HI All

[Dolph]

HI Guys

I'd thought I would introduce myself. I'm Dan (not dolph as the username suggests) I'm from Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, which is now famous due to the Buncefield explosion :oops:

Not really had many dealings with the legnums or Galants but have always liked them and would love to own one but sadly I think the running costs may be a little too much seeing as I am entering a mortgage soon :)

Anyhow I have been more familiar over the years with Nissans, Having owned 3 Nissan 200sx's

The first one (S13) got squashed by a horse, long story :sleeping:

The second one (S13) got modded quite a bit, although never being extremely fast it was running 32psi through a T3 turbo which was off Saphire cosworth 4x4.

The third one (S14a) got extremely modded had a rebuilt engine, which I did myself :evil2: The car got 325bhp at the wheels (384bhp flywheel) and 362lb/ft or torque :bananadan The spec of this car can be found here:- http://www.sxoc.co.uk/site/rides/ride.php?Member_ID=421

I am in the process of taking the 200sx back to standard to sell here to fund my mortgage :( so am currently driving around in my newly acquired BMW 540i which is alot cheaper to run :)

I recently have been working on big brake kits I have 4 types of big brake ktis currently available/being finalised:-

Nissan 200sx S13,S14,S14a and S15 315mm conversion
Nissan 300zx 315mm conversion
Skyline R33 GTS-T 330mm conversion and (being finalised)
Skylinw R32 GTR 330mm conversion. (being finalised)

Comments can be found here on the 200sx kits:- http://www.sxoc.co.uk/vbb/showthread.php?t=189129

I am also working on a Subaru Impreza 330mm conversion, Mistubishi Legnum 330mm conversion and slowly trying to do an Skyline R33/R34 GTS 360mm conversion (very complicated though :( )

Anyhow I think thats enough of me jabbering on for the moment.

So Hi :)

Nice one Dan :thumbsup:

Hello and welcome to CVR4, I'll be keeping a keen eye on those Big Brake kits of yours mate, i'll have a look at your links when I get home, always good to read about other people spening money on their cars.

It will be interesting to see how your kits on the Legnums go, 330mm drilled and/or slotted discs, with 6 pots at the front and 4 pots at the rear sound great to me :)

Cheers guys and thanks for the warm welcome :)

Does anyone know any legnum/galant owner near or around Herts, that would be up for helping me develop a big brake kit for you guys :)

Hi Dan,
I'm in Wembley/Harrow and often out towards that way. I just bought my Legnum VR-4 a couple of weeks ago and immediately found my standard brakes a little weak, so would love to be part of new kit..

I bet there was a disappointed sigh from all the female CVR4er's and the CVR4 widows when they read that and realised you're not the muscly Russian from Rocky IV /pan I think you've missed a trick there!

Try Pezza as a local member.

Also try a search as I know there was a recent thread about and brake kit for the pre-facelift cars, possible started by Rally205.

There you go -> 6-Pot upgrade (http://www.clubvr4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14710&highlight=brakes)

Hi Guys

Sorry I haven't checked in recently, been very busy :-(

Anyhow I have some 4 pots on the way to me so will hopfully be ready for a trial fitment :-)

Stuey, if you don't mind lending me a hand that'll be great :-)

As far as costs go I would estimate that a kit would be about £600. They will be second hand caliper though. But will come with stainless steel hoses, new brake pads, new discs (330mm) and the fitting kit :)

Is that any good?

Dan
