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

ie: how much further out they sit.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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?

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.

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.

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

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 :D

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

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
