Just thought I'd give an update.

I ended up going with my first choice of brakes, which was CSC. I'd always said that was the setup I was going to go with once I decided to upgrade, and thanks to a lot of help from Stuart at Benson Motorsport (t01-100 on here) I picked these up last night.

So now the brake setup is CSC 4 pots with 343mm discs, 33 GT-R rear brembo calipers, and a BM44 Master Cylinder with the ABS blanked out, set up for use with no booster. Should be plenty for my lil' old 180SX :D

Phunky, these fitted yet? How you going with them?

I am running R33 Brembo rears! :)

Ahhhh, so we're in the same boat then...

So you don't think something like RDA's would be suitable for the back?

Nick: Nah mate, not yet. Waiting on rear rotors, lines and front brackets and lines... oh, and the car to have an engine in it :O

I cracked an RDA rear rotor at Calder last year, was kind of scary until i caught on what was going. I didnt get the pulsing in the brake pedal like when i cracked the fronts...so took me a few laps to suss out what was going. On, my thoughts are basically RDA and DBA are all crap if you use your car semi regularly at the track with anything resembling a racey pad with good torque characteristics

Hopefully! I'm shooting for the Sandown Maserati day in October, so got lots of things to do. Picked up a bunch of paint yesterday, so should be getting the sound deadening out and spraying the interior tomorrow, and starting prepping the rear brembo's for paint yesterday. Then it's a rewire, get the tailshaft made, and piece the thing back together :P

S14 Stoptech big brake kit, Enkei 17" wheel just clears the inner part of the rim, outer clearance from the spokes is fine. Caliper takes common sized Porsche pads.

It's amazing what brakes you can fit with the right adapters and hats.

A mate of mine is running Porsche GT3 front calipers and 993 twin turbo discs on an old 911 under factory 16" porsche rims.

Here's a photo of his front brake setup ...

Here's a photo of his car with the 17" road wheels he uses. His track rims are factory 16 inch wheels.

He got a custom set of caliper adapters made up and a custom set of hats.

The key is proper measurement of everything - he's a semi retired engineer & was very careful on his clearances.

If you run the caliper too close to the rim, it can get nasty - I saw a touring car rim a few weeks ago where a stone got stuck between the rim and the caliper. With the rim spinning the stone machined a groove right round the inside of the rim. It could have easily have cut the rim in half.

Adam, any idea of delivery and price? I am waiting on a delivery price and was expecting to pay for them on Monday (from the US)

I woudl love to buy them locally but V-Sport seem to want an unusually high amount for them. I appreciate businesses have over heads, but they are some 65% more expensive.

Adam, what size is the rotor and how many pots on the caliper on the Enkei?

The front rotors on the supercharged 911 project car are factory Porsche 993 twin turbo rotors running on a custom hat. They are 322 mm x 32 mm.

It runs Factory Porsche GT3 calipers on the front on custom caliper adapters. The GT3 calipers are a 4 piston caliper with a pad area of roughly 153 square cm per caliper. Here's a pic of the supercharged 911's brake setup ...

Bear in mind that the weight of the supercharged 911 with a full fuel tank, no passenger seat and no spare wheel is just 1124 kg, so this is truly a mammoth brake setup on such a light car.

It's hugely impressive that Ray (the engineer who owns the car) was able to squeeze such big brakes under factory 16 inch wheels, particular since 1970's Porsche factory wheels were never designed with such big brakes in mind and they don't have the very square inner profile like many more modern rims do.

As for the Enkei pic, I didn't post that pic - I just replied to that post it was psoted by 260DET. Here is his post ...

we have those calipers on the targa car, on standard size disks. just needed a custom mounting bracket

Hi Duncan,

Are you talking about the Porsche GT3 calipers there ?

What size disks are you running the calipers on ?

- Adam

OK. Anyone out there actually running Stoptech brakes? Please PM me if youy are. I'm having problems getting piston sizes from ST and can't determine what BMC size to match their R32 GTR kits to. They are very coy about this information, which really leaves me unable to make a decision.

Any suggestions? Anyone know this info?

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
