Hi guys,

I bought these back when the group deal for the big brake upgrade was on, these are still new in the box, they are the 356mm disk with the 8pot piston caliper for the front of the car. They come with the dog bone for the R32/33 GT-R.

You need to run minimum 18 inch wheels.

PRICE: $1800 ONO. Buyer pays for postage. Brakes are in Padstow NSW.

Hi guys,

They also fit 17" wheels with bigger clearance like TE37's etc

Which part requires clearance when used with 17" wheels? Is it the rotor or the caliper? If these can fit my car, I am very interested. Can you do a bodged up number test for me, put the caliper over the rotor and see how far the caliper sits from the rotor. ie the part that will have clearance issues. So essentially to the external most diameter of the caliper on the wheel and to the spokes of a rim. Just rough. I am at Parramatta and can pickup.

What wheels do you have?

The smallest wheels I have are TE37 17x9 +0 and the caliper sits a bit over 10mm from the inside of the wheel (the spokes have plenty of clearance).

Inter Milano 17" wheels. I've uploaded a couple pictures of my fitment with the standard brakes.

Just by looking at the photo's I can tell you they won't fit. The caliper won't clear the inner diameter. As mentioned previously, a big clearance, forged race rim like TE37, LMGT4 in 17" will clear.

edit:

This is a photo of mine.

    • The trigger kit I have is similar to the one in the link below. While going through Facebook, I saw someone else mention a similar issue, and I’m starting to think this could be related to the crank gear itself. I understand these parts are CNC machined, but maybe some earlier versions or individual pieces might have slight inconsistencies—it just doesn’t look right in my case. https://www.facebook.com/share/16an8evZd9/?mibextid=wwXIfr I originally installed the crank gear using the thin OEM washer, but as shown in the attached photo, the timing belt walks very close to the edge. When I tried using a Nitto washer—which is thicker—it actually made the issue worse. The belt walks about 1mm off the front edge, which raises more concern about alignment.   I’ve gone through the full process of elimination:   The tensioner pulley and bolt are brand new and installed correctly. The bolt isn’t bent and is oriented properly. The back of the tensioner and the idler pulley are clean and seated correctly. The idler sits slightly more forward, which I understand is due to its design. I’ve experimented with both tight and loose belt tension, but it makes no difference. As soon as the engine runs, the belt immediately walks forward again—even if I reset it beforehand.     At this point, I’m considering replacing the crank gear with your Race Version 1 (12-tooth), but before purchasing, I wanted to ask:   Are you aware of any alignment issues when using this gear? Would this gear help keep the belt aligned correctly, or could the walking still occur? Does it work with a standard missing-tooth crank and rear washer? Is there any specific crank setup or install procedure required?     For reference, I’m not using a front washer, as the PRP crank gear seems to replace the need for one.   Looking forward to your advice.
    • Yep, looks that way. Never driven an E30 or R31 so I can only imagine  
    • Yuh, My new R34 box is sitting on the workshop floor (in its large shipping box, which is a nice thing on its own), along with a front plate to convert to push clutch. There was no way I was interested in rebuilding my existing one. Was only partly interested in the risk of buying a used one. But, if you want a 2nd hander, I can point you to one in/near Melbourne at least. @Komdotkom has one that should be in good enough condition to be usable. I don't think it's in a for sale thread, you'd have to message him. @redzedhas one that definitely needs a rebuild.
    • I used to love going to Amaroo to watch the HQ series go for broke (eventually stopped due to lack of spare parts) and also the Porsche series.  It was so cool to back your car up to nearly the edge of the viewing barrier and party with your friends, having a bbq and alcoholic/non drinks. It was such a family/mates atmosphere
