Hi guys,

Selling my brake set-up.

I bought this kit for about $2800, it included a set of R34 GTR calipers (front and rear) off a very low km R34. They were sold still on the original rotors. from memory car had done 25,000kms. the owner upgraded to a full track spec kit front and rear and I bought the old gear. The rotors were worn out but calipers very good.

Not many people know but the R34 brembos are not a direct fit to a 32 or 33 as the bolts and bolt wholes are different (r32 is 12X1.25 and 34 is 14mm). You can drill out your hubs but this is not really reversible. So instead I had proper stainless steel threaded inserts professionally fitted to the caliper lugs which will be stronger than the original thread (just cut into the alloy). this cost around $200.

With this mod they will now bolt straight on to R32 GTR and GTST, R33 GTST or GTR, S13 silvia, S14 Silvia, S15 Silvia and most nissans.

I then bought brand new front and rear rotors which are slotted curved vane rotors (over $1000).

I also bought a set of brand new Project Mu Titan HC+ brake pads around $800 from memory.

I also bought a set of titanium pad shims which help stop heat transfer into the calipers (they are wanky as hell and cost about $160)

That's over $4,000 total I spent on this set-up.

I also have all the caliper pins, all the shims and backing plates, the original pads and the brake lines too (for all 4 calipers).

The callipers are in perfect condition seal wise but there are a few paint chips (happened when the bloke who sold them to me did not pack them properly and they hit each other in transit).

Asking price is $3,300 for the whole lot. so that's front and rear R34 GTR brembo callipers (modified to bolt straight on to R32), brand new front and rear slotted rotors, brand new project Mu pads front and rear, brake lines and all small parts, brand new titanium pad backing plates, and I'll through in a bottle of Motul RBF 600 fluid too.

No where can you get a brake upgrade like this for anywhere near this money. plus usually you get crap second hand rotors that are shagged (i certainly did when I first bought it) and shagged rubbish pads too.

This way you get a nice balanced front and rear upgrade for not much more than doing a full set of rotors and pads and caliper seals on your current stock brakes.

Pick-up from me in sydney CBD. contact via pm or email through the forum.

not really relivent, but i stole the mos burger drink coasters from the mos burger in shinjuku

so free bump i suppose (wish i could afford them)

Soo cheap!

I bought a set of 350z brembo calipers and 2 pairs of DBA rotors and Endless pads for my upgrade and it all adds up pretty quickly. Pretty much up to the same $$$ as what you're asking and they aren't even a straight bolt on affair, nor are the pads and rotors brand new :thumbsup:

If I hadn't already bought all of this I would definitely be buying this kit!!

Good luck with the sale

Hi Julz,

yes they can very easily be used on a GTT. what you do is leave the callipers as they are since the new steel inserts are a much stronger mounting option than thread cut straight into the alloy, and in this guise they are 'bolt on' to a wider range of cars (good if you re-sell in future). then you buy some M12 bolts for the front callipers and there are spacers that go into your hub to reduce the hole from 14mm to 12mm. it's a very simple piece, I could supply them for probably $20 if needed. it's basically just a washer that is about 6mm thick with a 12mm ID and a 14mm OD. it sits snugly in there and allows you just bolt these up without modding the hubs or the callipers. :(

forgot to add one item, I have a full set of calliper rebuild kit for the front callipers and *may* have a rear kit too. It's the genuine nissan kit which includes new piston seals, circlips and dust boots.

I had bought it before I got the callipers just in case but when they are arrived all where in excellent condition so I never did it, but the new buyer can have it and choose to refresh them or not. then you will have brand new project mu pads, brand new slotted rotors and brand new callipers, with titanium backing plates :D

what brand are the rotors?

Did PM you but you may of been unimpressed with my proposed deal !!!

Fair enough, as i always believe one must inform any seller of a intent to buy, so as

they can have something to consider rather than nothing on the table !!!

Will be ordering some K-Sport 6spot calipers and matching rotors on tuesday, just so you have

the heads up !! If were interested in the 3k offer, then at least i have communicated my intent .

Cheers Mike PS. best to SMS me as away from computor for next 2 days...thats if you intending contact !! 0437123233

have been super slack getting pics (been moving house and had no time) but I should be able to take some tonight. hold tight!

sorry guys. :P been moving house and absolutely flat out. spreading myself pretty thin at the moment and every time I've been over to the garage I've been doing something else and forget the brake pics. will try to get some tonight (no promises though!).

That's not a fair comment at all, NISSAN_GTR. Did you even read the 'stats' under his avatar (or his posts)?*

:whistling:

sorry bad timing on my part. moved house, vacated house and went on 6 week holiday with zero time in between. back in sydney now and just getting settled into new place. internet FINALLY connected today and phone only just connected yesterday. all poor excuses but I just literally didn't have time to get over to where the brakes are and get some basic photos before I went away. every day and night was flat out.

now i'm back I will update as soon as possible. :(

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • 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.
