Item: Brembo F40 Calipers, lines, pads and rotors.

Age: Used

Condition: Good, perfect working order

Price:

$1,760 for bolt on R32/33 324mm rotor/caliper/mount setup

$2,100 for everything. Negotiable depending on what rotors etc etc

To Fit:

- Using 324mm DBA 4000 rotors then will bolt to R32/33s.

- Using 340mm hat and radial mount will bolt to R34s. Require new 340mm rotors as rotor in pic is cracked and for display purposes only

Location: CBD Melbourne

Contact: Via thread or PM

Comments:

I purchased the F40 kit as the pistons are the same size as the Nissan GTR Brembo (so compatible with std master cylinders etc), and combined with larger rotor is what Brembo recommend for Silvias, 300ZXs and R32/33 GTSt. Also sold as a kit for GTRs provided the rotor used is under under the 343mm range. Brembo kits using the 355mm rotor or bigger typically use the F50 caliper which is dimensionally the same, only uses larger pistons. The F40 advertised uses 44/38mm pistons where the F50 uses 44/40.

The kit includes everything in the pics:

- Calipers

- Used K-Powers MD-R pads, about 10mm pad left, ie plenty of life left (DIXCEL)

- Braided lines

- R32/33 324mm Radial mounts

- R34 340mm radial mounts

- Near new 324mm DBA 4000 rotors, no more then 3,000kms on them. (Not pictured, still on car)

- 340mm alloy hats with new rotor mounting hardware.

The actual 340mm rotor pictured is no longer able to be used due to crack at one of the lugs that is bolted to the hats. I had purcahsed new 340mm rotors, but whilst carrying too many things down the stairs to the underground carpark i dropped them, completely farking brand new rotors :w00t: (divets and gouges) Rather then buy yet another set i decided to use them with the 324mm rotor i already had on the car, hence the second pair of radial mounts.

The Brembo caliper is a good, sturdy and reliable caliper. Calipers have been photographed as they come off the car, so with a clean they will look better again. (Will clean before posting etc).

Both rotor diameters and calipers cleared by 17 x 8+35 Wed wheels (track rims) though the caliper width means that my street 17s of the same offset do no clear the brakes. Sadly thats the price you get for such a rigid, robust caliper, its physical size :D Still being alloy its not exactly heavy.

Would clear most 17" wheels with an offset of +30 or less, and some wheels with offsets between +30 and +35.

Selling and have gone back to my std calipers on spacer bracket. No longer tracking car so doesnt make sense having these laying around as they do not clear my street rims. Can negotiate a price depending on what buyer wants

Will post to metro major city for free. And to clarify, when using the 324mm rotor it is a complete bolt on setup for $1760, near new rotors, mounts, lines and pads.

Left over will the the 340mm alloy hats and mounts for an R34

Hey Troy,

how does the car pull up with the standard brakes with the bigger rotors thinking of filling out the 33 gtr wheels on the gts4

Where did you get the adaptors from??

best price for 340mm with dog bones and calipers etc... Need to fit rear of R34 GTR. I;m not really in a big need for them but you have wanted to get rid of these brakes for a while and i have picked your brain once in the past...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
