Front Calliper Refurb,
The alloy type caliper suffer from slight flexing where they attach to the hub thats why they were changed to cast iron same as s14 ones latter on.

I got my kit of ebay £30 it was easy to fit cable tied ballasts to loom etheir side it was a 6000k kit branded VIP HID best £30 ever spent its a nice daylight white light not too blue .Its actually easier to fit to a jap car as the red and black spade conectors in the kit push into the red and black original nissan plugwhich orginaly went to bulb no need to mess around with earth unlike on the uk car.The hid bulbs are a bit longer than the standard bulbs becarefull not do damage the when fitting .

S14 rear coilovers on a Z32
I sure r32 skyline rear have a sloted bottom rear shock mount the same as z32 not a eye type .If you use tein flex coilovers the bottom mounts un screw and can be swaped over .i would avoid welding dampers as there are gas filled.

Spigot rings and spacers.... :s
Most aftermarket wheels have a centrebore of 73mm so you need a 73mm -66.1mm the plastic ones i have are just marked 73 -66 .Ture any non hubsentic bolt on or slip on spacer will make the wheel will not centre properly but if the spacer is hubcentric to the correct z32 hub diameter of 66mm this will be ok .Also dont use any more than a 6mm spacer without using longer studs .Remember the front and rear studs have a diffrent size spline diameters the front are( m12 x1.25 pitch with a 14.3mm sline )the rear are (m12x1.25 with a 13mm spline.

Got Clutch bleeding problem to
Just fixed clutch problem i think most of the problems are with 20 year old master cylinder seals .Spent ages trying to bleed (1 litre of fluid) still air and bubbles in pot ordered a new piston kit from Nissan expecting a few seals but you get a complete replacement cartridge piston -spring -seals -clip .Youl find the old seal is worn and the cartridge will slide out easy this is where i think bleeding becomes a problem because there not enough vacuum in the cylinder .after fitting new piston kit it bleed first time .I have the part no for this kit its £25 from Nissan .Bit of a pig to fit master cylinder. Also fitted a new blue print slave at the same time works a treat now. :gun_bandana:
