Looking to upgrade my braking setup, but its conditional on being able to sell my existing setup.

Firstly, boredom and having no life other then my car is the main reason for an upgrade :Oops: they function perfectly on my car and on merit dont require replacing

So for sale will be :

- 328 x 30mm slotted 1-pce front rotors x 2. They are about 30,000kms old, have never been machined and operate perfectly, so have plenty of service left in them. Rotors have only been run with RB74 pad, which isnt overly aggressive and doesnt eat up the rotors, hence the good wear eveidnt on the rotors.

- Std Nissan 4 pot front calipers. They were fully rebuilt about 30,000kms ago by Race brakes (who supplied rotors and adaptor to mount the caliper on bigger rotos) Since the rebuild the calipers have only ever been run with AP Racing 5.1 fluid, and is regularly flushed with fresh fluid (overkill?? maybe but they have worked great when at the track so i stick with what i know)

The brake setup has been used about 8-10 times at Eastern and Wakefield, and has never given a moments problem as far as fade or consistancy, even when using R-compund rubber. Even during a little over 20 minutes of lapping Wakefield the brakes weren't even smoking, let alone fading at the end of it....and brakes have always been carefully cooled after runs at the track, hence no warping, vibration etc under brakes and agin, discs have never been machined.

Caliper will come with RB74 pads, about 50% worn, which are only the 2nd set of pads used since the upgrade, which should be an indication of how easily the car is driven day to day.

So is a bolt on proposition for an R32 GTST, pending the extent of my upgrade may be able to provide with braided lines, rebuilt master cylinder and rebuilt brake booster (all 30,000kms ago)

For just the calipers and rotors looking/asking for over $1000. (may also come with braided lines and master cylinder at additional cost...tba)

      I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
