Not sure if anyone is interested;

I have a pair of Cad plated steel R32 GTS-t caliper offset brackets to suit 350Z rotors; High tensile bolts and all mounting hardware.

I bought them to do an upgrade on my Stagea; but ended up going R34 GT-t 310mm; so I don't need these.

Paid $100 from the US, but I was hoping to get around $60 (plus postage) they are unused; only trial fitted to a caliper to check clearances.

Feel free to PM if you'd like some pics.

GK tech now make these adapters BTW:

Good value, shame there is no option for 34GTT though to go to bigger rotors :(

I downloaded a free cad program and had a couple of mild steel brackets laser cut for my car, std caliper 310 to 324.

This lets me run some local 2 piece gtr rotors for track days - x3e brand.

These are heavy brackets with only a 7mm radial increase, but alloy hats should reduce the weight and be better at dissipating heat.

I haven't fitted them yet, as need to sort out how to secure the hard brake line.

A better option would be to use 330x32 rotors, but this needs too much modification to the sumitomo caliper, ie. a 2mm packing spacer, longer caliper bolts, longer retainer clip pins + sourcing longer internal brake fluid gallery o-rings.

Will post pics when sorted.

No they don't. Those are to suit R32, Z32 and S13/14/15. R33 is different as the calliper legs are to suit a 296mm, not 280mm.

Nice one! Will wait for pics and results :thumbsup:

I am finally going down this path..... Using 350mm Evo rotors with Evo callipers, are there any downsides to doing a brake kit with adapters? I assume an engineer can check and pass them for road use? (They state offroad use only but i guess an engineer may be able to pass them if they meet requirements?)

I am a brake noob so any advice would be good :D

I've just bought a set of rda slotted gtr rotors to try with my caliper adapters, just waiting for my dba 4000s to wear down before I upgrade.

Now, after using the standard gtt brakes on a racetrack winton/sandown, they hold up pretty well with the right pads and ducting - I still need more air though as rims are very hot.

Maybe you should give this a go then go bigger if not happy - if your tracking.

Sorry guys, we have had a million things going on and are literally working 80-100 hour weeks.

Just this week the design of our rear knuckles was signed off (350 hours or so in the design) and we're now working on R32/R33 knuckles. In doing that, we've got an R33 knuckle (aka upright) sitting here and I'll get it measured up in the coming days.

There is a VERY good chance that the brackets will be $99/pair with fasteners. We'll machine them out of 7075-T5 for some extra strength and unlike the UAS brackets we also run thread inserts.

A few install pictures of our S14/S15/R32 brackets can be seen here: http://www.skylinesa...ost__p__6549940

To keep up to date, check out our facebook page here as we'll post up about an intro price there (probably $79/pair): http://www.facebook.com/gktech

Apart from Unique Autosports does anybody else make the brake caliper adapters to go from 296mm to 324mm rotors?

These are to use the stock GTST calipers with the larger GTR rotors (going to use the 2-piece ATTKD rotors I think).

If not I guess I'll just have to fork out the $350 for the adapters.

didnt read the whole thread but holford motors make a kit with the mounts and rotors for $330

No. These are effectively the same as all the others out there. They suit changing from 280mm rotors to 324mm. They do not suit upgrading R33 296mm rotor/caliper setups to 324mm rotors.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
