Have anyone ever fitted the brakes off a Porsche Cayenne turbo into an ER34? Would love to hear the experience and what is required to fit them in.

Mounting brackets?

Discs - need to redrill holes or get a new set?

Brake master cylinder?

Wheel clearance? 18" offset 35 / 38 ok?

etc...

Cheers.

Done it a few times.

Custom billet adaptors, some minor modifications to the upright to clear the adaptors.

Rotors to suit.

Wheels are dependant on the size of the rotor you choose.

Master you need a 1 inch and a bias valve fitted to the rears

Risking, if I were to embark on the project, would you be able to set me up with the adapters? If not, who can get it done (website? email?)

Who makes the rotors to suit the calipers?

The rear bias valve is adjustable?

Appreciate some pointers and/or pics of this conversion.

the one thing i would check on before going ahead woth this project (providing everything else checks out) is how expensive replacement pads are for this style of caliper. I have heard some horror stories about seriously expensive pads for some of this more exotic hardware!!

actually porsche brakes can be had very cheaply.

Speciafically the cup car callipers.

The cup guys tend to replace them oftern and due to the ever increasing demand for affordable motorsport components the callipers are fairly cheap brand new so 2nd hand ones are really well priced.

For example if you pay more than $900 bucks for a second hand set of 997 cup car callipers you paid too much.

Pads new are roughly a grand for the 997 cup car calliper and they are pagids.

Not recommended for road going use though.

Just make sure the Cayenne calipers are not radial mount, if they are it makes the whole eercise too difficult.

Also, Risking makes a very good point, i have had that many sets of calipers and brakes setups and finally settled on my 4 pot Brembos simply because they have the best range of affordable brake pads. $1000 for brake pads is nose bleed stuff for most... err for me :D

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
