Hi,

i recently purchases an AP Racing Brake Kit for my ECR33 :):D

The kit comes with front and rear calipers and discs, braided brake lines and brake pads. what i am wondering is if it would be in my best interested to upgrade my brake master cylinder when i go to install the kit? I know AP Racing make brake master cylinder but im not sure if there is one for the R33, or the other option is using an r33 gtr brake master cylinder?

Also i was looking on the net for some information about the kit i bought but was unable to find anything :laugh: is there a website which lists all the different kits they have for sale? (i check the ap racing webpage but it wasnt much help :))

ohh i believe the code for the calipers or the kits is :AP5200

thanks Michael :)

Well the answer to your question (& you probably won't like it) is to talk to the people who sold you the kit. On the assumption it was Racebrakes or similar they should be able to help you out quite quickly.

There is very little good info on the net with regard to matching up brakes/master cylinders.

The CP5200 is a 4 piston caliper with 49.5cm2 of piston area. What rotor are you running it on. Also, what have you got at the rear?

Fluid? I use Motul RBF600. 600 degree dot 4 fluid. About $28 for 500ml. Probably best to buy two bottles.

thanks for the reply :O i've bought the kit from japan, so its hard to get information out of the buyer lol :D

i'm pretty sure the front rotors are 323 slotted ap racing. the rear is 2pot ap racing calipers and ap racing rotors.

is there a place in perth, i can take it so someone can tell me what they are? as they come with pads but im abit unsure what brand they are

Well my guess would be they are probably the 332mm rotors, either 28mm or 32mm thick.

Probably Perth Brake Parts is as good a place as any. If the brake pads aren't new I would be replacing them anyway. If they are new it will be pretty easy to identify them. Have a look at the AP racing site for the pads that suit the caliper you have. There is a whole list for the CP5200's.

Did the kit come with adaptors? Also what about braided lines?

thanks again for your reply djr81 :D The kit comes with everything need to bolt up to an ecr33 inc adaptors, ap racing braided brake lines, pads etc. i think the pads are called zero max

    • Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting    
    • The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.
    • Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.
    • Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.
    • yeaaa that's why I haven't done any wiring to the stock ecu harness because I have the haltech, but then that leads me to the other question of "is the pnp harness really plug and play?" or would I have to still switch some pins/wires over because the pnp is for the rb25det neo harness, and not for the rb20de neo harness. was really hoping to find something to spoon feed me since so many people have done rb20neo + t conversions, but man this is rough.
