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

    • So, before putting them in I need to understand the stock ride height. This is how I measured it: First, check the diameter of the wheel's centre cap, it was 52mm. Then put a piece of masking tape approximately across the centre and measure 27mm (half) from at least 3 sides to get a reasonable idea of the centre of the wheel cap. Mark that with a horizontal line as one measuring point. Then, directly above the wheel on the guard, put another piece of masking tape in approximately the centre. Use a string line to find out the point on the guard above the centre of the wheel cap and mark that. Then it is simple, just a tape measure to check the distance from centre of the wheel to the centre of the guard. Final results where  LF: 381mm RF: 379mm LR: 401mm RR: 400mm Pretty even considering they are 120,000klm old factory springs, lets call that 380 front and 400 rear.
    • So....knowing that I have a problem with power steering temps on track and another Wakefield day booked in next Friday, I've done the obvious thing They are very reasonably priced at $1650, considering they are a big monotube shock, double height adjustable (don't have to change pre-load to change ride height), one way adjustable damping and standard sized and customisable springs if you want something other than what comes with them. They come with 9kg/mm front and 4.5kg/mm front and I went with that as a starting point because I'll add adjustable sway bars too https://justjap.com/products/bc-racing-coilover-kit-ds-ds-infiniti-q50-v37-14-current#description Unfortunately they didn't come with rear strut tops so I've re-used the factory ones which was a bit of a pain. Also, the adjuster for the rear shock will be an absolute nightmare to get at, and while there are extensions in the kit I can't see any way you can actually attach or use them
    • I also had 2 bulbs blow at once, years ago in the stagea. made for a fun drive home. The issue was the voltage regulator had failed in the alternator and it was giving 15+ volts. Really, I was lucky all that was fried were the headlight bulbs. So, I'd suggest you check the voltage across your battery terminals with the car running and warmed up. Yes, you will need a multimeter to do so, sorry.
    • Good work to think to check that, and thanks for coming back to post up the outcome.
    • Given it happened suddenly, and when you come on boost, I'd check all your inlet - hose clamps in place and no split rubber or silicone hoses. Even the hard to get to ones near the intercooler. It's possible air that went past the air flow meter is being dumped out a big hole.
