Skyline Big Brake Kits Pictured

[Topaz]

Wow, they are some nice brakes....

I got DBA4000's fitted to my car not long ago and i have to say they are much better than my old, warped brakes. They werent standard R32 GTR brakes I dint think because the were cross drilled. These look so poor compared to those AP's and Brembos

hey brian. thanks heaps for sorting out my teathing problems with my f40 brembos and your custom 355mm two piece rotors on my gtr.

still shakes a little but is bearable.

ps. im getting some k-type alcons to replace the brembos so i can sell te old set up as a complete kit.

I have a set of Brembo F50's (355mm) on my R32 GTR and they are a $5000 proposition for the fronts only.

Definate improvements in feel on the track however standard Brembo pads seem a little more road than track orientated.

What type of aluminum are AP calipers made from? Are they forged? heat treated? cast then machined or billet?

They are a 2 piece caliper. So the material grade is less important than for a 1 piece as the steel through bolts are ALOT stronger & stiffer at elevated temps.

Brian, What would you use to duct cool air to the rotors, mine seem to get hot and cause a bit of fading by the end of 3 hot laps.

Good question, i'm interested in ducting as well..... and what people have done.

I just saw that Race Brakes in Melbourne have a ducting kit, will let you know if it's suitable for use with Skylines.

Let me, let me, let me! Ferni long weekend means you should come round and we get some hardcore ducts rigged up for you

Not as expensive as the repair bill if you don't stop

But yes it is a very expensive area, I can see why people leave it to the last thing to mod.
