Brembo F40 Help

I recently managed to get a set of F40 Calipers, Brackets and 2 piece disks for a bargain price but I have a few questions about them & they seem more commonly used in Australia than the UK :)

I need a pair of pad retainer clips, any ideas on locating a set? are they the same as any other Brembos?

My kit came with 330MM disks, I have read that the F40 kit goes up to the 365mm disks? is it a case of just buying the bigger disks or does it need different bracketry? 

What brake lines do you use with the kit? Would OEM work or do I need custom lines?

 

Thanks :)

Hi Ian,

A quick google came up with these pins
https://www.lpiracing.com/store/pc/Brembo-Guide-Pin-F40-F50-Caliper-Sold-Each-takes-2-per-caliper-p85055.htm

I have found there's a few different retaining clips for the brembo's similar to this or with a r clip

If you upgrade the disk size it will require new brackets to space the caliper out further.

For brake lines measure the thread in the brembo brake fitting and check against what you currently have. Can generally get a local brake shop to make custom lines or see if HEL do a set

thanks for that :)

 

The issue I have with the brake lines is that I don't currently have any! I bought the car as a rolling shell and it came without brakes so I have nothing to compare with.

I'll probably just buy a couple of fittings and see which ones fit but was hoping someone may know to save me some time :)

Well, FWIW , it will be the same length and car end fitting as any R34 brake line. At the caliper end it will either be a banjo that seals on the caliper face with a copper washer, or a flared fitting that seals on a matching flare surface inside the caliper. If you can't tell which it is just put up a good pic and we can try and check.

For anyone wondering :)

Stock lines work, using my GKTech ABS delete kit lines and they fit.

The only place that advertises they sell the pins and retainers are LPI above & they don't ship outside of the US. All other Brembo suppliers I reached out to either ignored me or couldn't get them. Found a set on Ali Express (Don't judge!) so will try them and see

Further update.

Ali Express parts didn't fit, retainer clip was too short.

Spoke to local Ferrari dealer, They sourced them within a couple of days for me & perfect fit :) Cheaper than LPI too!

 

Genuinely amazed by this haha. nice one

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
