EOI - R32 GTST Brake Upgrade

[Roy]

Looking to upgrade my braking setup, so need to sell my existing setup.

Firstly, boredom and having no life other then my car is the main reason for an upgrade :Oops: they function perfectly on my car and on merit dont require replacing

So for sale will be :

- 328 x 30mm slotted 1-pce front rotors x 2. They are about 30,000kms old, have never been machined and operate perfectly, so have plenty of service left in them. Rotors have only been run with RB74 pad, which isnt overly aggressive and doesnt eat up the rotors, hence the good wear eveidnt on the rotors.

- Std Nissan 4 pot front calipers. They were fully rebuilt about 30,000kms ago by Race brakes (who supplied rotors and adaptor to mount the caliper on bigger rotos) Since the rebuild the calipers have only ever been run with AP Racing 5.1 fluid, and is regularly flushed with fresh fluid (overkill?? maybe but they have worked great when at the track so i stick with what i know)

The brake setup has been used about 8-10 times at Eastern and Wakefield, and has never given a moments problem as far as fade or consistancy, even when using R-compund rubber. Even during a little over 20 minutes of lapping Wakefield the brakes weren't even smoking, let alone fading at the end of it....and brakes have always been carefully cooled after runs at the track, hence no warping, vibration etc under brakes and agin, discs have never been machined.

Caliper will come with RB74 pads, about 50% worn, which are only the 2nd set of pads used since the upgrade, which should be an indication of how easily the car is driven day to day.

So is a bolt on proposition for an R32 GTST, pending the extent of my upgrade may be able to provide with braided lines, rebuilt master cylinder and rebuilt brake booster (all 30,000kms ago)

For the calipers/mount and rotors im asking for approx $1000.

Welcome to drive car with setup currently installed on car to see what you think

[Roy]

Any interest, is it the price or just no interest?

[WLD747]

I think its the price. maybe a bit lower any my mate may buy it of ya.

[Roy]

How much lower?

[Roy]

Happy to have the rotors x-rayed to ensure condition, may even have them heat treated if the buyer prefers

[red17]

Umm are these just standard 4 pot r32 calipers with a pair of slotted rotors?

I paid $350 for a set like this (but with standard rotors in average condition) in Sydney about 18 months ago for a mate who wanted them for his Silvia. Oh and that was with a set of near new pagid race pads.

Just thought id let you know for price comparison purposes.

Yeh std caliper with bigger rotors and the new mounting bracket.

I normally see the caliper for about $300-400, so since mine have been rebuilt so pistons stroke smoothly and freely. and come with much bigger rotors (280mm v 330mm) with more vanes, i figured $500 for the calipers, $400 for the rotors and $100 for the pads, brackets and bolts.

Just for a comparison.

Stock R32 GTST:

280mm x 30mm

Stock R32 GTR:

296mm x 32mm

R32/R33/R34 GTR V-Spec:

324mm x 30mm

The brakes should be compared to a set of R32 GTR V-Spec Items.

Obviously the V-Specs run the bigger callipers.

The Std R32 GTR uses the same callipers as the R32 GTST with a slightly different mounting position to allow for the larger rotor. This is where Roy's new calliper mount comes in to it.

So they cannot really be compared to the general run of the mill GTST brakes.

[Roy]

The R32 GTR caliper has 4 x 40.4mm pistons, so does the R32 GTST caliper. The R32 V-Spec II Brembo caliper has 44mm leading and 38mm trailing diam pistons.

The R33 and R34 GTST calipers all use the same diam pistons as the R32 caliper, whilst the Brembo brakes accross the R33 and R34 range again all use the same piston diameters as the R32 V Spec II.

So if you can get the brakes off an R34 GTST, ie 310mm with R34 calipers (similar kms as my rebuilt units) then they would represent a similar $$$ value to what im trying to sell. Even still the rotors will still be slightly smaller and not grooved, pads maybe not as good, and would need a bracket to fit them.

So thats my thoughts, if you think they are too pricey then i can respect that.

[Cubes]

Have to find a set from a 34 first.

These are available now.

[red17]

Thanks for clearing that up

[Roy]

My car needs more bling, have to sell the calipers, also rotors if anyone is interested...though it appears i may be able to reuse the rotors with the new setup

The oly pic i have of the car with the rotors is here ...if you zoom in you can see the larger slotted front rotors

Pm sent Troy....Joel - U love it
