Gtr With Mercedes-benz Amg 8-piston Monoblock Brembos + Amg 4 Piston Brembos

[Owgasm]

Hey,

Just abit about what i've done.

Sold my R34 GT-R Brakes a while ago and fitted a complete brake set from a Mercedes-Benz AMG.

I got 8-Piston Monoblock Brembos and 4-Piston Brembos from it.

Also 365mm Rotors for the front and 355mm Rotors for the rear.

Brackets were custom made and designed to fit as the Merc brackets weren't suitable.

At first the 18's wouldn't fit, but managed to get them over now with a bit of room to spare. I think it looks better than if i had 19's on as the brakes fill the rims nicely.

What do you all think?

*No Sour Lemons please. Pm me for that stuff.*

Pics while fitting:

Then recent photos with current 18s.

Enjoy

That's some hardcore brake pr0n - nice one.

Why did you choose this setup over one of the high end bolt on kits? A bit of adventure?

[Ronin 09]

i like. excellent to try smething differnt.

questions

1. $ front, rear, and custom brackets (PM me if you want)

2. bolt pattern the same?

3. rotor thickness front and rear

4. master cylinder changes?

5. what's with the valves on the black wheels being truck valves that face inward? lol

[GTS4WD]

sex!

Its awesome seeing something diff!

[Mr. Keets]

You should be able to get a few noobs going with that one.." yeah it's a special spec. Euro V-Spec...spec" lol. Any ideas on pad availability and cost?

[Scooby]

nice.

as coincidence would have it i just spent last week on the phone trying to track down a set of these to do precisely what you've done. nothing available, even o/s. you must have better search skills.

Thanks all for the comments.

MrKotter:

Chose this setup cause it was something different, thats why i didn't re-paint them and change the look. I wanted to show where they came from .

High end kits? I prefer these, i know the quality must be superb, real brembos and from the weight of mercs, i know they should stop any car with ease + they are 8-piston and 4-pistons anyway.

Ronin_09:

The bolt patterns were/are the same. Didn't need to modify the rotors.

Not sure how thick the rotors are but will measure when i get the chance.

Mastercylinder didn't need changing.

LOL. The valves, don't ask. Nothing wrong with inward facing valves

Mr Keets:

Yeah. n00bs - wtf is that? Must be a E(uro)-Spec.

Scooby:

Keep trying, they will turn up. Try getting the rotors as well.

or go ebay like FunkyMunky.

FunkyMunky:

No rotors there.

Cheers to all!

[N1GTR]

Awesome

Good to see someone being different. Can i ask how much that set you back (roughly)? PM if prefer, cheers

Noooooooooooo! I just bought a Brembo F50 front kit on Jap Yahoo.

Simon I agree, keep them the way they are; if it's good enough for AMG it's good enough for the GTR. Can I ask how you went adapting the handbrake? Not sure of the AMG offset but the Falcon GT-P and Viper SRT10 rear 355mm disc offsets are similar to the GTR if you need discs down the track.

The handbrake had no problems whatsoever. Remove and re-attach as if you were replacing.

Are the Brembo F50 kits any good?

That's amazing. I got hold of a new F6/R4 Brembo BA FPV GT-P set up and while the front was going to be relatively simple the rear disc offset was a lot different. In the end I decided I'll onsell them at some stage. Nice brakes though. I got quoted $1000 per end to have caliper brackets made up for the big Brembos, that was part of the reason for deciding to move them on.

The F50s are OK I guess, biggest 4 pot I'm aware of and run a 355mm disc. They are on the BA GT-Ps also. The thing was the kit comes with two peice hats and Brembo brackets, so it's a drop-in fit.

Owgasm

how far do u have to push the brake peddal befoe it goes hard ?

Before the brakes lock up/are in motion or like as far i can push until i can't anymore?

master cyl wasn't changed.

$1000 per end . Geez.

I see why you sold them.

The kit is all round or just fronts?

[Morgs]

Impressive, how does it pull up?

[Owgasm]

Thanks,

So far so good, need to run them in evenly first.

[unarmed_skyline]

the whole enchilada front and rear.

the AMGs i've seen aren't radial mount, any chance of a pic of the bracket?

[Ronin 09]

sorry to ask a stupid question.. but are the rotors back to front?

don't you want the curves of the vanes facing backward, rotationally, rather than forward?

You got me all worried. Got me thinking hard. Looking at the picture.

The right rotor is rolling ->> that way. therefore the vents are facing / . I think thats what i've placed it as.

Hard to explain. But i think its correctly done already. Else its just a very late night already.
