Hi

I would like to know if the Brake discs and brakets used on the unique autosports brake kit that uses

porsche gt3 6 pot caliper are available for sale separately.

I would also like to know what would be the maximum disc size that can be used with the standard R34 GTR

wheels, and I read in the forums that usually these calipers are fitted on the GTR the wrong way, is it possible to fit them the right way on not?

You can fit them the correct way. I think if you speak to UAS they mod the caliper accordingly.

Generally the biggest rotor you can fit is around the 365. Some Rays rims and different types of calipers (say TE37 and Harrops allow you to run 381mm etc)

But with the Porxhe 6 pot i think you will find the 365 is about it. But again check with UAS as i believe he did a drift day at Oran Park with his Zed when running the Porsche brakes and he used R34 GTR rims on the Sled.

Don't forget it is a function of a few things:

- how the caliper fits over the rotor; ie. how tight over the rotor it sits and protrudes up;

- the wheel and space itself; a 18" RAYS TE377 has more room under it that a 18" GTR factory wheel, so you may be able to get a 375 under it but not under a GTR wheel...

I have factory R34GTR wheels running a 355mm with AP CP5555s.

yeah well i run a 296mm rotor under a 17inch rim and suddenly i feel masively inadequate in this crowd... :P

*hides.

brisby, make me a 330mm(or whatever) front kit pls.

hahaha, you make good points Troy. we have bothed picked over brisbys prized possesions. still at least I'm good looking. that's got to be worth something. :laugh:

I've rang UAS earlier in the year, and they said that they will sell the brackets, but they need the car to get them made. They do put them on the right way round (john's 300zx has them on the right way)

I got a set of these calipers without brackets, I ended up getting them made up loccaly to suit FPV GT rotors (355x32 DBA 5000), I should be getting them back soon.

Hopefully i'll have mine fitted in the next 2-3 weeks, I miss driving my car :laugh:

Dosn't the R32 - R34 all use the same design hub?

I Have 355mm Brembo dics and Calipers behind 34GTR wheels.

Not sure how well you can see in the pics but theres plenty of room for another 10mm of disc, caliper clearance would be the main concern. :ninja:

Looking good PSI!!

Thanks Mate :O

To early to tell as to there performance as yet...but definately look horn!

Although did choose the Black calipers (rather than Red or Gold) to keep the wank factor to a minimum :laugh:

BTW, is this the kit here?

If so it mentions it has the Caliper adaptors, and is shown behind a 34GTR rim

The CSC kit I have will not fit 365mm rotors under R34 GTR rims. I run 355mm rotors also. You just hit the inside of the rim with the caliper on 365mm rotors. These are AP5555 copies so if the genuine AP caliper is slightly shallower they may squeeze in (??Giant - you there??).

Just had a closer look at mine and yes there is only about 2-3mm gap at best between the caliper and the rim, the CSC calipers on Andrews looks even closer again, so not enough to accomadate the 5mm extra required to fit the 365mm rotors I suspect.

BBGTR, how much did your csc setup cost you and whered you buy it from, and do you have fronts and rears or fronts only?

Can someone please post pics of these AP5555 caliper setups?

And what exactly is an AP5555 caliper? is it a top shelf AP 6pot or what?

http://apracing.com/roadcar/caliper/data.asp?family=CP5555

Those are the CP5555's

CSC's are available through Benson Motorsports in Tassie, [email protected]. Also try NVU, who also stock them in Victoria.

Hi,

I have 355*32 6 piston fronts and 343*28 2 piston rears - when you throw on braided lines and decent race pads it's a $6k proposition. It's a lot of coin but I prefer to have shmicko brakes and suspension rather than a million horespower. I bought these from Hyper-Tech here in Melbourne. They can be contacted on (03) 9873-0133.

The AP's are exactly the same apart from the bridge design. The AP's have 2 bolts that rest on top of the pads where the CSC's have a 4 bolt plate.

Regards

Andrew

    • Latest round of updates on the car. I purchased and installed a SWS clutch slipper to help with 60ft times and got some second-hand good condition 275/40R17 Hoosier DR2 radials. Test and tune in November showed the tyres were an upgrade over my over 15 year old mickey Thompson's and I got a 1.8 second 60ft and pb et of 11.71 but even then, that run wasn't great due to rain and driver error (the event got called off 10 minutes later fast forward to the weekend just gone 25th of Jan and there was finally a break in the weather to let racing happen. The first run the track was slippery and only managed a 12.1@129 Second run the track was better and got a new pb et and mph: 11.54@131   Lith and I then worked out that I installed the previously mentioned clutch slipper incorrectly and its never been working, and I had just been dumping the clutch the entire time, we also noticed it was on street boost and not race boost. So I lined up for a third run with the car turned up in the first two gears, but the passengers side axle objected to clutch dumps and left the chat which stopped my weekend.   so there will be another attempt in the future once I replace the tyres as they rubbed and are stuffed now. but a low 11 should be on the cards.
    • Ceramic coating and heat shielding, you mean?
    • Turbos don't require pulling the motor apart so that's "easier". I would recommend the Nismo R3 turbos instead if you want to do stock twin turbo. It doesn't make as much power as the 2530s but it's only like ~50 whp off the mark and should have better response (ball bearing CHRA, slightly smaller turbo). A local that went with a Garrett G30 and 6boost manifold recently nearly burned his car to the ground after the hood insulator started melting and and burning so if you go single turbo I recommend doing a lot of research and validation work to make sure you don't do the same.
    • New rear lights, filler panel sprayed, cleaned and back together    before, during, after shots 😍
    • 100% is gyprock, I agree. Slip of the keyboard. Haha! I left my indicator bulbs out to save a bit of weight.
