anyone for a brake upgrade?

[Guardian]

I picked up a set of struts from a wreckers lying aound for my old 240k a few years back.

They ere about 275mm ventilated disks. Made a huge difference.

Same size disk as the early 300z. I believed they were out of a 1988 silouette skyline australian model.

resurrection time ... if kent is still around? ... hey kent, does the r31/z32 combo require positive offset wheels? i ask because here 510 guys run s12/z32 combo, and that requires positive offset wheels

Hi Matt,

unfortunately i didn't actually get the R31/Z32 combo installed, so i can't really help.. i originally had the hilux/accord combo on the front (with steel wheels, not that it was ever on the road in this setup), which i then replaced with R34 GTT calipers and rotors with custom mounts.

I still have the Z32 N/A calipers here though if anyone wants them.. and i also have 2 BNIB rear caliper mount to suit a DR30 (early models that used a bracket rather than being welded to the arm), which should fit straight up to the rear axle..

Can you put up a few picture of the caliper mount please.

no probs, i will get a pic when i am next over there.

I also have a brand new US 15/16" Master cylinder too..

Do you have a booster to go with that master? also what master/booster combo are you using?

[khughes]

no, i am afraid not.. but it should work with the standard booster..

i am using a 1" DR30 skyline master on mine (apparently pretty rare now).. and i "think" that the booster was a 10" R31 item (but it could have been a DR30 one too..)

My std booster is the size of your fist and looks more like a clutch booster than a brake one. I'll look into getting a DR30 set up like you. Have you tested your brakes out yet?
