post-36964-1206935023_thumb.jpg G`day all just a few photo`s of R32GTR with evo calliper`s, cheer`s chuckie,post-36964-1206934910_thumb.jpgpost-36964-1206934808_thumb.jpgpost-36964-1206934284_thumb.jpgpost-36964-1206934184_thumb.jpg

LOL, they are Alcon Mono 6 calipers. I know Alan Heaphy has sold a few kits as a Ralliart option for some late model EVOs. The Ralliart asking oprice is scary, higher then what you can buy the Alcons for

Haha :)

I'm contemplating some 6 pot Alcons and AP's at the moment, as well as a few other options which I can pickup second hand. The Evo brembo option is pretty enticing for the dollars, especially as you can pick up some front calipers for under $700... I'm contemplating the Evo brembo with a 355mm rotor under my 17's, or the Alcons on the same size rotor. I think the Alcons would be overkill, and require a bit of messing around with my master cylinder which is putting me off a bit.

I'm also considering this kit: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Wilwood-SL4...sspagenameZWDVW which I've thought about for a while. It has larger pistons than the Evo's, are light, and cheap! Great value in comparison to a lot of others.

What have you got laying about Troy? I like your F40 kit, but I just don't have the dollars to outlay in one hit at the moment with all the other car expenses I've had. Bloody bottomless money pit... :P

Best I can offer is this:

The part number for a project mu rotor for an R33 front is SCRN006. It has a height of 53.8mm

For an Evo the part number is SCRM045 with a height of 44.2mm

So the Evo calliper appears to sit a little further out than the Nissan equivalent. Which may cause a problem.

Hey guys i've been offered a set of Evo 7 Brembos (whole set) for a very reasonable price, to go on my R32 GTR. What do I need to consider before trying to install them? Would they require any sort of modification or adapters to suit it? Is the stud pattern the same? Anything else I need to think about it?

Cheers!

Question: Are Evo 7-9 Brembo's identical to each other?

If they are in fact the same then my questions probably have been answered :D

EDIT: just reread maxspd's post, just the info i'm after cheers!

Anyone know of any good workshops who would be able to fit these brakes and make up the adapters etc.?

I've tried a few places and they've more or less palmed me off, just want a rough estimate of how much they'll be to fit before I buy them. Cheers!

Autosports in Kirrawee. :D

Autosports in Kirrawee. :rolleyes:

Thanks for that mate, they've done it a few times and for a good price as well, everywhere else was more than double of what they're asking. They haven't done the rears before though, would they be a big upgrade over the standard rear calipers?

    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
    • The fact that US/JDM plates actually fit the skyline bumpers properly is a big, big thing for me as they are the correct dimensions. Annoyingly you can't opt for a normal plate (or plate combination) in that size. You have to make up your own one, and at that point you'd still know it wasn't randomly assigned. 
    • Well, really, that's any ECU, because it's not so much the ECU that the tuner connects to, but a laptop that's connected to the ECU. You have to have the tuning software installed locally. The "remote" part is essentially just remote desktop (RDP) or VNC type access. Nevertheless, if you're looking to upgrade, then you're immediately in the Haltech/Link territory, both of which can be done by any number of competent tuners here in Oz. But without a dyno, you'll definitely also need a wideband O2 sensor fitted, and you'll probably be relying on "auto" tuning a bit, where you drive it around under various loads and then apply the corrections that the ECU learns (basically applying the fuel trims that the ECU has to do to correct the mixtures). Tuning the timing is a little harder. It can be difficult to trust the old OEM knock sensors on RBs, so it is definitely best to have someone who knows what they're listening for, with knock ears (a piezo microphone connected to the engine, and and little amp and headphones so the listener can hear the angry men with hammers who live in the engine). That is more difficult to do remotely, and I suspect the only sane way is to be quite conservative on timing. But that's OK. You're probably waaaaay better off with conservative timing where you are. What is the fuel situation? 98RON available? Or low grade jungle juice?
    • I see your point, I didn't think too deep into it, was purely focused on the price. There's no bad blood between myself and GSM, they acknowledged the price was cheaper else where and at the time couldn't match it.
