Front Calliper Extension Brackets

[Gts-t]

We should do a group buy see if we can get uas down 10% or something. The caliper adaptors are next on my list

yeah I would say johnny may be up for that. whoever is keen just email him and see if he's keen to do a group buy price for 10 sets or something.

SAU Club members do get 10% off at UAS

Will these work on R34 GTT?

When my front rotors run out, I'd like to do something like this.

But if the GTT Rotors are already 310mm....... ??

You would be better of selling your brakes Pete and grabbing some R33 calipers, the brackets work a little better with a bit more meat in it.

Thats said, be interesting to see how the GTT caliper stradles a 343mm rotor.

If someone is looking for these for an R32 or Z33/S14/15 then i am selling mine at the moment. I have finally manned up and grabbed some rotors and calipers that will likely rub on my rims

I am not sure that I understand what the fuss is all about with changing rotor diameters and the effect that has on the pad shape. Sure the inside and outside radius of the pad will be ever so slightly different to the inside and outside radius of the rotor. But is it such a big deal?

The first picture Roy posted shows that he could have used a 2 mm larger diameter rotor with those pads. Noting that there is not really much of a problem with the different radii.

If you are currently using a 280 mm rotor (R32GTST) then you could be using pads shaped for a 280 mm rotor or a 296 mm rotor. There are far more compounds available for R32GTR’s, hence 296 mm rotor. So if you buy GTR pads for your GTST (with its new 324 mm rotors) you are only talking about a 28 mm increase in diameter from where those pads are designed for.

Hardly a big deal, since the same pads work OK on 280 mm versus 296 mm ie; a 16 mm difference.

The next step up would be to use the R34GTT pad which, being designed for a 310 mm rotor, would just about fit perfectly on a 324 mm rotor. I haven’t actual tried R34GTT pads in an R32 (GTST or GTR) calliper. But that could be the answer, to what is not really a big deal anyway.

Cheers

Whenever I've bought pads for my GTT people tell me the R33 GTST ones are the same and that's what I've been using.

I used the Unique Autosports calliper extenders and brake scoops on the R33GTST for the recent SAU day at Wakefield with DBA 324 mm 5000 series rotors, Nismo braided hoses, Castrol Response Super Dot 4 Brake fluid and Bendix Ultimate pads. No problems locking the brakes on demand using Yokohama R tyres even after 2 consecutive 15 minutes sessions. No fade, no shudder, no problems on the day or since.

I will post up some pictures of the installation process and the finished result when I get a chance.

cheers

Sydneykid, in your post above you mentioned about providing info about fitting 324mm discs and calliper adapters to a 33gtst.

Having had a thorough search I didn't uncover any information about this.

Did you post anything up? If not is there any chance of you being able to?

Looking at the most cost effective way of increasing the braking effectiveness on my car, currently running r32 gtr brakes.

Thanks.

James.

Hi James, just before the SAU NSW track day at Wakefield Park last year I fitted some UAS calliper adpators, brake scoops and 324mm DBA 5000 series rotors to the R33GTST. I have a number of pictures and quite a few tips on fitting, but my gallery is full, so I can't post them at the moment. I either need to ask for an increase in my gallery size or find out how delete some images.

Cheers
