Any idea how much more wheel clearance is needed in comparison to stock 32 GTR callipers?

ie: how much further out they sit.

[Raysboostin]

Yes they do mate, if you click "EXPAND WINDOW" like i instructed - you get further information for each kit.

Refer attached screen shot:

Yes i tried the "expand window" button and it just takes me back to the D2 home page.

[Raysboostin]

Ash, I think hes talking about the options listed on the D2 site. They say you can get sport or race pads with the set.

Yes thats exactly what i meant.

[R31Nismoid]

Ray - Maybe try a different browser - it has the info you want, i dont want to clutter the first post with "too" much info

As for Pad - just specify here which you want, ill make sure you get it

Updated first post to reflect it!

Yeah good question - don't know the answer but they certainly sit out much further compared to factory so those with really dished wheels and respective offset will likely have issues. I'll try and find out exactly how much but it will be hard as each wheel is different.

Most people that would be upgrading brakes wont be running heavy/dished rims with 5cm+ of dish for instance so its kinda your own enemy in that regard.

TE37, SA90, LMGT-4, XD-9 as examples are all perfectly fine in 18" to give you an idea

[Andy-J]

If you need more technical advice about the kits message me and ill get the information you require..

[Deano 1]

XD9 are pritty dished with a +18 offset

Hi Nismoid,

As if i'm not spending enough money at the moment, then this tasty little group buy comes along .

I'm keen for a price on the 356mm kit front and rear also?. Car is a 96 r33 gtst

thanks mate.

also wondering if the rear kits are 8 pot also?

Good work getting this together Ash, they are excellent brakes and this is a great price. I have bought 3 sets over the years for different cars including racing with them at Targa Tas, they are great for the money

They actually need less clearance to wheel spokes than 33gtst/32 gtr calipers, they are a little narrower. They are a larger diameter disc of course

[Dahtone Racing]

If you're 110% sure on that Duncan, I'm in on the group buy.

Ive got 18" BBS LMs and they clear my stock calipers by about 5mm

[R31Nismoid]

Anthony - If you are in then let us know the colour/pad type and you'll be first on the list

Awesome news - I didn't check my R33 brake difference when i swapped as i knew there wouldn't be problems.

Thanks for that info - will help others no doubt.

believe they are 4-pot

[Dahtone Racing]

As soon as Duncan tells me he's 110% sure they don't stick out more than stock I'll PM you.

Can you find out if they can do anodised red?

[R31Nismoid]

I believe other colours can be done, but at additional cost. I'll see if it's possible via the GB. Might not be given it's meant to be a bulk order type of thing.

[Duncan]

Yep I'm sure these sit in a mm or 2 slimmer than 32 gtr/33gtst brakes. I changed from 32 gtr to d2 and was able to ditch my spacers (was still damn close, but more space). Anf, pm sent.

I'm surprised more people aren't jumping at this. These brakes have been extensively proven by myself and others over the years. I ran mine at Targa Tas and for a season's racing, and I know the Just Jap and Donut King 32s have been running them at rallies for years too. And I've been using these on my rb30 stagea, and I had them on my 350z as well.

[beenowened]

The race pads that you can kit in the kit are they still alright for the street? or are they a really aggressive pad.

The car isn't my daily so it doesn't get driven that much on the road

[Dahtone Racing]

f**k it put me on the list Ash, street pads for me cause I'm a girl and don't race my car LOL

Also let me know about the colour, if anodised red is a no go just get me what ever they come standard with.

Best info yet!

I too am surprised not as many as on, but it does take time for people to read threads... Pricing is cheap as cheap gets really. $500 off a $2300 item (with ADR lines) - it really doesn't get any better.

I can't comment on how noisy the Race Pad will be or how aggressive. Maybe someone else out there has used them before and can comment.

I have used the street pad and it was certainly reasonable. Not as good as a Ferrodo DS2500, but given it came with the kit it certainly wasn't rubbish and took a fair amount of punishment which actually surprised me as I expected less

Will find out and let you know in a week or so (off to SAU Nats as of Tues).

You do have a choice if not (RE: Red), options are in the first post

I had purple, IMO it looked great on a MNP GTR

I've never used the race pads, but the "sports" one have been fine for daily use, for rally use, and for track use.

[beenowened]

yeah put me down for a front 356mm kit for a 33.

I will just get the street pad

[R31Nismoid]

What colour Owen? (first post has standard options)
