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.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
