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.

    • Getting a decent signal from all 6 throats is a challenge. I don't know for sure, but I suspect that the stock balance tube is not ideal for it. I have done it on an ALFA 4 cylinder (about 35 years ago, so don't ask for too many details). We drilled 4x holes in the manifold runners, put in some fittings and ran hoses to a decent sized (I think it was about 20mm diameter) pipe that ran the length of the inlet manifold. So, it was quite a decent volume. There is a "tuning" balance to be found between the volume of the common plenum on such a thing and the diameter of the pipes running from it to the runners. You need the volume to be large enough to damp out the sharp spikes in pressure signal you get as each runner gets sucked on by its cylinder, but not so large that it becomes too slow to respond to actual changes in MAP. And you need the hoses to be small enough to transmit the signal quickly, but not so small that they delay the signal. You might have to have more than one go at it, if there isn't any actual success based wisdom to be had here. Hopefully there is. Anyway, I would not do it on only a couple of cylinders. I would also not care about "permanently modifying a part". Just bloody drill holes and make stuff better. There is nothing sacred about any GTR unless it is a genuine museum piece that you shouldn't be modifying at all anyway.
    • He's still joining you, he's just delayed it and won't have the fulleh sick ITBs...
    • The strange thing is this is a URAS front bumper (or clone of it). The bumper actually does not sit flush with the GTT hood - You need the addon to make the hood 'long' enough to reach the bumper. I have no idea why they didn't incorporate this piece into the bumper itself.. instead of sticking it to the hood instead.
    • Another thought on this OLD topic: When you paint your bonnet lip, leave a small unpainted back lip/line along the back of the lip, where it rests on the bumper. That way, the line in the back is much more prominent than the gaps in the front/under the lip - and it breaks the hood-to-bumper connection at the "correct" place, when comparing to a GTR. I'm gonna do this with mine this week, so stay tuned for pics!
    • So I'm in the final stages of assembling my single turbo RB30/26 and had a question regarding MAP reference points.  I've seen several recommendations such as tapping the cylinder 2/3 ITB, tapping the intake manifold at cylinder 2/3, or using a point on IAC. First two are doable but require permanently modify part and the third is "out" as I plan to delete the IAC.  All that to say my question is can I used the "bleeder" in the center of the ballance tube as a MAP Reference? I'm running a catch can so I don't need it for the PCV system. My thought process is it "pulls" from all 6 cylinder, and it's between the ITB and the cylinders making it ideal for MAP reference according to what I can find. Thoughts?
