selling these coz they are a bit overkill for a drift car :lol:

these are the old school GREX/greddy upgraded brakes made by alcon (before greddy started using Taiwanese calipers)

they come with mounting brackets, shims, etc and will bolt up to any silva/cefiro/laurel/skyline that uses a 12mm bolt to mount the caliper. they come with braided lines to suit a R33 (possibly r32?) and could be easily adapted to suit a silvia.

the rotors consist of custom made hats to accept a AP racing 343x32 rotor (which is practically new)

brake pads are unknown brand, but still have 10mm of meat and have 'competition use' stamped onto them.

they are freaken light and can fit under the right 17s, they are pretty grotty as they have been sitting around for a few years

chasing $3000. can deliver no worries.

err. i have seen brembos in the same 'condition' go for $1500. they are pretty much new pads, and rotors. everything else is just dirty

don't get me wrong i'm open to offers. but not lowballers.

I agree with the commander, and the 'condition' is just brake dust, assuming they've been drained, flushed with metho and stored in a dry environment they would be good still... even if they had'nt they stand a good chance. Having said that my opinion is $3k is a little high and $1800 - $2200 ( which I would pay if I was cashed up for it ) would be a good buy considering the rotors and pads are in with the deal.. my 2.2 cents ( GST incl. ) also free bump

cheers man, they have been sitting on a wreck in the shed for about 2.5 years. they worked fine driving in and out of the shed. no leaking or anything like that.

gotta remember these were originally sold with a 335mm rotor. the previous owner couldn't source new rotors to suit, so has new hats mate to suit a common AP rotor that is easy to source. that alone cost more than fly355s offer

Can you measure up the rotor again? Looking at this pic of the caliper mount, it appears as though there is a silver bush between the mount and the caliper, suggesting to me that the kit has more likely been modified to go from a 332mm rotor to a 355mm rotor. OR they were originally a 332mm kit and now run the larger 343mm rotor. Though to my eye the size of the mount suggests to me they are a 355 adaptor, and if those Regamasters are 18" then thats about all the clearance you would get with a 355mm rotor under that rim (I say that because my old Regas did not clear F40s on a 340mm rotor)

Either way they are a durable brake kit.

Hey guys,

They are definately 343mm rotors, and they are spacers under the caliper mounts. They were modded from the 332 to 343 because they guy said he couldnt source new grex rotors so he opted for AP 343mm ones.

And the Rega's are 17's, calipers cleared by 4-5mm.

CP3581-542G8 is the part number on the rotor. according to google that is a 343x32 rotor.

OR they were originally a 332mm kit and now run the larger 343mm rotor.
pretty sure this is the case.

price drop the $2500 anyways whistling.gif

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
