Brake Upgrade Kit - Rotors And Pads

[Chris-06R]

Hi all,

I've recently been looking at upgrading my brakes to something that will cope on track days and have come across what will be a good deal if we can get a few people on board...

What it is - A front brake upgrade kit that allows to convert your R32/33 Gts-t/Z32 300ZX/S14 5-stud/S15 front rotors from the standard sized rotors to the GTR spec 325mm rotors.

What's included - A pair of slotted DBA4000 rotors (325mm), a caliper mounting bracket which allows the brake caliper to be moved to fit the new rotor size, and a set of (front) pads (either Ferodo Formulas (2000s), or 2500's - your choice).

Who from/How much - I have organised this through Brake Lining and Parts at Condell Park, Sydney. Over the counter price is $990 for the kit with the ferodo 2500 pads or $770 with the ferodo ultimate pads. If I can get 10 people (including myself) interested we can have this price reduced by at least 10% (exact price to be confirmed when I see how much interest there is).

Other Details - This kit will fit S14 (5 stud) and S15 silvias/200sx as well as Z32 300zx's. I have been told the kit can also be fitted to 33's but I believe the standard rotor size is 300mm and therefore the increase is only fairly small. It may also fit any other models which use the same specification original rotors/pads as those listed.

If you are interested Please leave a message in this thread so that we can decide whether this group buy will be worthwhile. I will endeavour to finalise exact pricing over the next few days.

Thanks

im interested in getting a caliper mounting bracket to space my 296mm r32 gtr calipers to the 325mm brembo size if possible???

[Chris-06R]

Hmm, not 100% sure if the mounting bracket will suit moving from the 296mm size to the 325mm size but I will find out- I would say it would be ok as its only 16mm different to the 280mm rotors its made for and I believe the mounting points are slightly different.

If I could organise a group buy on these would there be anyone else interested?

i would be interested even if it was not a group buy... if you could let me know a price that would be awesome

[=premo=]

have you got any idea on price?

I'm very interested if its cheap as this is all i would need to get my new engine in my car and registered legaly

PM me please

I'd be interested in the mounting brackets, seeing as I can get DBA rotors fairly cheap through my business anyway. Likewise, I don't need the pads. Can you let us know if we can just get the bracket?

[turboedsloth]

i to would be interestd in the bracket

[Chris-06R]

Hey guys, I'll be away for this week so I won't be able to take this any further in that time...

But when I get back I will find out if we can get the brackets seperately

[tefu]

what happened to this group buy kit? will this kit suits the original S15 calipers and poject mu pads?

[Chris-06R]

Hi,

There wasn't enough interest to warrant a group buy however I bought a kit for myself anyway - a solid track day at wakefield and the brakes performed perfectly all day, and have on the road since.

If you're interested contact Darren or Bruce at Brake Lining and parts on (02) 9790 2003 (website is http://www.performanceroadandraceparts.com.au/)

So how much did you pay for it?

[Chris-06R]

the over-the-counter price I listed at the start of the thread

Just wondering what pad you have changed to that still fits the calliper. It is quite a bit larger. Cheers

[Busky2k]

I'd be keen but I'd rather not have to pay for pads cos I've got some fresh ones - I just want the rotor and bracket. Btw what sized/model # pad are you using to get the extra length?

I'm also interested in the longer pad as I've already don this conversion but still using the stock pad.

[HotXR6T]

I have done a bit of research and found that they are Mitsubishe EVO Brembo calliper pads that are trimmed to fit and the holes up top elongated as per the photo.

[=premo=]

do you have a product number for them? or rough price?

thanks

[HotXR6T]

I believe they are Endless EP357... approx $360 and Ferodo DB1678 about the same I think.

[vidospace]

Can they do this for a GTT R34? They have 310mm front rotors so again it wouldnt be too much bigger, but the rotors are hard to come by for a decent price anyway for these cars.

PM me if they can do it!
