Brakes : Aftermarket Parts interference : Brake Pads and Two Piece Rotors

Brake pad to rotor interference. The OEM pads only have a squealer on one side

This is one of things, when you work on cars with aftermarket parts, you need to double check before final assembly. In this case, I was swapping from the Carbotech XP-12 racing brake pads, to a set that would be a little more street friendly.  While I enjoy race brakes, on the street it sounded something like a freight train.  It seemed like a good time to throw my two piece stock size 296 mm rotors on too.  The two piece rotors are about 4 lbs lighter than the OEM rotors. These are an old part, that is no longer made, and I am not even sure I remember the name of the manufacturer

Brake pad to rotor interference. The OEM pads only have a squealer on one side

For something cheap and easy to throw in the car, I bought a set of Stoptech 309.06470 brake pads for the front. However these are the same pad inner and outer. On a normal rotor, that wouldn't be an issue, but with my two piece rotors, I now have an interference issue. And of course I didn't rotate the wheel when it was in the air. I didn't check to see if there was interference. 

Squealer removed from this pad
Luckily I had an extra set of pads on the shelf, and I took the squealer off a couple pads, so then I will clear up my interference issue.

R32 Door Hinges : Strikers :Parts

R32 Door

Doors open and close. You use them a lot. They will have a tendency to wear out/get loose.  For the R32 the interesting part about the door hinges, is that there are two parts, and they are used for the right and left sides. Just the upper and lower switch positions.

Speedtek Close Ratio Gearset for Nissan Skyline GT-R


Speedtek close ratio gearset for R32 GT-R


I have noticed the guys from Speedtek for several years. They had a well priced close ratio gearset for the RB series transmissions. RB26 and RB25 FS5r30a.  I wanted to try out a set, and recently I was in contact with them.  The OS88 transmission I had in Nismo #500, went into/is going into Big Bird 2 so the trans in the Nismo was just a stock R33 transmission.  In theory a stock trans, making near stock power with a sprung hub clutch should be ok, but too stock is too boring.    I also have a Getrag V160 from an R34 GT-R, but I will keep that for another project, or another demo car here at Toprank Importers. 

The gearset that we are getting is:

1st 2.69
2nd 1.69
3rd 1.24
4th 0.99
5th 0.70

OEM Ratios for R32/R33 FS5r30a and R34 V160


Normal R32/R33
1 3.214
2 1.925

Speedtek billet center plate for FS5R30a transmission


Along with that we are getting a billet 6061 center plate, an overhaul kit, and early shift sleeve.

Nissan gearbox codes

F = Floor Shift
S = Overdrive
5 = five forward gears
R30 = gearbox series
A = first revision

Speedtek says this setup is good to at least 800 bhp.  Of course how you drive, the clutch you have, and even the fluid you use can have an effect on that. If you have lost a 3rd gear in an RB25, RB26, or 300ZX transmission then you  know you will need something more sturdy to make it survive.

Stock ones run hard, always let go. Upgrade it now, or upgrade it later if you run the car hard.
