GReddy/GRex brake system replacements

Hi All,

Needing new brake pads and possibly even brake discs for my car.

I have a set of GReddy 6 pot Calipers with 355mmx32 brakes on the front, and GRex 4 pot 330mmx26 brakes on the rear on my R34 GT-R. These are NOT the alcon branded brakes, they are the ones seen here:

Fronts: https://www.nengun.com/greddy/6pot-brake-system

Rear: https://www.nengun.com/grex/brake-system

These kits and any replacement GReddy branded replacement discs and pads etc. are no longer in production.

I am wondering anyone else that runs this brake setup has replaced their brake pads with non-GReddy parts and if so, what fits?

Also, if anyone has had to replace their discs what fits, or did you have to get them custom made?

I have searched the interwebs and have found very little information regarding these brakes. Some say they are made by Rotora in the US (at least for USDM GReddy).

Other posts have mentioned that the front disc is a copy of the 355 x 32 Brembo rotor so the Brembo is a straight fit.

Calipers may be a copy of or even made by AP Racing...

So hopefully someone out there has been through replacing these parts and knows 100% what will or won't fit.

Thanks,

Paul

They look like the same as the AP 6 pot/G4/Attkd/D2 whatever pads to me....like GTSboy said trace them and see.  

Discs look harder since they are 10 bolt (m6?) and obviously we can't guess the PCD from a pic. Measure the offset and check them against the DBA catalogue to see if anything else will fit? Very likely you will have to change the hats as well, not just the rings

I suggest talking to Matt at RaceBrakes in Wetherill Park, he will be able to work out what does or does not fit.

      Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.

      From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)

      In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird

      Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
