Just went and had a look at them again, they are from a 32. Rotors are 330 and measured 31mm thick slotted, come with brackets and near new pads with about 15mm of pad on them and braided lines for $2500.

Oh, and they come with a seal kit.

How much bigger/better are F50s compared to 33R Brembos?

piston size there isnt much in it, f50's are 44/40, where gtr's are 44/38 i believe... f40's are the same iirc, 44/38.

funnily enough, the pistons in evo brembos are bigger again, 46/40, but theyre harder to adapt.

the biggest benefit with the f40/50 calipers is the size rotor they can take. bigger rotor = better heat sink.

Brakes do my head in. I know nothing.

In even more confusing news! I want to paint my engine covers but have no idea what colour to do them in!

brakes themselves are simple once you wrap your head around the physics involved.

id go bright f**king pink. but thats me.

34R brembo's arnt that good on the track I must admit.

ha. they'd be more than adequate on my car.

anyone know how much itll cost to have some wheel centres powder coated? im gonna do something with my wheels to pass the time.

and dale, i see you lurking, how many cartons to get a diff reshimmed? mines feeling a little loose, could use a tighten up.

    • If there's enough meat in the housing where you want to put the M12 adapter, then do it, but be aware that if/when you f**k that up you'll probably be repairing it before doing anything else. I'd just drill it out and tap ina 1/4" thread. No need for rocket surgery when the next most obvious thing will do. You could throw a 1/4 x 1/8 bush in there and use the same fitting you intended to use.
    • Is the only issue that the oil catch can is getting filled on hard runs? I'd be thinking more about oil control issues rather then the head lifting, especially as you aren't seeing spiking in the coolant pressure.  Do you need restrictors in the head, or better drains from the head? Does the sump need venting to the catch can?
    • Tried to make 1/8npt threads into compressor house of the turbo for my EBC. Threads got fu#ked and ended up with and elongated hole, so I do have good amount and nice threads 90% of the hole but 10% I only had 1-2threads there and rest of it is flush on that side of the hole.. So my idea is to do M12 x 1.25 to AN4 with braided lines instead of 1/8npt to 4mm vacuum silicone hose.  and hopefully get a better thread. M12 is quite big and AN4 is a little bit bigger than 4mm (4.9mm inner diameter braided PTFE hose). but this should work. Thoughts? Otherwise I will weld and adapter onto the turbo.   
    • Looks great, I hope everything is working well after all that time!
