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.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
