yeah I was going to use some 340mm rotors I have with the standard calipers. but now that I have these brembos i may as well use them. mainly because they have a larger pad, and should be a stiffer caliper.

if you do want to use 324mm rotors with the stock calipers I'd reccomend the UAS kit. Very, very nice brackets. and not a bad price either.

just so happens that the tread is alost right. just abit tight. so the tap makes it slightly bigger by about 0.2mm so worst case you can still use the calipers on a 34.

I'm not sure what you mean dave-o? you mean I can drill my hubs to take the 14mm bolts for the 34 caliper. and then if I ever wanted to go back to stock caliper I could just cut a new thread in my standard 32 caliper to accept the 14mm bolt?

here's a couple of dodgey pics I snapped just for you ronin. the gold is a bit camp, but I must admit they are a good looking caliper. If I thought I could get as good a finish as factory I would paint them black for sure.

yeah also missing rotors, lines, pads... no, I have everything. I just didn't take pics of it all.. there are no shims in the rear calipers as there are no pads in there.

as for you ronin... don't poke fun at my gold brakes. at least they are factory painted unlike all the cool people who paint their sumitomos gold to make slow witted people think they have brembos...

eug, yeah your black stockies look ok, but I don't like the finish on them (which is why I wont re-paint the brembos). It just doesn't look quite right to me.

Hmm interesting. I was always of the understanding that the pad in the Brembos on the Nissan was bugger all larger than that of the Sumitomo's. Any chance of a compare & contrast?

Gold: The new black?

Or

Gold: As camp as a row of pink tents?

yeah, I'll whip one of the pads out tonight and do a little comparo. it's not a massive size difference, but it looks bigger to me. god I hope there is some advantage as they are not that cheap! i'll cling to the faint notion of a stiffer caliper.

yip... it's impossible to get the same smooth glossy finish in black without spending some decent coin for temp resistant paint.

they get dirty anyway, so i wasnt too fussed.

yep, that's what I meant. i guess it would want to be to take advantage of the larger diamter rotor. :D

Well yes & no. It is not so much the diameter of the rotor as a whole, but more so the depth of the race of the rotor. See the attached photo for an ugly example of what the things shouldn't look like. You can see that there is a fair amount of rotor face not being wiped by the pad & also that the inside radius of the pad is quite a bit different to how it should be.

It is something to be a bit careful of when buying aftermarket calipers & rotors - particularly if you are mix & matching.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
