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.

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
