Brake Adapters - Gtst

[mutex]

I contacted gktech end of march and got the impression this adapter wasn't going to happen.

[Daleo]

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.

Im currently selling a pair of these from uas, i have the rda 324 mm rotors for sale too. Rotors have less than 1000km o n them. Thanks

400 for the lot

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

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

Why use the Evo calipers...do a search

Flicked you a PM

I to would like to know. I known they tend to warp easy.

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

Man I hope these come soon. I'm SERIOUSLY due for new pads and rotors on the front. Would love to buy the 324mm rotors.

[Frosty]

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.
