bungy 2 Posted April 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 I was offered a set of front brakes to upgrade from the single piston 312mm ones fitted to the 4motion to the twin piston 334mm ones fitted to the R32. Included in the package was some Tarox dimpled and grooved discs, Red Stuff pads and Goodridge hoses. All of this came from Paul Parky and so thank you very much mate. I set about prepping, cleaning and painting everything prior to starting the installation which was very simple as they are a direct fit. I did test fit the one of the alloys and the clearance is very small but acceptable.The 312mm setup is now for sale as no longer needed http://www.vr6oc.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?434422 Link to post Share on other sites

bungy 2 Posted April 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 nice' date=' whats it like with the wheel on? All disc? :-)[/quote']I'm running 17's so there is minimal clearance between caliper and wheel. Looks good though. Just need to finish bleeding the system. No air coming out but long pedal travel.

bungy 2 Posted May 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 With the di-noc done I needed to replace my gear knob to match.BeforeAfterWith the added benefit of a nice new leather gator aswell. Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted May 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Another job today was to replace my air-con compressor "O" seals. At Christmas when Paul and myself fitted the head spacer we noticed my green stained compressor from a failed "O" seal.I did originally think that I'd have to remove the front end to replace the seals but Matt from United Motorsport explained that it was possible to reach from underneath and this I did.The compressor with both hoses disconnected from beneath and no need for gas reclaimation after it had been lost through the leak anyway.The die staining from where it had leaked.And a comparison between old and new seals and the ragged one that failed stained with refrigerant die.Just need to find somewhere to re-gas it now.

spadam 7 Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Buy the gas and do it yourself it easy to do. Just need a bottle of refrigirant. Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted May 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 TBF it is probably easier and cheaper to get someone to charge it. I would be happy doing it myself but those little bottles you can buy are only top-ups and this needs a full re-gas. Link to post Share on other sites
spadam 7 Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Yea fair enough I no you can get large bottles of the stuff but is expensive. Only benefit woukd be you should have enough left over for top ups when required. Link to post Share on other sites

As in need swapping side to side, ive always had disc so pattern kinda goes other way Link to post Share on other sites
spadam 7 Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Mine are also fittest the same as marks been assured this is the correct way round. Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted May 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 It doesn't go by the pattern on the disc but the vanes between the disc that do the air cooling. They are the right way round. Link to post Share on other sites
legvw 0 Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Mine are also fittest the same as marks been assured this is the correct way round.Yeah that the right way, i think there might even be an arrow on the discs? But i had them that way, i think i had the calipers the other way though..... Link to post Share on other sites
