my DIY porche caliber conversion

rears being done as we speak

Looks good, what steps were taken to get them to fit? What adapters etc?

Cheers

[GD51LA]

that's allot of man hours that i don't want to give away

i could sell you a kit front and rear for approximately 4k

Thanks for sharing.

I hope thats only a dummy/trial fit otherwise that is going to be close to the worst performing brake setup EVER

[admS15]

Please elaborate Roy.

First issue that i can see is the rotors don't seat well the the wheel studs

HiLol...was a rev up since he doesnt want to share any info. I am guessing he will install bleed nipples before he tries to chirp 3rds

 

Looks like Cayenne calipers on a 324-332mm rotor of sorts as it all still fits under a 17" wheel.?!?!?!?!

Probably work quite well on the smaller rotor. Problem with Cayenne calipers is they come with varying piston sizes depending what model Cayenne they are off.  You need to have the ones with the smallest pistons to have a real chance of it being a good bolt on setup otherwise without ABS it will just be locksville

I'd like to see it with at least one of the pads in.  The caliper looks like it would like to see a lot more rotor surface area.

There are adapters available now to run the brembo 17z or 18z calipers with z34 355mm rotors for Z / S / R (non gtr only) chassis cars. Also kits for gtr's (& Z/S chassis) to run AMG 8 pots with the 355mm discs

 

Great work designing your own to work with gtr's though

How does this benefit anyone if you're not willing to share any information? What's the point in even posting about it then?

Can definitely see the benefit to the community in that case

So is this a for sale thread? If not, I'll throw it into wasteland.

wheel stud hole need to be drilled to nissan stud pattern

these are the smaller cayenne calipers designed for 330mm rotors off the v6 cayenne (330mm cayenne rotors)

the pad meets perfectly with the rotor surface

anything else?

[hardsteppa]

Yes. Where did u get 4 grand from as an asking price and what advantages do you see in these over the evo brembo kits, and what master cylinder have you found a skyline to require during your testing of this prototype kit.

[GD51LA]

the larger vspec master cylinder will meet the demands just fine

the evo kit is twin piston similar to the standard gtr brakes

pad surface area is much larger

[GD51LA]

[GD51LA]

i'll do whatever it takes to make it work
love showing doubters finished product

[GD51LA]

i could have bought a kit for the time and money it took to make these work

DIY so satisfying
