F50 Brembos

[writeoff]

I remember a while ago there was a thread in here regarding brake upgrades for R32 GTRs. It had a link to some F50 Brembos and another set of brakes from Nismo I think. The post said "get these (link)".

Does anyone still know what the links were? I've done a search but can't find them.

I considered the F50 kit, but thought they were over priced for performance. Ended up getting a CSC kit from www.bensonmotorsports.com

These look interesting - any further information available on CSC brakes?

[t01-100]

Gav - One of the guys that set up CSC used to work for Harrop, so similar ideas I'm sure, but for very tidy prices in compara. Steve Glenny used the four piston 350mm kit front and rear on his R33 GT-R N1 in Targa a few years ago. There is also a 380kW R33 GTR down here that runs on the track in Targa Class that has the same 350mm kit front and rear.

That was enough for me so thats what I've got coming!

Yes! Cheers Flipmo and Ronin 09.

Agree - looks the part.

Any links to CSC? Where are they made?

BMS were the only supplier I could find for CSC.

They are made out of Victoria.

For that price I would be looking for some 6 piston calipers from ap racing or brembo.

[t01-100]

INASNT - Why? Ever tried them?

I've tried CSC, Brembo, AP and Harrop. CSC were just as enduring. Wouldn't say CSC were better, but I wouldn't say AP, Brembo or Harrop were between $1500 and $3500 better!

[INASNT]

No havent tried them but i would rather lash out and go for 6 piton rather than upgrade to another 4 piston

I totally warped a set of newly bedded of DBA 5000 Slotted 330mm (which are actually 324mm!) discs on my standard 4 piston Brembos within three stages at Rallye Burnie this year... such a small disc is not highly rated in my book on a heavy car like a GTR.

[t01-100]

Fair enough, personaly I'd want monobloc calipers before I'd start stressing about a slightly longer pad and two extra small pistons when your talking 343mm/355mm rotors.

I just put on the 324mm DBA 4000's on my gts-t

But there is a bit of evidence going around that monobloc calipers arent as robust as good 2 piece calipers... if you were throwing a set away mid season then the monoblocs seem to be the go as they are rigid and light, but over many high heat cycles and mechanical loads there is a bit of evidence around that they will begin to deflect more then 2pce calipers.

There is reason to believe that the steel bolts in the bridge make for a more rigid caliper then the aluminium used in the bridge of a monobloc caliper.

As for the 6, 8 crazy 16 piston (yes Alcon make them) calipers a well designed four piston calipers will always distort less for a given piston area than an equivelant six piston caliper designed for the same rotor size and wheel clearance

[hungry6]

Are any of these radially mounted? f50 brembos or CSC, the f50 doesn't looks it from what I see.

[Roy]

F50 are radial mount, so are the CSC 4 pot and 6 pot

[t01-100]

INASNT - My old Brembo's and 324s are now an a GTSt (track - edit)car and work a treat. Very good upgrade for a GTSt... and we even made them fit under OEM GTR 16" rims!

Roy - I've read similar and considered there might be something in it, but with so many front running FIA GT, Le Mans, SCCA Sports Cars and many of cateogries using them, I figured if teams like that who seach for hundreds, not tenths of a second advantage, monobloc must be the ducks.
