Hi guys,

Selling my brake set-up.

I bought this kit for about $2800, it included a set of R34 GTR calipers (front and rear) off a very low km R34. They were sold still on the original rotors. from memory car had done 25,000kms. the owner upgraded to a full track spec kit front and rear and I bought the old gear. The rotors were worn out but calipers very good.

Not many people know but the R34 brembos are not a direct fit to a 32 or 33 as the bolts and bolt wholes are different (r32 is 12X1.25 and 34 is 14mm). You can drill out your hubs but this is not really reversible. So instead I had proper stainless steel threaded inserts professionally fitted to the caliper lugs which will be stronger than the original thread (just cut into the alloy). this cost around $200.

With this mod they will now bolt straight on to R32 GTR and GTST, R33 GTST or GTR, S13 silvia, S14 Silvia, S15 Silvia and most nissans.

I then bought brand new front and rear rotors which are slotted curved vane rotors (over $1000).

I also bought a set of brand new Project Mu Titan HC+ brake pads around $800 from memory.

I also bought a set of titanium pad shims which help stop heat transfer into the calipers (they are wanky as hell and cost about $160)

That's over $4,000 total I spent on this set-up.

I also have all the caliper pins, all the shims and backing plates, the original pads and the brake lines too (for all 4 calipers).

The callipers are in perfect condition seal wise but there are a few paint chips (happened when the bloke who sold them to me did not pack them properly and they hit each other in transit).

Asking price is $3,300 for the whole lot. so that's front and rear R34 GTR brembo callipers (modified to bolt straight on to R32), brand new front and rear slotted rotors, brand new project Mu pads front and rear, brake lines and all small parts, brand new titanium pad backing plates, and I'll through in a bottle of Motul RBF 600 fluid too.

No where can you get a brake upgrade like this for anywhere near this money. plus usually you get crap second hand rotors that are shagged (i certainly did when I first bought it) and shagged rubbish pads too.

This way you get a nice balanced front and rear upgrade for not much more than doing a full set of rotors and pads and caliper seals on your current stock brakes.

Pick-up from me in sydney CBD. contact via pm or email through the forum.

not really relivent, but i stole the mos burger drink coasters from the mos burger in shinjuku

so free bump i suppose (wish i could afford them)

Soo cheap!

I bought a set of 350z brembo calipers and 2 pairs of DBA rotors and Endless pads for my upgrade and it all adds up pretty quickly. Pretty much up to the same $$$ as what you're asking and they aren't even a straight bolt on affair, nor are the pads and rotors brand new :thumbsup:

If I hadn't already bought all of this I would definitely be buying this kit!!

Good luck with the sale

Hi Julz,

yes they can very easily be used on a GTT. what you do is leave the callipers as they are since the new steel inserts are a much stronger mounting option than thread cut straight into the alloy, and in this guise they are 'bolt on' to a wider range of cars (good if you re-sell in future). then you buy some M12 bolts for the front callipers and there are spacers that go into your hub to reduce the hole from 14mm to 12mm. it's a very simple piece, I could supply them for probably $20 if needed. it's basically just a washer that is about 6mm thick with a 12mm ID and a 14mm OD. it sits snugly in there and allows you just bolt these up without modding the hubs or the callipers. :(

forgot to add one item, I have a full set of calliper rebuild kit for the front callipers and *may* have a rear kit too. It's the genuine nissan kit which includes new piston seals, circlips and dust boots.

I had bought it before I got the callipers just in case but when they are arrived all where in excellent condition so I never did it, but the new buyer can have it and choose to refresh them or not. then you will have brand new project mu pads, brand new slotted rotors and brand new callipers, with titanium backing plates :D

what brand are the rotors?

Did PM you but you may of been unimpressed with my proposed deal !!!

Fair enough, as i always believe one must inform any seller of a intent to buy, so as

they can have something to consider rather than nothing on the table !!!

Will be ordering some K-Sport 6spot calipers and matching rotors on tuesday, just so you have

the heads up !! If were interested in the 3k offer, then at least i have communicated my intent .

Cheers Mike PS. best to SMS me as away from computor for next 2 days...thats if you intending contact !! 0437123233

That's not a fair comment at all, NISSAN_GTR. Did you even read the 'stats' under his avatar (or his posts)?*

*( Just in case you missed them: Administrator, SAU Donator, Moderator, NSW Club Member, over 20,000 posts, oh and a Trader Rating of 150! :) )

:whistling:

sorry bad timing on my part. moved house, vacated house and went on 6 week holiday with zero time in between. back in sydney now and just getting settled into new place. internet FINALLY connected today and phone only just connected yesterday. all poor excuses but I just literally didn't have time to get over to where the brakes are and get some basic photos before I went away. every day and night was flat out.

now i'm back I will update as soon as possible. :(

    • Also had a look at the Nissan JP website looks like the 400r has a slightly shorter ratio than than the regular V37 3.133 VS 2.937 which from a guy who has driven both 3.69 vs 4.11 ratios in the S15 is bugger all. Seems that the AUTO Z runs the same ratio as the 400R but can't find any info as to if its an open or LSD? More often than not the auto LSD is open
    • Do not replace the power steering lines with this stuff. If it's anything like the Chase Bays stuff it will leak and be worse than stock. The reason why the reservoir is on the LH/passenger side of the car is because that's just where the reservoir was most convenient to fit. Don't overthink this stuff. The intake/cold side of the engine is pretty busy on these cars. And again, the hardpipe is designed to be a janky power steering cooler. In theory you can replace it with a real power steering cooler but that's really only for track use where boiling the fluid is a distinct possibility. Start with the low pressure lines feeding the pump from the reservoir. Make sure there isn't a bunch of junk in the reservoir filter. Be careful to not get ATF all over the engine bay. I hate dealing with ATF spills, you can clean it up and the slightest crevice will still release more oil that can still drip over time. You also want to inspect for leaks before you make a mess and can't tell what happened. Most likely you have a leak somewhere that is allowing fluid out and air in. Failing that it's allowing air in but not fluid out. Only place I can really see that happening is on the low pressure side because the pump will pull a slight vacuum to draw fluid in. Everything after the pump is high pressure or lower pressure, approaching atmospheric by the time it returns to the reservoir.
    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
