Hey all,

Pulled off my wheels to re-paint the brembos on my 33 GTR and the front driver has a a couple cracks in it.

Wasnt until i started spraying them red that i noticed the cracks. The black covered it up.

Has any one had this happen before?

Whats the chances of getting a single caliper?

Anyone know where to start looking?

Are any other models or different cars even that run the same brembos??

Is it just heat that causes it??

Thanks

As above, looks like it has a fair few layers of paint on it. And usually it's the old paint that shows cracks like that.

The second pic is where the two halves of the caliper are joined together, not a crack :)

not a good result.

i suggest that alarm bells should have been ringing when the bleed nipples, pistons and piston seals were all covered in that shit red paint.

bin.

Edit: did they come on the car or did you buy them. There's a fair amount of meat removed - i personally wouldn't be confident continuing to use these calipers.

Oh no they were black. I didn't notice until I started rubbing back. Again didn't take any notice. I sprayed it red and because of the colour saw the cracking lines. So rubbed it back to metal to find body filler. Got out the hammer and screw driver. Gave it a hit and out popped body filler.

Have since finished the other 3 and they are fine.

Very weird.

Now I have to find just one!

yeah bummer - that's really weird that only one of the front pair is like this.

don't know how you'd go with getting a single; you might need to get a pair and keep the other one for parts if necessary.

plus if you are going to repaint then you don't need something that looks great - maybe you can save some coin there.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
