Evo Brembos On A R32 Gtr

[XRATED]

Anyone???

[Craved]

well they arent really that difficult to make, more the time taken to work out the alignment that makes the one offs more expensive.

i'll probably look into making the adapters once mine are finished off

Just wondering what people are paying for the machining? The actual design is quite easy to nut out.

If anyone is looking for evo brembos, they are EVERYWHERE!!! in the US. I picked up two full sets (front and rear) in florida for 700 bucks!

If your going to make some Craved I'll be interested.

Cheers

exactly what Brembos did you get? i might have a look for some,

did that include discs?

[Equinox]

What rotors are they Craved?

[Craved]

Custom 2 piece rotors - not 100% sure at this stage if the they are comparable to some other 1 piece rotors already available

I bought EVO 9 brakes.

I believe EVO 7 and 8 brakes are the same or similar.

sweet, i found some for $650, what discs are you guys gonna use, come on craved hurry up and find the one peice rotors we need

I don't know what rotors i'm going to use yet. somthing commondore i recon. easy and cheap. something with a little more inset so I can run most regular rims.

The Brembo EVOs do have massive pistons compared to anything offered for Nissans by the aftermarket. Combined with the fact that they then are being used with a larger rotor then anything Mitsu or Nissan use. You need to have something pretty serious plans for the rear and then need to allow for any difference between an EVO and a Skyline with regards to pedal ratios and master cylinder sizes. To mean not only the bias works well but the pedal doesnt end up too sensitive or too long

I have read about plenty of people wanting to do this...but few have. So will be interesting to read the results as on paper it will take a bit of work to get working well

And Zebra. the 4 pot FPVs are essentially an F50 caliper though they use larger pistons as well. They are radial mount vs the lug mount of the EVO.

As for machining, if you give people the file, then you can still expect to pay up to $400 a corner. Can get them cheaper, but depends on what you are machining as you need to consider the set up time, any programming and material cost. Its easy to see where 4-5 hours goes and hence the labour cost adds up on top of material costs

what kind of serious plans for the rear are you thinking Roy?

once they are in place i'll start looking into the M/C sizes etc for feel and feedback - though i think the gtst brakes are fairly touchy so a longer pedal should allow a bit more control.

[XRATED]

Are the rears not bolt on???

If your going to go to the truble to design custom dog bones/adapters you could make comonly available rotors work.

also r34 gtr master cylinder is the same size as the EVO. so easy to re-fitt.

[Roy]

If the master cylinder size is the same then thats a an R34 at 26.9mm then that is a good starting point. But you also need to consider the pedal ratio as that is the other variable from a hydraulics standpoint. Also need to consider that different cylinders often have different bias - proportioning springs in them and that is related to the weight bias of the car

Well the first thing that springs to mind would be something like an EVO rear as I assume that they use considerably bigger pistons then the GTR Brembos. But have never checked. The thing I dont have agood feel for is when you start to run 330mm + rears with thicknesses up over 26mm what it means regarding the pads you need to run. I guess you end up being able to run a very low temp pad as you would have huge amounts of cooling in the rear with very little bias...unless you have serisous rear aero that allows you to run more rear bias then normal.

But i think you may need to look at some Porsche rear 4 pots as they tend to run slightly larger pistons then ideal being rear engined and able to run plenty of rear bias.

You think GTSt brakes are touchy? To potter around with or when you are screaming along and jumping on them. I think its best to work on 100% braking feel, capacity and performance and how they feel when potting along is what you live with. That way when you are up it on the track etc they are working well and heaven forbid you need to brake in an emergecy situation on the road that they perform equally well.

LOL, like all things, the more you change the more variables you introdice. But imagine it will be rewarding when you understand it all what affected what and it works well!

i think the STI rears are bolt on not the EVO

are there commonly available 1 piece 355mm rotors out there?

[Roy]

From an aftermarket standpoint many make 1-pce 355mm rotors. OE there are a few like 370Z and some other later model Nissans, and FG Falcons. There are others but not with the same PCD-bolt pattern. The ford uses a bigger hub centre diam hole so dont really bolt on as such 71.8mm vs 68mm of the Nissans. Means the 370Z is probably the best bet but the offset is fairly different between them and earlier Nissans, about 5mm from memory

anyone know what the pedal radio is for R33's ?

ok so 370z discs will mount but need custom brackets,but custom brackets are needed anyway,

is the piston size the main advantage for brakes? if so is it possible to bore out and run oversized pistons in stock calipers?

[XRATED]

The 2314's look to be the go for the front end and somthing like 929's for the ass end...

Can anyone pm me what they're paying to get adapters/dogbones fabricated? I can do the design. Also what materials are people using?

Cheers

[Craved]

Mine are 2 piece welded steel dogbones - no fancy milled alloy

12mm thick plate + welded spacers to set the required offset
