s14 calipers fit straight on, but with s14 discs being wider you could do with spacers behind the pads to stop the pistons popping out when the pads get low, 10 psi is about right without an intercooler, 12 to 14 psi with, but get it checked out on a dyno, rob on here runs 16psi on a t3 with cossie i/c, get a cheap 5th injector set up and a pressure switch, then you can set the injector to come on when the afr starts to lean out, a crude method but works for cheap.

Thanks guys

useful as always!

The Pad spacers for the S14 calipers...just something the same shape as the pads' backing plate?

And I think I'll leave the 5th injector set up...I'm not sure what I want to do power wise yet, I've got a load of other bits to do first.

you can use a scrap set of pads, just grind the old pad off down to the metal.

That's exactly what I was thinking

I'll collect the bits.

Is there a company to recommend for the conversion brake lines?
If not no worries, I live a few miles from where the Driftworks braided lines are made. I'll ask them

One more quick one as I'm going to have a go at fixing the clock illumination tomorrow.

Firstly in the wiring diagram there is a "time control unit" do all the silvia's have that? Because is seems to suggest some do and some don't. If so will my UK prefacelift have it?

Secondly how does the cowling the goes over the top of the clocks on the dash come off? Clipped in? Had a 2 second look and couldn't see the obvious solution.

Cheers as always

theres 2 red strips that pop off and theres 2 screws behind them,then it just pulls out, don't forget to take your trip meter reset button off.

Cheers mate. A legend as always...I'd have been pfaffing around in there for ages with a flat blade before I noticed that!

Any ideas on that time control unit thingy, what ever that is?
