There was someone on SAU getting front calliper extension brackets made up for Skylines. I have tried every search combination I can think of and I can’t find the thread. I have an urgent need for a couple of sets. So if anyone remembers who it was or where the thread was located please let me know.

:D cheers :P

I remember the thread where u put yourself down for a set or two, i think it was in the group buy section but i just looked through 14 pages of threads and couldnt see it. However i might be blind :D

I also would like some good quality adaptors so i can run a larger disc at the front!

Someone needs to do a group buy with a respected business with brackets and new dba slotted rotors!

If anyone wants 280mm to 324mm brackets then i was going to get a few made up. Im about to get another few brackets made for my car as im having another play with the front end.

If you 296 caliper guys want bigger rotors, id be looking at something bigger then 324...im about to try 296 caliper on a 340mm rotor.

But there are 330mm etc if 340 is too big, will know soon enough. But really depends on what you want to spend on rotors, 1 piece, 2 piece etc etc

Hi Roy, I need 3 pairs of spacers.

2 pair for 280 to 324 (Brembo sized rotor)

1 pair for 296 to 340 (what rotor is this?)

How long are we talking?

How much $?

:O cheers :P

The 340 x 32mm rotors i have are Performance Friction rotors. http://www.performancefriction.com/pages/about_pfc.htm

The problem with the 340mm sized rotor is that the pad contact area on the rotor may not be ideal. If its not then im going to just grind down my pad to suit...smaller pad may give me more bite so not all bad. Long term though once i have gone though the set of pads if its not ideal then i will change calipers and stick with the 340mm rotor. Will see how the Porsche 6 pot goes (17" wheel)

Can get the 280 to 324 in say about a fortnight, not really a problem as i have the CAD File etc and i know they are ok as they are what i use on my car. And have used the machinist before.

340mm ???....I need to get the hats made up for my 340mm rotors so at the mercy of how long that takes...its all taking longer then planned as my car still isnt resprayed (hence no swaybars yet :))

So ideally need hats made up, which i would like to be done in conjunction with trial fitting to the car (no car is delaying that from happening). Then see how it all goes, so dont think i can honestly say....

For prices...meh, i dont know. I hadnt firmed it all up as my car is still a few weeks away from needing them..but i can chase it up if ppl want some. If you knwo a machinist who you are mates with then thats always an option, as the guy i use is good, but i dont have any real relationshiop with him so i doubt i am getting the cheapest price going around :laugh:

The 296 to 340 is not urgent. One of the 280 to 324 is urgent though, 2 weeks is OK. If you want to email me the CAD drawing, I can ask our race team machinist to quote on making them asa price comparison.

:O cheers :P

You can put me down for a set of brackets to for 280 to 324, as long as they work.

I take it u use the standard gtst 4 pot and just replace the rotor and mount the caliper with the bracket?

If so im in!

Thanks guys

Nah guys I have just bought the best kit so check this out Gary and co. www.cazracing.com has just developed a Nissan 280-324mm disc and adaptor kit. The discs are gold slotted and passivated 324mm and the adaptors are from billet T6061 alloy with helicoils and hex bolts bolt on affair $710 no more to pay. This was developed for the 300zx on their forum but will fit gts-t's etc with the same disc size. All the parts are available separatley and adaptors are $220 inclusive of bolts. Good value imho. Caroline is a really nice lady and even has pads modified so you don't lose pad area. Tell her I sent you, I got mine today and can't wait to get them on the zed car.

Cheers

Thanks for that Rich, I already have DBA rotors and Hawke pads, I just need the brackets and bolts. I sent Caz off a query. If anyone else wants a set let me know and we might be able to do a Group Buy price.

:D cheers :laugh:

you guys should all buy these thingys off troy. no one i know spends more time thinking about brakes and skylines and sometimes skyline brakes. if anyone is going to get it right it's him. and being some kind of slow witted communist he will probably sell them to you at a price less than it cost him. hehe ok, maybe philanthropist was a better word choice...lol

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
