you should be able to fit them..

Chris's I WIN GTR has porshe 8 pot brakes fitted

What Porsche has 8pot brakes???

Also if they lug type calipers they could be a lot harder to fit then radial mount type. Also keep in mind that Boxters dont use very large rotors, so depending on the rotor you want to run it may impossiblel to fit them...just do your homework !

Ive heard that once a set of porsche brakes have been 'heat cycled' they start having issues with uneven clamping pressure as the caliper start to warp and buckle. Apparently when someone is selling off second hand porsche brakes it can mean they are rooted.

Thats what the gt3 guys say around the track.

Carrera GT

Ok, so they look to use the generic 8 pot Brembo that sees use on the Audis, AMGs, Lambos etc. In which case they are radial mount and pretty universal to bolt on to other cars

The boster calipers i have seen are all lug type, so would depend ont he rotor sze you plan to run whether a bracket could be made for them.

...woudl need research, sould work well, but lookign at what the calipers are and the rotor they use, i think the more common pgrades could be more suitable

Most calipers can be mounted to any vehicle with the right radius rotor and brackets ,we do this alot .The other thing to remember is alot of porsche calipers for sale are off race cars and if they need to be reconditioned and have pads they become very expensive this is why these guys just buy new ones.Some 6pot calipers the pads are over $600 dollars to replace and the repair kits are the same especially if you need new pistons.

exactly, the porsche 6 spot monoblock calipers warp pretty easily on the track, and they are cheap to replace about 800 a side.

Im sure the boxter brakes are a different story

Correct. We recently did the brakes on our 996 cup cars. Kits, including the pistons, were $500 per side. Makes sense to just throw the whole caliper on.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving.

      What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
