there are alot of pics on how to do your own brakes and swap etc etc i know alot of people on here are always curious how to do the rear brakes an front in regards to the pistons this one has some photos and you can use alta vista to translate them

but one thing i want to know what the hell is this mod

http://www.aa.aeonnet.ne.jp/~col/tune/master/master.htm

it doesnt look like its doing anything except bracing the m/c

this shows an alternative when swapping to 5 lug as opposed to drilling your strut holes to fit s14 bolts thru. just use a sleeve

Haven't you seen the Do-Luck super engine chassis brace before?  Pressing the brake pedal causes all kinds of stress on the chassis resulting in a weaker structure.  This is claimed to reduce torsional flex by up to 27%.  It's supercar technology straight from the Ricetrack.

I have no idea what it does either.  I've had people sit in the car and pump as hard as they can so I could look for leaks in the brake booster and never saw it move.  Maybe it's to help cool the MC through conduction.  That's about the best idea I can come up with, of course a heat sink off a CPU would work better.  I guess APC has a sister company in Japan.  JPC (Japanese Pricey Crap).

I think that's a mod for when you have R34 GT-R Brembos all around, a Z TT M/C, full stainless line, Motul fluid, and you just can't think of anything else to spend your money on.  So, rather than use that Benjamin to light a cigarette, you'd rather burn it on that retard brake brace.  Yay.
