Brake caliper adapter

[drifto]

I'm fiiting 296mm rotors to my R32, does anyone know if someone already makes an adapter to move the caliper out about 20mm.

Email me directly if you know please at [email protected]

Need to get this sorted before Eastern Creek day.

Maybe try someone like SSS Automotive.

Im running 330mm discs, Race Brakes in Wetherill Park did my conversion, and have nothing but praise for Greg and his team, excellent quality, service and support. (... and ive been happy with what they charge)

What size wheels do you need for 330mm? I would like to keep the 16in GTR rims so I think 296 will have to do for now. How much does it change the balance of your brake bias if you go huge on the front and havn't touched the back???

20mm caliper spacers? i hope your getting new rims because theres no way youd fit them behind a 35 offset wheel even if its 18 inches in size. Either that or you'll need to have custom wheel spacers put on as well.

Either of the above solutions also means you might need to upgrade to longer wheel studs as well.

I have to run 17" wheels on the front, but dont require spacers or longer studs. Fits tightly but neatly behind my AVS wheels. I think he means 20mm on the radius.

The brake balance on my car is great, during the first few laps around the track my braking is marginally better then other cars, from GTRs to S15 etc. After 5 or 6 laps i destroy them under brakes, as my car is HP wise reasonably stock im not arriving at corners all that quick, and the brakes are better after 6 laps then at the start. This is mainly to do with the pads i run as any balance concerns come from the front pads taking longer to warm up then the rear.

I have also gone to the trouble of rebuilding master cylinder, brake booster, all 4 calipers and run braided lines front and rear. I think with another 50hp and R-compound rubber i will begin to stress my current brake setup.

Yeah my mistake.

They need to be moved about 10mm from the center.

The new rotors are also 2mm thicker. Does anyone know if standard callipers will fit this.

I think i've been given the bum steer with the whole package as i've also been told now after paying deposit for the order that it'll need to be certified (@$500).

Hence me lookn for an already certified part that someone might already make.

If the new rotors are 2mm thicker that would be 1mm towards each side of the calipers.

Should be ok, if not have your new pads shaved down 1mm each time you replace pads.

a bit offtopic - for others reading - uas or nismo.com.au have a brake adapter kit so you can use GTR rotors on GTST calipers and pads

it just allows you to move the calipers further away so you can use GTR size rotors or DBA 5000 rotors and retain the same brake calipers, lines etc

im getting UPC in melb to do some brackets, give them a ring.
