They are used rotors off a race car. I purchased two sets as I wanted to have a spare set should I have problems with any rotor/s. But looking at the meat on them and the condition I think I was being a tad paranoid and the spare set would only sit in storage for an eternity.

The front set of rotors have done a practice session, about 20-30 laps of Phillip Island and the rears have done a drive day for sponsors at Eastern Creek. So perhaps 20 laps???

The front rotors are Brembo and the rear rotors are Performance Friction. Both sets are slotted. See

http://www.performancefriction.com/pages/about_pfc.htm

Depending on the caliper and wheel combination you run, the fronts will readily fit within an 18" rim. I will most likely hold onto my other set and run the 340s on front until I can afford some nice 18" rims to accommodate the 375mm fronts.

Will post pics up over the weekend.

Asking $450 for the fronts and $400 for the rears.

Can source custom hats but would rather not have to.

Std R32 GTR has 296mm rotor.

You may be able to run the 340mm rotor on your front with a caliper adaptor. Will fit inside most 17” wheels. Im hoping to get my hands on some Porsche brakes in the next week or so, if not then I will be trying some R32 GTR callipers with the 340mm rotors in a few weeks time…as the 375mm rotors will require 18s, and I don’t want to run my current 18s on the track as they are too heavy.

To fit to an R32 GTR you will need at a minimum hats and brackets for your callipers. Best to also run aftermarket callipers, be it AP, Brembo etc etc.

Hey Roy, my R32GTR has 18x9.5 inch rims and allready has a R33 GTR Disk/Caliper Brembo upgrade. In your opinion what would i need in order to run those big bad 375mm biatches...

Id just be worried wether i could adapt a bracket to push the 4pot Brembos far enough out to house those mother disks...

Where are you???

Cheers...

Me and the rotors are in Vic. The R33 Brembo calipers use a 30mm thick rotor. These are 35.5mm thick so forgetting the diameter issue, they are too thick for the std caliper.

Depending on what the internal diameter of your 18" rim is then CP5555 AP 6 pot calipers are a good chance of fitting inside the rim. I understand Giant in Bris runs the same sized rotor with AP CP5555 with R34 GTR rims on his R32 GTR.

But yeh will need new calipers...

I shoud be able to verify if a CP5555 can fit under a std R34GTR with the 375s if brisy wants.... can dummy them up.

I have a feeling that stock R34 wheels won't be able to fit them - you'll need something like a TE37 with larger clearance in an 18 to fit them

PS that is cheap as for the rotors... 36mm thick AP rotors retail for in excess of $600ea!

R34 GTR in Vic is running the same rotors with AP CP555 calipers (about $1200 each) and they fit inside TE37s, LM GT4s, CE28Ns but just a tad too big for the std R34 GTR wheels...perhaps Giant in Brissie is mistaken on his rotor size or milled a bit of the caliper to clear...not something i would recommendation.

Other models of AP calipers saddle the rotor better and will fit inside R34 GTR rims, just as Harrops and Alcons etc

how much $$$ are we looking at to get hats made for these rotors you are selling to suit a GTR and How much $ can you get hats for Alcon rotors (343mm x 32mm) made for to suit a GTR, using any off set to fit.

Thanks.

For between $350-450 i can get hats made for either set of the above rotors. Once you have rotors/hats you can give them a light machining to clean up the face of the rotor.

PWR in Brissie do all the gear for Alcon, and they are one of the people i was going to approach for hats, they are more expensive as they are anodised etc etc. and they are in another state...plus a friend has found a good local machinist for hats in Vic

Also, if you want hats for the 375s then i can get PWR/Alcon hats for them at a good price, the only reason i didnt get them is that the hats whilst being the right PCD use a non std Nissan offset. This could or could not be a problem, but the hats that were on these rotors allowed for the ridcilously wide endurance style calipers... so may or may not work

For the front, don't you also need caliper offset brackets for AP CP5555 calipers to fit on a GTR with those 375mm rotors and the alloy hats you can get?

When fitting the rear disk - the 340mm, can standard brembo's with say caliper offset brackets be used to allow for these disks?

Basically for a GTR R33 once you have:

Front

AP CP5555

your disk's 375mm

alloy hats (@$350-450)

Caliper offset bracket?

brake lines?

Rear

Standard Brembo Calipers

your disk's 340mm

alloy hats (@$350-450)

Caliper offset bracket?

brake lines?

do you need anything to complete the setup, re: my question of caliper offsets and maybe brake lines?

Yep , depending on what caliper you run you will also need mounting brackets. Calipers are all so different so you will have to get the bracket made based on the caliper you chose to run.

The rears would be a no go, also the handbrake would need to be modified to run these on the rear...If you supply the calipers, the hats and brackets can be made up to suit. Supply me one caliper and can get a firm price for it to be done.

If your after an economical rear rotor upgrade as well then i know someone that will be able to do a cost effective rotor upgrade that allows the original handbrake assembly to be retained.

  • 2 months later...
  • 2 months later...

Anyone that wants the 340mm rotors then i will take $200 for the pair.

Need them out of the house as i dont have enough space for all the car parts. I still want to run these rotors, only wont be happening until i get the gearbox, engine etc sorted. So not going to hold onto stuff for another 6 months when im likely to be OS

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
