R32 Gtr Stock Rotors To 324Mm Rotors

[T04GTR]

dont be weak, get some real calipers that take 30mm thick pads! only have to change them once every year or so.. with track use.. and if a common racing caliper pads can be had pre bedded for less than 150 a set.

calipers pads

That's cool. Cheap too. 140 family pad?

Been drooling over Alcon XR6 calipers for some time. However I'd think fat calipers like this require some pretty heroic wheel offsets.

you tried these guys for DS2500s DJR? http://www.zeckhausen.com/Brembo/GT1_Pads.htm

pad choice for F40/F50s is probably second to none. all the euro stuff is available, so is the US stuff and even the japanese stuff is all made in F40/F50 pad shapes.

as far as the cool kids go, they most often mistake my F50s with 355mm rotors for stock R33 brembos... lol definitely no cred, especially since they fit under my 17inch LMGT4s...

From zeckhausen

The 16mm FDSR3028 w/o sensor slot is no longer available in the USA and possibly Europe, but the 16mm thick version with the sensor slot is available. I'm checking to see if it's sitting in the USA or if it has to be ordered from Italy.

Meanwhile, I've added the 16mm thick pads to our part numbering system with a "-1" extension to differentiate from the 18mm thick pads. See: http://store.zeckhausen.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=82_85

Will let you know about availability shortly.

For some reason, the thinner 16mm DS2500 is more expensive than the 18mm version, however the pricing is reversed with the DS3000, with the 16mm version being cheaper. Odd.

Then:

I just heard back from Essex - the importer of Ferodo into the USA. They state the FDSR3028H is not available and they do not stock the FRP3028H. It would have to be special ordered from Italy with a lead time of about 8 weeks.

I think I'm going to buy a set of the project MU titan HC for my F50s. yes they are 18mm but they list them as suitable for front calipers. maybe F40 to F40 is slightly different width? for $179USD I think they are pretty keenly priced.

Well let us know how you get on. Are they a new pad because I cant remember Project Mu doing something with that working temperature range. Local price is $444. Ow.

I think I will order the 16mm pads (and wait a bit) then check them with a 2mm spacer.

[Beer Baron]

fk me dead. $444 is harsh. I thought $178 was cheap but was thinking more like $300-$350 retail. will let you know. if it comes to it I'll need to spend some time grinding the bastards down...

[T04GTR]

yes. 400 for little 16mm pads is horific. just think, 2 pad changes and youve almost bought a set of forged monoblock race calipers with titanium pistons.. fyi using evo pads in the f40/50 caliper lowers/widends the contact area buy about 10mm. but they are thinner.

[Roy]

But T04GTR, not the widest range of pads available for those race calipers

[T04GTR]

not really, mostly race compounds. hawk,pfc, mainly. ive used a few differant types. the pfc.01 compound is really good. from dead cold to orange disks.

[Roy]

Have you tried PFC06? They are a nice bitey pad, but in my car I struggle with locking brakes with them. I am abotu to bin them for some RS4-2. Much lower bite nad friction coefficient. I think some of the high u pads are for non boosted brakes etc

[byebye]

dragging up an old thread but is there an issue using 32 gtr calipers that usually take 32mm wide rotors on the 324mm rotors that are only 30mm wide?

[GTSBoy]

Not really. The pistons will each stick 1mm further out of the bore when the pads are worn down to minimum, and that will make them rock a tiny bit more, but will not really be a problem.

[byebye]

Thats what i was thinking but thought i'd ask the question!

cheers

[Legionnaire]

or you can use 1-mm thick titanium shims under pads - you'll have both correct piston reach and good heat insulation.

Or use different rotors

[byebye]

I like the shim idea! i haven't looked into if i can get the right rotor size i just noticed it said to suit these particular ones
