Can We Have Some Pointers

[Swiper the Fox]

Hi brake guru's,

Just bought some ex-DJR AP 6 spots for our car and got 4 sets of 375mm rotors and pads. We want to fit them to our circuit car and we need some advice. Will we have any bias problems? will we need master cylinder upgrade? Will we need to upgrade rears as well (rears are R33 GTR Brembo's)

We also need hats made up or bought as well as dogbones.

any help is much appreciated

speak to the guys at racebrakes sydney (02) 9609 1101

They can do the hats and dogbones, can advise on the master cylinder (will probably be OK but I don't know the piston diameters in the calipers to be sure). And best of all they know what they are talking about.

Thanks Duncan, apparantly there is a mob in SA that can do the hats too. Will measure piston diameters tomm. and post up some pics too.

got all this gear for the tiny sum of $2500

I'd recommend getting some rears too.

None in the parts bin at DJR???

Are they enduro calipers?

What thickness is the rotor??

Dick said we couldn't have the rears as he was still using them. They are the "lightweight" caliper, the rotors ill need to measure tomm. but definately 375mm fishook style. I think they are 35mm

similar to whats shown here...

Hey Paul Race brakes are good, but.... they send all their stuff to specialized brake and clutch (gav sport) at st marys anyway..

i got my hats and rotors made up at race brakes, but they were just sent out to st marys to get made.

[Duncan]

yeah we have also used sbc for getting brake lines made up (back in the bad old days when we had to run factory not braided). they did a good job

[craked]

dude i could have sold you a 8 piston bolt on kit for around the same prize

[phunky_monkey]

[craked]

ksport brake kit start 4 piston calpier and go up to 12piston rotors start at 286 mm and go up to 410mm see link for more details

K-sports a great brand bang for buck but for genuine AP's that are race proven...i kno id go for AP's...particularly when its genuinely a track car.

just an FYI - gavsport/SBC are based in peachtree Penrith now.

Yup told you on the phone Paul to contact Kevin at Specialised Brake And Clutch (yup now in Penrith). Pretty much any brake package you see for Holden/Ford/Mitsubishi performance cars in any magazine or any workshop had something to do with SBC/GavSport.

Do your rotors happen to look anything like these?
