2005 Sti Gold Brembo Callipers On An R32 Gtr

[im late]

Hey All,

I have a full set of 2005 STI Gold Brembo Callipers to use on my car. The rears bolt up fine but the fronts require "dog bone" mounting brackets.

I have called the authorised Brembo distributors but they did not offer any support/product.

I am wondering if anyone knows where I can buy a pair? Or do they get custom made and if they do, who does it? I have been doing the ring around and I can't find anyone to help.

Any leads/info would be greatly appreciated.

do the rears bolt up without any mods? sounds like a good upgrade

[kidd]

'cheaper' to sell the lot and get 33gtr brembos instead

can foresee lots of issues with this mod including resale

would'nt want to go through the pits with them either

[kidd]

will the stock brake lines fit?

They do bolt up to a non Vspec R32 GTR. See below link for more info:

I wouldn't get 33gtr brembo to replace this as they have a very similar piston diameter.

There will be some custom work involved (dog bones, alloy hats, brake line brackets) but it can be done.

With regards to the pits, as long as the pot count are the same as what came out from the factory (i.e. 4 pot standard then get 4 pot F50 Brembo) then it CAN be engineered.

You will be hard pressed getting a 6 pot AP Racing or Project Mu Kit engineered on a R32 GTR.........

The end fitting will screw into the caliper and the brake line IS long enough. Only a new bracket needs to be made up similar to the standard.

Please understand I am only talking about the rear calipers as I can't bolt the fronts on as they need dog bones (the whole reason I started this post)

BTW, I found out Racetune in Bayswater will happily machine custom dog bones and alloy hats with your aftermarket 2 piece rotors for the correct offset.

Replied out of concern. Almost did the same mod while back

called my brother (mechanical engineer) who told me I will find out very soon if the caliper placement screwed with the vehicles geometry.
