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

SK,

man this search engine pi$$es me off!!

Anyway the bloke I know who is in the process of making & testing these to suit a R33 is Mark and his username is rougepi. Email addy is:[email protected]

I think I got his info from one of Roy's threads.

Cheers.

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:

Hey gary, put me down for a set of whatever you get. The ones from caz sound good, bring on the group buy :)

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

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
