Topaz Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Wow, they are some nice brakes.... I got DBA4000's fitted to my car not long ago and i have to say they are much better than my old, warped brakes. They werent standard R32 GTR brakes I dint think because the were cross drilled. These look so poor compared to those AP's and Brembos Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/106715-skyline-big-brake-kits-pictured/page/2/#findComment-1976358 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSI_GTSII Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I have a set of Brembo F50's (355mm) on my R32 GTR and they are a $5000 proposition for the fronts only. Definate improvements in feel on the track however standard Brembo pads seem a little more road than track orientated.

dontfeelcold Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 What type of aluminum are AP calipers made from? Are they forged? heat treated? cast then machined or billet?

djr81 Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 What type of aluminum are AP calipers made from? Are they forged? heat treated? cast then machined or billet? They are a 2 piece caliper. So the material grade is less important than for a 1 piece as the steel through bolts are ALOT stronger & stiffer at elevated temps. Try the APRacing website.

GTS-t VSPEC Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Brian, What would you use to duct cool air to the rotors, mine seem to get hot and cause a bit of fading by the end of 3 hot laps.

GTS-t VSPEC Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I just saw that Race Brakes in Melbourne have a ducting kit, will let you know if it's suitable for use with Skylines.

benm Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Goddamn brakes are expensive!!!! Not as expensive as the repair bill if you don't stop But yes it is a very expensive area, I can see why people leave it to the last thing to mod.
