Something For Roy The Brake Man

[Kaido_RR]

I know you like brakes roy,

during one of my random yahoo search i came across these

Brembo from the Toyota Formula1 car

at only 280,000yen or 400,000yen buy now price seems like a great deal LOL!

[sh@un]

as dead-sexy as they are, the calipers on a Ferrari/Porsche/Lambo with CCM brakes are much bigger (as you'd expect given the wheel sizes and weights of each vehicle)

[Kaido_RR]

lol more crazyness Ap Racing brakes from the 2003 Nismo SUPERGT car

water and oil cooler :? monoblock, 380mmx32 ~ 38mm the seller said they are over 200million yen brand new only 700,000yen now ahaha!

MMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...BIG BRAKES! I saw the Toyota F1 Brembos on yahoo. A while back they had a single caliper for sale that was damaged and pretty cheap. I really thought chicks would be impressed if i had an F1 caliper on my coffee table....would make my place oh that much more testosterone filled

Well Roy, i bought these a few weeks ago while in the US, pick them up when i go back late november.

Nothing fancy, I bought them for my Sil80 track/road car. I have been using 328mm rotors but the GTS-T caliper. So i've been modding the brake pad so it sits further down to get full face contact. But obviously the pistons push over the end of the rotors, not ideal but on my car that weighs 1325kg with me in it very effective. I have had no problems with them, in fact i was chasing some 33 Brembo's for the front but these came up at an absolute steal.

Just need to make another adaptor now to suit these.

Hey can you PM the youtube link to your PI footage, i can't find it?

nascar?

you may need to modify them if using bigger than a 330mm rotor.

get pads to?

Yes Nascar. No didn't get pads, shouldn't be hard to get though in Aus.

I'm am using 328mm rotor which is why i bought them

[Risking]

all too over looked are the porka 997 cup car callipers. Even the 996 cup callipers are great besides the mounting positions making things a little complicated

For the price and availability you cant go past them, even when buying brand new.

They are some mint brakes. I often look at the 4pot Brembos that some Nasca teams run, but have to keep telling myself what i have is fine...sadly they are not cool like your setup. Curious to know the total width of the caliper and what it means for wheel/rim clearance offset wise.

LOL, my PI footage is here, my youtube name is the same as my NS username. Check out the Spa footage, way better then any PI footage in a GTSt

and there mono block too ?

[Roy]

I dont get all the fuss about Monoblock calipers. There are plenty of OE monobloc calipers that i would think are less durable then two piece calipers
