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 :thumbsup:

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?

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?

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 :P

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/)

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?

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!

    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
