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.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
