selling these coz they are a bit overkill for a drift car :lol:

these are the old school GREX/greddy upgraded brakes made by alcon (before greddy started using Taiwanese calipers)

they come with mounting brackets, shims, etc and will bolt up to any silva/cefiro/laurel/skyline that uses a 12mm bolt to mount the caliper. they come with braided lines to suit a R33 (possibly r32?) and could be easily adapted to suit a silvia.

the rotors consist of custom made hats to accept a AP racing 343x32 rotor (which is practically new)

brake pads are unknown brand, but still have 10mm of meat and have 'competition use' stamped onto them.

they are freaken light and can fit under the right 17s, they are pretty grotty as they have been sitting around for a few years

chasing $3000. can deliver no worries.

err. i have seen brembos in the same 'condition' go for $1500. they are pretty much new pads, and rotors. everything else is just dirty

don't get me wrong i'm open to offers. but not lowballers.

I agree with the commander, and the 'condition' is just brake dust, assuming they've been drained, flushed with metho and stored in a dry environment they would be good still... even if they had'nt they stand a good chance. Having said that my opinion is $3k is a little high and $1800 - $2200 ( which I would pay if I was cashed up for it ) would be a good buy considering the rotors and pads are in with the deal.. my 2.2 cents ( GST incl. ) also free bump

cheers man, they have been sitting on a wreck in the shed for about 2.5 years. they worked fine driving in and out of the shed. no leaking or anything like that.

gotta remember these were originally sold with a 335mm rotor. the previous owner couldn't source new rotors to suit, so has new hats mate to suit a common AP rotor that is easy to source. that alone cost more than fly355s offer

Can you measure up the rotor again? Looking at this pic of the caliper mount, it appears as though there is a silver bush between the mount and the caliper, suggesting to me that the kit has more likely been modified to go from a 332mm rotor to a 355mm rotor. OR they were originally a 332mm kit and now run the larger 343mm rotor. Though to my eye the size of the mount suggests to me they are a 355 adaptor, and if those Regamasters are 18" then thats about all the clearance you would get with a 355mm rotor under that rim (I say that because my old Regas did not clear F40s on a 340mm rotor)

Either way they are a durable brake kit.

Hey guys,

They are definately 343mm rotors, and they are spacers under the caliper mounts. They were modded from the 332 to 343 because they guy said he couldnt source new grex rotors so he opted for AP 343mm ones.

And the Rega's are 17's, calipers cleared by 4-5mm.

CP3581-542G8 is the part number on the rotor. according to google that is a 343x32 rotor.

OR they were originally a 332mm kit and now run the larger 343mm rotor.
pretty sure this is the case.

price drop the $2500 anyways whistling.gif

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
