No I was pretty much resigned to having to cough up for some 18" LM's or similar.

Just trying to figure out a way of buying some F50 callipers & matching them to some rotors without having to pay stupid money for Brembo rotors. It looks like Stoptech will work as well as Biot. I just need some calliper bracket drawings to make some progress. :whistling:

what about using 355mm GT-P discs from RDA / DBA? same pcd, but bigger studs and centre / hub hole. different offset but if you're making brackets anyway it doesn't matter unless the offset interferes with something. make up a few bushes and you're away.

Just as long as they are stamped "For information only" or "Not for construction" so no dumb arsed engineer goes & builds the things.... :blink:

It's an AP CP-5555 just with a different sticker arrangement to the standard ones you see. this is a 36mm caliper.

It's a custom hat and bracket done here by a guy in Melb, running AP 36mm x 355mm rotors (they were farkin expensive)

I was being silly. It doesnt really matter which way the slots are going provided the vanes of the rotor are going the right way. :)

Personally i prefer when the slots are the same direction as the vanes. this means centrifugal forces actually fling the pad material out of the slot rather then encourage the slots to get clogged up. Anal? Probably. Woudl it makes a difference? Probably not, especially since so many run the slots in the opposite direction to the vanes.

I want those front brakes mudafarker!

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
