Ok would like to know if anyone in the forum has any knowledge on 2 piece brake rotor from any maker that fits a R32 GTR. I only need the rotors as i will use the standard calipers which i will have a bracket milled to fit.

Update i have found a company who make the 2 piece rotors for the R32,33,34 GTR skylines.

Why dont you have a look at their web site and let me know what you think. There is even a forum section on this subject with very quick replies to the questions i have asked so far.

regards

There are plenty of places that will do this for you.

In Melb call RacePace in Bayswater, Ben works on all sorts of Skylines and races R33 GTR.

If you go 355 mm disc you will be very locky to get it to fit in a 17' rim, only 1 or 2 types of rims will clear these, better to go to 18".

tacker, how much will the rotor cost?

I've got a set of second hand F50 Brembo calipers with ?pagid pads and 355 mm rotors. Basically everything you need to bolt it into a nissan minus the mounting bracket. If you want them let me know.

the std GTR32 caliper will have too much curvature at the outer edge to fit a 355mm rotor...

plus it is very unlikely that even the slimmest caliper with a 355 will fit under a general 17"... something like a Volk TE37 has more space though

Not sure either thats why i am looking at every option.

I have 18" wheels so that wont be a problem i hope

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
