well they arent really that difficult to make, more the time taken to work out the alignment that makes the one offs more expensive.

i'll probably look into making the adapters once mine are finished off

Just wondering what people are paying for the machining? The actual design is quite easy to nut out.

If anyone is looking for evo brembos, they are EVERYWHERE!!! in the US. I picked up two full sets (front and rear) in florida for 700 bucks!

If your going to make some Craved I'll be interested.

Cheers

sweet, i found some for $650, what discs are you guys gonna use, come on craved hurry up and find the one peice rotors we need :P

I don't know what rotors i'm going to use yet. somthing commondore i recon. easy and cheap. something with a little more inset so I can run most regular rims.

The Brembo EVOs do have massive pistons compared to anything offered for Nissans by the aftermarket. Combined with the fact that they then are being used with a larger rotor then anything Mitsu or Nissan use. You need to have something pretty serious plans for the rear and then need to allow for any difference between an EVO and a Skyline with regards to pedal ratios and master cylinder sizes. To mean not only the bias works well but the pedal doesnt end up too sensitive or too long

I have read about plenty of people wanting to do this...but few have. So will be interesting to read the results as on paper it will take a bit of work to get working well

And Zebra. the 4 pot FPVs are essentially an F50 caliper though they use larger pistons as well. They are radial mount vs the lug mount of the EVO.

As for machining, if you give people the file, then you can still expect to pay up to $400 a corner. Can get them cheaper, but depends on what you are machining as you need to consider the set up time, any programming and material cost. Its easy to see where 4-5 hours goes and hence the labour cost adds up on top of material costs

what kind of serious plans for the rear are you thinking Roy?

once they are in place i'll start looking into the M/C sizes etc for feel and feedback - though i think the gtst brakes are fairly touchy so a longer pedal should allow a bit more control.

Are the rears not bolt on???

If your going to go to the truble to design custom dog bones/adapters you could make comonly available rotors work.

also r34 gtr master cylinder is the same size as the EVO. so easy to re-fitt.

If the master cylinder size is the same then thats a an R34 at 26.9mm then that is a good starting point. But you also need to consider the pedal ratio as that is the other variable from a hydraulics standpoint. Also need to consider that different cylinders often have different bias - proportioning springs in them and that is related to the weight bias of the car

Well the first thing that springs to mind would be something like an EVO rear as I assume that they use considerably bigger pistons then the GTR Brembos. But have never checked. The thing I dont have agood feel for is when you start to run 330mm + rears with thicknesses up over 26mm what it means regarding the pads you need to run. I guess you end up being able to run a very low temp pad as you would have huge amounts of cooling in the rear with very little bias...unless you have serisous rear aero that allows you to run more rear bias then normal.

But i think you may need to look at some Porsche rear 4 pots as they tend to run slightly larger pistons then ideal being rear engined and able to run plenty of rear bias.

You think GTSt brakes are touchy? To potter around with or when you are screaming along and jumping on them. I think its best to work on 100% braking feel, capacity and performance and how they feel when potting along is what you live with. That way when you are up it on the track etc they are working well and heaven forbid you need to brake in an emergecy situation on the road that they perform equally well.

LOL, like all things, the more you change the more variables you introdice. But imagine it will be rewarding when you understand it all what affected what and it works well!

From an aftermarket standpoint many make 1-pce 355mm rotors. OE there are a few like 370Z and some other later model Nissans, and FG Falcons. There are others but not with the same PCD-bolt pattern. The ford uses a bigger hub centre diam hole so dont really bolt on as such 71.8mm vs 68mm of the Nissans. Means the 370Z is probably the best bet but the offset is fairly different between them and earlier Nissans, about 5mm from memory

ok so 370z discs will mount but need custom brackets,but custom brackets are needed anyway,

is the piston size the main advantage for brakes? if so is it possible to bore out and run oversized pistons in stock calipers?

Really depends on if you want to use DBA or another brand

The 2314's look to be the go for the front end and somthing like 929's for the ass end...

Can anyone pm me what they're paying to get adapters/dogbones fabricated? I can do the design. Also what materials are people using?

Cheers

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
