Part 2 : i need a brake!

Tuesday - all the parts have return from Wah Seng. the delay was because they were having a hard time sourcing for the drive shaft boot cover~

yeah nissan status....LOL!!

r33 2 pot with x9 disc rotor

the original plan was to use the r33 disc as well but the inner disc diameter was a bit small compare to the x8/x9 thus making it not fit :P

as i mention before,i do have a spare x9 subframe so why dont make things more interesting

reason why i opted for a x9 disc~the right is x8 disc

smile and say BIG

haven't got a chance to test it yet since it was already late~

Part 1 : i need a brake!

Friday - the main target is to fix the annoying noise sound from the subframe area,which at first suspected was a broken drive shaft

since we going to open most of the rear part today,i decided to install the r33 2pot as well and swap the tein faulty rear top mount with the JIC one

with the help of my friend Sham a.k.a Mong-gek

halfway through we noticed that is wasn't the drive shaft that was causing the damn noise since there was nothing wrong with it~

thanks to a poor installation that was done by the previous mechanic~the inner part of the drum shoes have fallen a part..

the damage~spring,washer,clip etc~brake shoes and the inner part of the brake disc rotor..

not to mention this was on the both side~left and right....SIGH!

luckily i have a spare x9 subframe at home and F.I.Y x8 and x9 share the same brake shoe=D

pulled out the parts needed and one problem solved :P

i cant use the x9 brake shoe becoz it was already too thin~so i went to Weng Hin~only to find out the item cost rm360 for a pair,need to be ordered plus i have to wait another 2 week huhuhu

upon discussion with Mong-gek,he told me that to sand paper the rough part of the brake shoe since it is still thick and use it back..

next thing to do is to sent some stuff over to Wah Seng (machinery shop) to change the slightly torn drive shaft boot cover,skim the disc and make a bracket for the r33 2pot caliper~

noticed the yellow thing on the second picture...

now the only thing to do is wait~

end of part 1

part 2 : axle roses no more

bought the x8 subframe a few month back..but been keeping it at a friend shop because not enough money to install it~

what i didnt know when i buy it,is the subframe/irs was from a gx81 model and not the jzx81..jz model use 6 allen key screw..oh well,on the bright side the ratio is 4.1 ratio:) and i send it over to Za to weld the diff..

after a week in the workshop this is how it look,noticed the rear is more lower than the front,because of this
