hi guys a good up grade is the csc brakes 343 mm rotors and 355 mm if you have 18 inch wheels the rotors are 32mm thick they run a porshe pad and give great braking and have 24 slot design so they look great to I run these on my r32 gtr and can sell the kits at a good price

all I have to say is that BRAKES is not spelt breaks... sorry for being so pedantic but it bugs the hell out of me.

also interested in the price on this csc brake upgrade kit.

Does the csc kit use the standard caliper or is it a full kit???

People i would try and rebuild the "BRAKES" ( Thanks aswell Richard) yourselves, as it is quite straight foword provided you have some mechanical knowledge. It will also only cost you about $100 in parts!!!!

And i'm guessing all you would need is a seal kit, time and some patience?

Roy how much did Racebrakes cost for the seal kit install again?

The Nissan prices are outrageous so give them a miss, but stick with the stockies and give them a freshen. There is a couple of threads here on the perils of spending lots on brakes and you can end up with worse than what you have, especially if you upset the balance of front, rear and master cylinder swept volumes. The GTR's do have ABS so there is some margin.

In all seriousness if you can get them let me know. They are what im looking for as they generally go for the same price as GTR Brembos or in many cases a lot cheaper.

And from what ive been told/read they are far superior. Actually ill know Thursday morning whether i have got my super dooper brake upgrade:whackit:

Not off a Porsche , but off another Supercar and they are farking big...so farking big my car will probably stop worse then it does now...but they are so farkin big ill smile every time i walk up to my car and look at them...did i mention they are farking huge:whackit: :(

...and no im not telling, they are a steal as all the ricers havent caught onto just what they are, so there is no demand meaning they are relatively cheap, so ii have been waiting forever for some to come along, and until i get soem im not sharing my secret:)

      R32GTR R200 reverting from Nismo centre to stock

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.

      Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5

      Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.

      You would need to paint your hardtop again though

      R32GTR R200 reverting from Nismo centre to stock

      By djr81 · Posted

      I have an old R32 in the shed that hasnt moved much in the last few years and probably should see the light of day. At one point I had a Nismo 1.5 centre put in the rear diff. It is a clunky nightmare POS of a thing on a good day. To make it less painful the initial torque setting has been put on the minimum (7.0kgf-m, mid is 9.5, high is 14) and the oil changed out to something more slippery. But it is still awful and ruins the vibe of the thing. So my questions are: Given I have the original parts sitting in a box somewhere would it be better to rebuild the thing again, reverting to more purity? Is there a standard kit or do you just go and replace the friction plates etc and shim it the way you like it. How much initial torque does the standard R32 rear diff have? Or does the Nismo disc kit offer a better solution - the caveat being the initial torque for both options appears to be higher than the clunky 1.5 way. There appear to be two Nismo disc kits: 3843S-RS520 for 8kgf-m. 3843S-RS521 for 12kgf-m. Or is the easiest solution to reshim the Nismo diff to make it looser?
