembly which seemed a major hassle and unnecessary. The drilling of the holes wasn't too bad, although a little emotional as I didn't want it to go wrong for obvious reasons. I did it on the car with the steering locked. I used a variable speed drill (quite important as the single speed one is too fast and jumps around) with a 14mm bit (fitted ok) and did it very slowly and deliberately. I checked every few seconds that it was staying equal and square. I must admit it did seem to be slightly off but seemed to balanced itself off and the calipers went on fine. The rear ones are the same as the skyline so it was just a case of taking the old ones off and fitting the skyline ones. The braided hose from the skyline worked here (which is good as I don't have braided ones for the back). I then bled them as per the manual. I'm using the second hand discs and pads, hoping to get a few months out of them before getting new ones. They don't feel all that good yet and are vibrating on harder braking, but do still stop well. I'm going to give them a week to bed in and then should know if they are warped and need new discs and pads. All opinions useful thanks. :dance: :smash: Dave

Sorry just been reading the article so I guess I need some new discs and pads. Oh well was hoping to get a few months out of these but still. Will see if they bed in for a few days maybe then get the new discs and try not to notice the overdraft!

What effect is the abs problem supposed to have. I've just fitted the r34 brakes all round (will post phots/howto tomorrow as have to go out). They seemed ok to start with, just needing some bedding in, but then started vibrating on slightly hard braking. I suspect that the discs need replacing but could it be the ABS? ps they certainly look the dogs danglies! a few heart beat moments drilling the holes out though but all ok so far. Dave

lol!

I heard it was 14.2% increase if its a red one

Maybe the call center staff should all be cabin staff instead. I havn't been to India but when I was in Bali and also Brunei the locals were brilliant, really good service. Wouldn't want them on the end of a phone though!

yes please

Fecker, thought you were serious with all that jae award stuff in your sig, respected and believed you for a minute. I'll get my coat.

Macs 300zxTT does 0-100 in 3 secs or thereabouts. At least thats what someone in the queue at tescos told me earlier.

Hello new bloke!

Cheapest mod going mate, highly recomend it. Get less det from the new tesco version though. Dave
