Jan makes good stuff

I looked for one since i got my car in 1999. Found one finally in 2015, I forget what I paid but i paid a premium at the time and drove 9 hours round trip.

I used gear oil safe sealant for mine. Car sat for over a decade unused and when i finally got it moving it still held.

I mean for those reservoir hoses it cost me maybe 20$

I just use replacement hose from the dealer.

Bought these and they were appropriately sized. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01G3NTI32?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

Ok so my cad skills stink. I started off now attacking the vr4 calipers. I made a cardboard bracket for now and I'm passing that off to my friend who is a draftsman to make a 2d model. From there i can extrude it and make myself a 3d printed mock up. Should the mockup work out, I'll get it made in aluminum. If anyone else wants a set I'll find out how much it would be. After i have the vr4 calipers done, I'll continue to work on a ls430 caliper bracket.

Thanks, I'll pick up some petg and reprint might be better for this application

It was a mistake. I oriented it with the vacuum nipple up. I honestly have no idea how it printed successfully.

Sweet, only ever seen that thing as a drawing in the fsm

I used PLA+ for the first print. I was surprised it came out flawless of my low quality printer. I used 20% infill and no supports. I have some PETG but haven't tried to print with it yet. I'm not sure if PLA+ will handle underhood temps in the airbox location or not. I don't think it gets too hot over there on a stock car. I'm using Fusion360. I find it difficult to place things where I want them. The last time I used any CAD software was in the middle 90's in middle school and I remember Autocad being easier to place things where I want. I do have a printer, it's a BIQU B1 SE Plus. Size and availability was a factor in the decision to purchase this printer. My main goal of this printer was to design a plastic mockup for the LS430 brake calipers and 3kgt vr4/300zx brake calipers. This MAF filter adapter was a quick thing to try to make something reasonably accurate.

Thanks, It's the first thing I designed myself. No matter what, my screw holes ended up in the wrong spots, so I gave up on them

One of my Starions I adapted a 1G DSM MAF, the 1G MAF doesn't fit in the Starion aircan and the 1G air can doesn't fit nicely into the Starion, so I made an STL for an adapter to use a standard cone filter. If anyone wants on you can download the STL from here https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5801293 I used a truck cone filter. I didn't model the holes for the bolts. Just dab some paint on the MAF nuts to locate them and drilled the holes myself.

You got something loose somewhere

Their kits use Wilwood calipers if they ever delivered them, wish they did. Oscars kit used bmw rotors.l, I'm not sure which model

I'm working on trying to get a low budget bbk that anyone can do just to spite them, working with either vr4/300zx calipers or lexus ls430 calipers. Just may take a bit of time to get it done. https://www.starquestclub.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/150267-anyone-know-if-rx7-calipers-are-the-same-as-vr4300zx/

Don't bother. I paid them. They claim about a week for delivery. They said first for a few months my kit (rotors, bracket, etc) was ready except for calipers waiting on Wilwood. Then they called to say calipers came in and they were sending my rotors off to be machined. Called a month later and they told me that everything was ready except they were waiting on my calipers to arrive. Then when I mentioned they told me they had the rotors machined already and had to do it a second time I was wary. Then when they told me they had my calipers and don't anymore I was suspicious. For the next month they stopped returning emails and calls. I reached out to one of the owners on LinkedIn, no response. I filed a paypal dispute. They never responded after 15 days and I was refunded. Btw, they also knew i was expecting to order their unadvertised rear brake kit which was more than 2x as much as the front.

If you are going through that trouble, just see if you can find a different diaphragm for the one you have. Or adapt on from another car

Rockauto had one for me a few months ago

Off topic, but I'm not sure. I drove only 3 miles round trip to a shop for an alignment and they couldn't align with them. They are shoddily made and i was warned by another member about the dubious quality. If you have the same coilovers and value your life, don't drive on them and swap for D2. This is an unregistered car now. I'm using it for random projects while my other starion is getting painted.

Yes. There isn't much hanging off the vr4/300zx calipers, a little more hanging off on the ls430 calipers. I found an old post about someone using crown Vic rotors. I may look into using the crown Vic rotors. If they don't fit behind stock wheels w/ caliper from a test fit, i may see about getting them turned down to make them an in between rotor size.

Well, I tried 2 wheel spacers - 15mm and 10mm. 15mm has plenty of clearance but sticks out too far for my liking (unless I add more camber), and 10mm looks good, but doesn't clear (barely brushes both calipers. I need something in between. Rather than buying another set of spacers that I'm not going to use, I'm going to print out a 12mm spacer and see what that gives me in terms of clearance.

Your better off with D2 than ground control.

Please ignore the crappy coilovers, they will be removed before I drive this other car again. VR4 Caliper Needs a spacer but VR4 behind rim LS430 Caliper LS430 Caliper behind wheel. The LS430 caliper would be easier to adapter, since it is radial mount, but it might require a slightly larger rotor to accommodate
