AMG Brakes R33 GTR

Hi,

I'm looking for some upgrade brakes for my R33 GTR.
Got a nice offer for some SL55AMG brakes.

Front 8 pot calipers and rear 4 pots.

Anybody here who's driving them on his skyline or have some infos about this conversion?

I found some brackets for the front calipers, but nothing for the rear ones
Brake master cylinder can be stock or should I change it?
Also thinking about which brake discs will fit under 18" and fit with the bolt circle...

Thanks

Have seen a few people doing it over in the states with Z32 and S series cars (https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151930459693296.1073741843.296402898295) but do be careful with the adapters on GTR's as the front hub design is different to the rear wheel only models. On the rears you will probably be looking at having to get a custom set of adapters made as its not a common swap.

I have no idea what the piston sizes are on those calipers, you will need to find out in order to figure out the piston area so you can have an idea of just how different both sets are to your current setup and it will dictate if you need a new master cylinder / balance adjustment. An excellent calculator for this can be found at http://brakepower.com/help_abc_27_PAC_t.htm

On the the subject of rotors you might be able to get away with the 354.6mm ones off a 350Z track model as they are direct bolt on (DBA42314S for example) or even better getting a custom set of hats made up for a two piece style rotor and then you can pretty much pick and choose your best size. It costs a bit to get a set of hats turned up but the weight difference is huge and the cost of the friction areas only is normally less than decent performance 1 piece rotors.
