Yeh, i dont htink the piston orientation is correct...i want to ring and check with John when i get a minute.

Harrop make setups for whatever you want, they are radial moutn calipers so you can do just about whatever you want with them...thig is are they worth the $4,000-5000?

that will be a shame if the porsche ones can't be used as they are only around $1600 a set BRAND NEW! very cheap for such awesome calipers.

EDIT: just realised i'm about the 5th person to mention the price of the pork calipers. just ignore me.

And another thing you should check before buying these sorts of calipers is the availability of pads. You may find that you have to run a pad like DS3000s which are not only noisy, but quite aggressive on the rotor.

I've got ds3000's currently in 33 GTR brembo's and find that if you use them a bit on the street they quieten down alot once you get some street wear on them. Go do a few high speed stops (100-0) and then they clean themselves back up again and are there usual squeeky selves :D

Guys, I've just been having a chat to Hyper-Tech in Nunawading - they make the CSC brake kits...

If you're interested they have a special on 4 piston CSC brake kits for GTR with 355 x 32mm two piece discs for $2200.

The engineer is an ex-Harrop lead developer. I am waiting for some more info on them, so will post something up when I hear.

:)

See how the caliper doesnt have the bleed lines and recirc lines connected. I htink thats so you can use it on either the front or rear of the rotor and still ensure the smaller pitons leads and larger pistons trails.

So i still suspect you may be able to swap them around on the GT3 calipers.

If he can also do a CSC 4 pot , 343mm rotor, then id be VERY INTERESTED:)

Almost guaranteed that he can... I have some PDF flyers too (too large to attach, so I've emailed it to your work mate)...

May be cheaper too :)

Talk to Arnold at Hyper-Tech

I would like to try them out, but need some rims first...

Also, I don't see how it would make a difference if you swap the bleed lines for the calliper. All it does is to connect the L&R of the calliper to show equal pressure for the pistons??

How do you find rotor wear?  Im noticing going from the old RB74s to Comp 9s that i have noticeably more wear on the rotors after only about 1,500 road kms and 4 track days, and Comp 9s arent as racey as DS3000s:(

It's nothing flash, but once you get a bit of crap built up it seems to slow the wear rate down. I am using projct Mu 2 peice rotor's though so that could also be a factor.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
