R32 Gtr Brake Ducts


Recommended Posts

My mates GTR had front brake ducts that ran from the holes in the bottom lip back to the wheel well, and they attached to the plastic wheel well liner. My car doesnt have them, but he thought they were standard. I couldnt see them in the workshop manual - are they standard? If not, where can i get them from?

Now that i know they're standard (thanks everyone) i'll be trying wreckers first, and if i cant find any there, Nissan.

Maybe try nissan first, they might be cheaper than you expect

.....maybe

i remember asking this question a few years ago... standard, and bloody expensive for new ones!

wreckers don't have them as they're usually destroyed the first time racer boy parks up against a kerb unfortunately.

Keen on an alloy version as a group buy maybe?

Somewhat off topic, but does anyone know where you may be able to get some extra ducting to connect Nissan's ducts to the wheel hub/brake rotor?

Billion sells that, nengun has the complete range listed

muhahaha, I have a nice mint condition set sitting here. :D

sadly most 32s have them missing. but they are definitely worthwhile. I would say better than alloy steve. alloy is rigid. these can bend and flex which is good, and if they come off or break the alloy ones won't do any favours to your tyres or other bits, the factory ones are nice soft plastic/rubber. good gear if you can find them as they perfectly attach to the two ducts in the front lip. :(

Yeah i agree they're better if they break, but for the design id pay $100 for both as they dont wrap around far enough IMO

Ill be getting a price on a few different styles, one of which will end with a circular ending so ducting can be attached easily :D

Well it looks like they're not, $189 each - thats right, EACH!!!!!

Egad! That's nasty.

Yep - I'm in for a group buy 100%. Otherwise i'll just get some gal iron and tinsnips. It doesnt need to be too pretty down there.

BTW - John from Unique Autos "We are in final stage of big Nismo style brake air deflectors" for R32 GTRs (the gtst ones have been available for ages) - expects to have something ready in about a month. Maybe a perfect compliment for these. Easier that trying to fit ducting around the wheel.

But are they for sale? I've got first dibs 'cause its my thread...back off bitches

Shouldnt be a problem, just dont use anything too thick so they can crumple/flex if required.

BTW are they U shaped - ie they dont have a top, which is instead supplied by the wheel guard?

If you want the best way. Get some std ones and copy them in thin fibreglass. Won't damage your car when they fall off, will flex a little before breaking and cheap to make. Say $10 pair and 30 min work

I have some here. Might have a go at copies. As Beer baron said they are hard to get in GC.

Also made some castor rod deflectors out of cardboard as a mould and then fibreglassed over them. They work awesome and were a arvo's work. Cheap too.
