Yeh, i dont htink the piston orientation is correct...i want to ring and check with John when i get a minute.

Harrop make setups for whatever you want, they are radial moutn calipers so you can do just about whatever you want with them...thig is are they worth the $4,000-5000?

that will be a shame if the porsche ones can't be used as they are only around $1600 a set BRAND NEW! very cheap for such awesome calipers.

EDIT: just realised i'm about the 5th person to mention the price of the pork calipers. just ignore me.

And another thing you should check before buying these sorts of calipers is the availability of pads. You may find that you have to run a pad like DS3000s which are not only noisy, but quite aggressive on the rotor.

I've got ds3000's currently in 33 GTR brembo's and find that if you use them a bit on the street they quieten down alot once you get some street wear on them. Go do a few high speed stops (100-0) and then they clean themselves back up again and are there usual squeeky selves :D

Guys, I've just been having a chat to Hyper-Tech in Nunawading - they make the CSC brake kits...

If you're interested they have a special on 4 piston CSC brake kits for GTR with 355 x 32mm two piece discs for $2200.

The engineer is an ex-Harrop lead developer. I am waiting for some more info on them, so will post something up when I hear.

:)

See how the caliper doesnt have the bleed lines and recirc lines connected. I htink thats so you can use it on either the front or rear of the rotor and still ensure the smaller pitons leads and larger pistons trails.

So i still suspect you may be able to swap them around on the GT3 calipers.

If he can also do a CSC 4 pot , 343mm rotor, then id be VERY INTERESTED:)

Almost guaranteed that he can... I have some PDF flyers too (too large to attach, so I've emailed it to your work mate)...

May be cheaper too :)

Talk to Arnold at Hyper-Tech

I would like to try them out, but need some rims first...

Also, I don't see how it would make a difference if you swap the bleed lines for the calliper. All it does is to connect the L&R of the calliper to show equal pressure for the pistons??

How do you find rotor wear?  Im noticing going from the old RB74s to Comp 9s that i have noticeably more wear on the rotors after only about 1,500 road kms and 4 track days, and Comp 9s arent as racey as DS3000s:(

It's nothing flash, but once you get a bit of crap built up it seems to slow the wear rate down. I am using projct Mu 2 peice rotor's though so that could also be a factor.

    • Half anticipating the next question then: I have two magnets stuck in my oil pan. What should I do? 
    • If it's magnetic what is stopping you from using a magnet on a thin wire from fishing it out?
    • Those 2 solenoids in that assembly I mention, are the PWM solenoids for torque converter lock-up clutch & EPC (line pressure control) ~ when most folks hear of 'solenoid failure', the tendency is to think electrical failure...but fact of the matter is, especially wrt the EPC solenoid (which is moving/running all the time), you can have an electrically 'good' solenoid, that's absolutely broken/worn out mechanically inside...ie; valve plunger return spring rubbing against spring retainer plate, lowering preload pressure.. ...and the solenoid armature extension limit spring wafer with bad wear/broken off petals... ...and if there's ever been any metal flying about, damage to the valve plunger end itself... ...the stuff one never really sees, unless you go the whole 10yards trying to answer the question "why is my line pressure screwy, but TCU isn't flagging any EPC solenoid fault?"...and carefully dissect the solenoid. Worst (and most probable) scenario is when the plate spring petals break off, they get held by the magnetic flux, get mashed up by the armature into little bits, which end up in the space between the armature & shading core bore, and things get stuck or randomly jam up, and your line pressure goes flat and doesn't change...and the TCU never sees it, as it doesn't actively monitor LP... ..then it gets into insidious land, if you end up with lower than expected line pressure...lets say high clutch..and the lower pressure causes it to slip ~ when I say 'slip', think say 2000rpm on the drive plates, and 1800rpm on the driven plates, because the slip is making them under-rotate by 200rpm ; you get all the usual nasties like heat and band/clutch wear, but even if it's only 20rpm slip the same thing happens...and... you'll hardly ever pick this up driving the thing with the torque converter active as it effectively masks these sorts of slippages that are line pressure related ...(the newer TCUs can detect clutch slip rate)...just  FYI as it were...  
    • There's nothing that some paddle pop sticks and extra cable ties can't fix.
    • Hey guys, so Golebys has good prices on Bosch injectors, and also sell an adaptor to go from 1/2 length injector to standard with the Nissan 10.5mm top seal.  Does anyone know if that adaptor is to suit the 14mm or 11mm injector tops?  And re. The bottom seal, to suit my standard RB20 intake, would I be right in saying I can just slip the 14mm square section O ring over the bottom of the new injector and done? Thanks in advance guy, Cheers, Rowdy
