For sale: Brand New Brembo Brakes and Discs to suit.

Item Condition: Brand New Never Used, Discs are second hand and with no measurable wear.

Price and price conditions: $2200 PRICE DROP $2000

Extra Info: The Disc's are Ap Monster Bell Discs, They measure up at 315mmx 28mm. They will need hats to suit your application. The brembo's are brand new never used with semi-metalic pads. The pads along cost me $450 and the Discs came in at $500. The Brembo's come new at $3200 for a pair. You do the maths!

These are the biggest brakes you can fit under 17 Inch Wheels! :shock:

Re-check your claims please.

STANDARD R33 GTR rotors and STANDARD GTR Brembo's are 324mm x 30mm and easily fit in 95% of 17" rims.

I have seen 345mm rotors fit inside 17" rims, but rim choice is very limited.

True,

I've seen bigger too, i know these callipers take upto 330mm that said these just fit under my 17" Simmons.

Different callipers have different dimensions, these callipers have approx, 25-30 mm from disc edge to edge of calliper which limits the disc size. Wilwood for example make callipers which have a 7mm from disc egde. And you can use huge discs with them.

Have a closer look at the pics, exspecially the pics with the calliper on the disc. Notice the distance off the disc the calliper sits at. This is what i'm talking about.

Braking power refers to the combination of the combined size of the calliper 'pots', the radius at which they act at, effective capacity of the disc to disperse heat and the compound of the disc and pads, and a couple more factors such as pedal ratio, booster size etc etc. Not just disc size which is a common misconception.

When stating "Bigest brakes you can use on a 17" wheel" the combination of the above factors are what i was refering too, perhaps i should have been clearer.

The discs on this setup are used to their maximum potential, the full cross area of the pad is utilized with little or close to no wasted disc, Lower rotational mass etc. Alluminum hats will certainly add to this.

Not too sure what you are trying to say, but i still stay with my previous comments.

These calipers look very similar to a R33 GTR Brembo, in size, style and appearance (not colour, unless painted). So to say they are the biggest, is a fulse announcement.

Have you compaired these brakes to a R33 GTR Brembo package?

Yeah the front piston is 4mm larger than that of the r33 gtr brembo package.

Basically above i was tring to say in a roundabout way that with these callipers these are the bigest discs i could fit under a 17" rim. It may be possible to squeeze 324mm out of it but you'ld hav to check with whatever rim your using etc. etc. As these callipers are larger than stock r33 gtr ones by quite a bit.

what car are they 'bolt on' for?

because they are lug mount, they might be very difficult to fit to a skyline without buggering around with brackets...

if they were radial mount it would be heaps easier

Must have missed your question, No idea what they are off, purchasd for a custom job and the discs/piston sizing. Have been told they are the same as the porches but the pistion sizes are larger.

So no idea, yes radial mount would be easier for you guys with skylines but a set of custom brackets cost bugger all, 2-300 at most if that.

Cheers

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
