GReddy/GRex brake system replacements

Hi All,

Needing new brake pads and possibly even brake discs for my car.

I have a set of GReddy 6 pot Calipers with 355mmx32 brakes on the front, and GRex 4 pot 330mmx26 brakes on the rear on my R34 GT-R. These are NOT the alcon branded brakes, they are the ones seen here:

Fronts: https://www.nengun.com/greddy/6pot-brake-system

Rear: https://www.nengun.com/grex/brake-system

These kits and any replacement GReddy branded replacement discs and pads etc. are no longer in production.

I am wondering anyone else that runs this brake setup has replaced their brake pads with non-GReddy parts and if so, what fits?

Also, if anyone has had to replace their discs what fits, or did you have to get them custom made?

I have searched the interwebs and have found very little information regarding these brakes. Some say they are made by Rotora in the US (at least for USDM GReddy).

Other posts have mentioned that the front disc is a copy of the 355 x 32 Brembo rotor so the Brembo is a straight fit.

Calipers may be a copy of or even made by AP Racing...

So hopefully someone out there has been through replacing these parts and knows 100% what will or won't fit.

Thanks,

Paul

They look like the same as the AP 6 pot/G4/Attkd/D2 whatever pads to me....like GTSboy said trace them and see.  

Discs look harder since they are 10 bolt (m6?) and obviously we can't guess the PCD from a pic. Measure the offset and check them against the DBA catalogue to see if anything else will fit? Very likely you will have to change the hats as well, not just the rings

I suggest talking to Matt at RaceBrakes in Wetherill Park, he will be able to work out what does or does not fit.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2

      Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
