Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has had anything to do with Stoptech brakes?

So fat I've heard nothing but good things about them, but wanted to know if anyone has had any first hand experience, in particular with the ST40 calipers?

I'm tossing up a lot of options at the moment, including Evo Brembo's, Stoptechs, F40's, 324mm conversion... or just going with what I have and seeing how I go.

Cheers

Dane

It most likely would be, but the price people ask for them is crazy. I'm not paying over $1500 for a set of second hand calipers when you can buy some nice 4 pot AP's for the same money. :)

GT-R brembo's - $1500

DBA5000 or equivalent discs - $1000

Braided lines - $200

Pads - $300

I can buy Stoptechs brand new for less than that.

I see your point. If i had to pay those bucks i wouldnt have put them on mine either.

Amec from Brissie is running them in his 300ZX track car. In a drunken stoopa one night i purchased some Greddy 6 pot 330mm setup after reading they were more compact then the Brembo F40/50 caliper. Guess what? They are the same width so still have wheel clearance problems :ermm: Fark having a lowly GTST and trying to run decent brakes. :D Since i am waiting for my OS work visa doesnt look like my car will be needing brakes anytime soon so may could be convinced to not install them on my car :(

I had a similar discussion with Duncan earlier this week and he mentioned the Just Jap G4 packages. its the same deal. all there for 2k and is all new. i just havent heard what they are like...has anybody had anything to do with them? i was considering r34 Brembos but came across the issue that you have just described.

There was a big thread on here about them, people seem to be giving them decent reviews.

Hey thanks for that mate, was a good read and has me sold, will be banging them on the front and rear as soon as SK supplies me the suspension.

Would be good to hear what you think of them.

OK, another question: Who has used the Project Mu 4 piston forged calipers? I love my project mu pads and rotors, so am keen on trying this kit too and have found it's not too pricey from the states. About the same price as the stoptechs, a few hundred more.

This is the kit: http://www.project-mu.co.jp/e/product/caliper_R4-4.html

Wouldn't mind this with the 355mm rotors, but 345's would probably be more sensible for 17's :D

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
