Condition? Excellent as above says 2000kms 2 track days Id still like to see some pics of the actual setup without a rim so I can see what they look like.

Type of discs? Alcon as above says How thick are they? What groove pattern? How many vanes? What is the max thickness rotor the caliper can take?

Type of pads? fs2500 OK

How much life left? 72.342524362543% No need to be smart. How thick are they? What is the max thickness the caliper can take?

Dog bones and hats custom made or prefab? i custom Out of what material?

Come with lines? No OK

What brand?Alcon as above I was asking about the lines if it came with them.

All of these questions are need to know things for this calibre of hardware.

I have a spare rear pair of calipers and am genuinely considering building another setup.

im not home atm when i do get home i can give your details and extra pics

seems like your a fussy guy (no disrespect intended) i suggest you come and look at the set up yourself

so you have piece of mind

If you could get a decent pic and some of the details I was asking about man, I would really appreciate it

Its all good. But yeah, I probably am a little fussy when it comes to this sort of thing ;)

Id love to actually come check them out in person, however with work and other commitments, I am a little hard pressed for spare time.

Like I said, i have a spare pair of rears from parts I have obtained, and was thinking I may be able to build another complete setup, with the intention of possibly selling to a fellow SAUer (as a complete kit is easier to offload than just calipers lol)

Ive just seen people in the past say "V8 supercar calipers", when in actual fact they are just a street version or something completely different.

thickness of rotor is 31.91mm

i measured that the rotor can take 36mm

i counted 50 vanes

no brand on lines

but this was on the line

dot bw 1/8 seae j 1481 86/85

need any mor pics let me know

I really appreciate the pics you have taken man.

However, these are not the calipers I was expecting.

The V8 supercar caliper I know have a removable bridge piece and a quick release pad retainer.

They may be V8 supercar calipers, but if they are, they would be from a very old year make, or possibly from the NZ V8 supercars.

Sorry man, but ill have to pass on these. Thanks anyway.

^^ doing Le Mans?

Funny you say that, but I actually have a brake setup with alcon calipers front and rear from a lemans daytona prototype car lol.

Is that pic from when they were installed on car? The bleed nipples are on the wrong end of caliper. Looks like they need to be swapped over to be suitable to run on a Nissan

Can you confirm rotor part no.? At 31.9mm they are near brand new 32mm rotor or undersized 35-36mm rotor. Can you confirm caliper part no as well? They arent V8 Supercar calipers but perhaps the rotors are.

Looks like its a kit that has been pieced together using the Mono6 Alcon street caliper. But there are two versions of the Mono6. One is for a 32mm rotor the other for 35.5mm that also takes diameters up to 410mm

Doesn't change the fact they are installed wrong and should someone want to buy them they will need to quickly swap over the bleed nipples so that the pistons are orientated correctly to the rotation of the rotor. If you don't then you may experience hot spots on pads and uneven pad wear

    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.  
    • Careful with posts like that around here without the flame suit on @cobo_11! 😂😂 My 330i journal is on here too. That car was so good and super reliable. We still have a 130i in the family which is almost identical to the 330i and easier to find in manual. It has also been almost faultless over the 6 or so years in the family.  I used to want an M car a lot more than I do now but if I'm honest and without trying to sound like a wanker, I can get such good performance and handling out of my 335 without needing to worry about all the crap that goes along with M car ownership. I don't need to worry about my bearings or subframe issues or the cost of replacing brakes or suspension or whether it has been impeccably maintained. And I can leave it places and not get upset when it's always filthy.
