MaygZ Posted October 13, 2012 Posted October 13, 2012 Refurbed Hilux Calipers? Yep. http://www.viczcar.com/forum/index.php/topic,11772.0.html Quote
Riceburner Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Should stop on a 10c piece Where's you get the slotted rear rotors? Were they $ Quote
MaygZ Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Scoota, I would love to see how you've set up the handbrake cable to operate the calipers at the front of the disc. Have you swapped the pistons from left to right so they turn 'backwards'? Simon Quote
Scoota G Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 You can see the new handbrake setup on the disc conversion thread. No i didn"t swap the pistons, the handbrake still pulls from the same direction but i shall post up another picture sunshine Quote
Retro Z Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 Was a master cylinder upgrade needed for this setup to work? Quote
Scoota G Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 Was a master cylinder upgrade needed for this setup to work? Yes as yet we can't get the pedal tight. Quote
Scoota G Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Turns out the problem was air in the rear calipers which was causing the soft pedal. He took care of it and sounded as pleased as punch on the phone. Part of the problem was tim because on the day we did; The R31 rear disc upgrade Toyota front caliper upgrade New inserts (KYB) Removed the rear King springs from the front and fitted them to the rear Fitted new front King springs. 11 Hours in total, was a big day.
