Swiper the Fox Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/227557-can-we-have-some-pointers/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 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.

JAGR33 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I'd recommend getting some rears too. None in the parts bin at DJR??? Are they enduro calipers? What thickness is the rotor??

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... http://www.kpmauto.com/Gallery/tabid/142/m...36/Default.aspx But for the money i couldnt go past them. Need another set for twoogle now...lol Edited July 10, 2008 by DiRTgarage Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/227557-can-we-have-some-pointers/#findComment-4005864 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus Smart Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 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 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/227557-can-we-have-some-pointers/#findComment-4008218 Share on other sites More sharing options...

benm Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 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?
