Gt-r's Past Their Used By Date?

[FineLine]

that GTR came 1.5seconds from the track record set by derik pingle in his Lola F1. pretty damn good to stay that close to the Lola!!! it was awsome to watch tho, he was with a small team of skylines at the gatton sprints wasnt he???

CJ

there was an outfit there with 2 or 3 lines, One of them was a 33 with a smallblock shoehorned in. The giant car was independant of these guys tho. They didnt appear at qr on the weekend either. A huge disapointment to me as I really wanted to watch that car for more than one corner a la gatton. No matter, theres always next time.

Well from my last few enquires:

Stoptech 332*32 hatted rotors + ST40 calipers + braided lines + pads = $2280US approx $2850 Aust. Delivered. Note this is ex US, I haven't got a price from the local distributor as they need to email the States.

Alcon 335*28 hatted rotor + 4 pot caliper + lines + pads+fluid + $3808+gst+freight ex PWR direct.

AP Racing CP5200 + 330x32 hatted rotors + lines & pads = $3200 + freight. EX Racebrakes (pick one)

The endless stuff (6 pot on R33 hatted 324 rotors) is listed as Y436,590 plus freight. Ex Greenline.

So they appear to be reasonably priced to me.

Oh, and Roy, I have delicate little feet. Like a ballerina.

Apparently the new distributor for Stoptech gear is now V-Sport. Tony who I spoke to was very helpfull & knowledgeable.

Also, from what I understand there is a Brembo kit for a Z32 with a 332x32 rotor & an F40 caliper. Has anyone used these?

Sydneykid,

If the front is upgraded to a bigger rotor and pad, what is done to the back rotors?

I have big brakes....

I like them cause it makes me feel like a Big Man whenever I cruize down to the shops.

Results from todays Trackday at Phillip Island, does it look like GTRs are passed thier used-by date? There were some quick cars there

LOL..you seemed like you were a bit disappointed at dinner with your times up until the last session. I was stoked to see you held your breath for the last session and sucked out a great PB

By my timer i did the 1:52.04. So they gave me 0.04sec on my quickest lap. I would have lved if they gave me 0.05sec. 1:51.999 sounds a lot faster.

They are very beautiful. Can I ask who you bought them from?

Got them thru Perth Brake Parts in Kewdale

It was a toss up between these and a set of AP Racing, personally I preferred the AP Racing Calipers / Disks, but went for the Brembos on account of percieved originality......

djr81 i finally checked our rotors and they are 343mm X 32mm fronts....backs are same dia but thinner...didnt check width sorry.

Thanks man, I sort of suspected they might have been. The 343mm size is about all you can stuff under a 17" rim. Even then it works out to be 13.5" diameter. Which leaves a nominal 1.75" on each side. I say nominal because there isn't anything like that amount of room.

[Beer Baron]

yeah I reckon 340mm is about the most you can comfortably run under a 17incher.

[sav man]

our csc's are on a 343mm rotor, and the calipers have marks on them from where they touch the rim when it's not perfectly clean.

[r33_racer]

actually i checked the rears again...with a measuring device other then my eyes....backs are 323 X 1"(bout 25.4mm)

I measured fronts when we just put new rotors on, and i eyed them off with the backs and they looked similiar, well 20mm smaller in diameter they actually are.

Recap Fronts= 343mm X 32mm

Backs= 323mm X 25.4mm

Alcon monoblock 4pistons front and rear.

Run SBS Dual carbons up front and Carbon Ceramics on the arse.

My apologies for the fark around with the half arsed info.

Speaking of Alcons calipers - you didn't happen to write down the caliper part number by any chance?

[Roy]

The 343mm CSC brakes fit inside my Weds but not my AVS Model 6.

[Sydneykid]

Wakefield Park 14/15 April 2007, Improved Production Over 2 litres, pole position, fastest lap (1.063383) and 3 wins from 3 races. Less than 2/10ths off the lap record set in 2002 ie; before control tyres.

Doesn't seem to me to be past it's use by date.

cheers

PS; well done to Dave and the BSM boys, all that hard work paid off.

[Beer Baron]

nice one dave! mmm he is such a good pilot. nice to see them back on top. and a new paint scheme too... congratulations.

are they still running in CT too?

[Roy]

Hey!!! Thats my front bar. Bastards! I was meant to be the only R32 with that bar

new paint job looks a lot better

[phunky_monkey]

There's another car in Vic with that bar Troy, can't remember his name though. You know it though, white 32 that does 1:17's around Sandown from memory

[Beer Baron]

lol, troy is always getting done over by BSM! hehe.

hmm, personally I kind of miss the black colour scheme, but was too polite to say so.... till now.
