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

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
