Hey there all GTR owners plenty of threads here in regards to the R32 GTR front brakes

fair enough a lot of "if" and "maybes"

Has anyone actually used the Unique Autosports bracket (new ally one) or similar

to use R32 GTR 4 spot calipers on 324mm vspec rotors

really need some one who has actually done a similar up grade

Thanks in advance people

I have that UAS upgrade on my car. IMO they're ok, but;

- You have to do a lot of modification of the bracket or the hub to get the brackets to bolt on. I was a bit uncomfortable with the amount of material that had to come out. You NEED an angle grinder. John will tell you they are not a easy fit.

- You have to bend the buggery out of the copper brake line to get it back in the caliper, as the bracket moves the caliper down as well as out. I was concerned with the amount of bending required.

If i were to do another i'd try the ebay ones that just move the caliper radially out rather than out and down. My guess is that they would probably bolt straight on and not require anywhere near as much bending of the brake line.

Rgs,

If i were to do another i'd try the ebay ones that just move the caliper radially out rather than out and down.

That is more a function that you are going from 296mm to 324mm rotors, and you cant simply offest the holes using a simple bracket. You actually need to clock the caliper around so you have sufficient meat in the caliper.

So i dont think the ebay ones for 296 to 324mm will be any different. You may be thinking about the brackets that relocate the caliper for 280 to 324mm rotors

Its a good budget upgrade...but remember its a budget upgrade. You would get a better result using new stiffer calipers suited to the rotor size you want .... which means big coin.

Honestly, if its a street car then i would stick with std caliper and rotor size with good pads and fluid and properly serviced mastger cylinder, booster etc etc.

If you are getting fade out of a properly maintained setup with good pads i respectfully request you hand in your drivers licence. :)

It appears AP are the best bang for dollar....you never see 2nd hand APs for sale...the reason is owners take them from car to car :D

I have the new type of UAS spacer that I bought on the VIC trip to NSW for 324mm rotors on a 32gtr. I'm going to have a go at installing them this w/e for Calder in a few weeks.

I'll let you know how they go. They are really cheap for what you get. Now I'm a bit worried about how easily they'll go on as as he said they were a straight fit and they had spent a lot of time to get it right. Hope you don't have the same batch as mine.

Wicked stuff Rowdyr32 I would love to hear how you go with the new UAS bracket looks killa

let me know how you go

admit though the 343mm bracket is really well made any one know where to buy cheap 343m rotors???

Cheers Everyone some really good advice

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
