Hey All,

I have a full set of 2005 STI Gold Brembo Callipers to use on my car. The rears bolt up fine but the fronts require "dog bone" mounting brackets.

I have called the authorised Brembo distributors but they did not offer any support/product.

I am wondering if anyone knows where I can buy a pair? Or do they get custom made and if they do, who does it? I have been doing the ring around and I can't find anyone to help.

Any leads/info would be greatly appreciated.

do the rears bolt up without any mods? sounds like a good upgrade

They do bolt up to a non Vspec R32 GTR. See below link for more info:

'cheaper' to sell the lot and get 33gtr brembos instead

can foresee lots of issues with this mod including resale

would'nt want to go through the pits with them either

I wouldn't get 33gtr brembo to replace this as they have a very similar piston diameter.

There will be some custom work involved (dog bones, alloy hats, brake line brackets) but it can be done.

With regards to the pits, as long as the pot count are the same as what came out from the factory (i.e. 4 pot standard then get 4 pot F50 Brembo) then it CAN be engineered.

You will be hard pressed getting a 6 pot AP Racing or Project Mu Kit engineered on a R32 GTR.........

will the stock brake lines fit?

The end fitting will screw into the caliper and the brake line IS long enough. Only a new bracket needs to be made up similar to the standard.

Please understand I am only talking about the rear calipers as I can't bolt the fronts on as they need dog bones (the whole reason I started this post)

BTW, I found out Racetune in Bayswater will happily machine custom dog bones and alloy hats with your aftermarket 2 piece rotors for the correct offset.

Replied out of concern. Almost did the same mod while back

called my brother (mechanical engineer) who told me I will find out very soon if the caliper placement screwed with the vehicles geometry.

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
