I remember a while ago there was a thread in here regarding brake upgrades for R32 GTRs. It had a link to some F50 Brembos and another set of brakes from Nismo I think. The post said "get these (link)".

Does anyone still know what the links were? I've done a search but can't find them.

Gav - One of the guys that set up CSC used to work for Harrop, so similar ideas I'm sure, but for very tidy prices in compara. Steve Glenny used the four piston 350mm kit front and rear on his R33 GT-R N1 in Targa a few years ago. There is also a 380kW R33 GTR down here that runs on the track in Targa Class that has the same 350mm kit front and rear.

That was enough for me so thats what I've got coming!

Agree - looks the part.

Any links to CSC? Where are they made?

I totally warped a set of newly bedded of DBA 5000 Slotted 330mm (which are actually 324mm!) discs on my standard 4 piston Brembos within three stages at Rallye Burnie this year... such a small disc is not highly rated in my book on a heavy car like a GTR.

I just put on the 324mm DBA 4000's on my gts-t

Fair enough, personaly I'd want monobloc calipers before I'd start stressing about a slightly longer pad and two extra small pistons when your talking 343mm/355mm rotors.

But there is a bit of evidence going around that monobloc calipers arent as robust as good 2 piece calipers... if you were throwing a set away mid season then the monoblocs seem to be the go as they are rigid and light, but over many high heat cycles and mechanical loads there is a bit of evidence around that they will begin to deflect more then 2pce calipers.

There is reason to believe that the steel bolts in the bridge make for a more rigid caliper then the aluminium used in the bridge of a monobloc caliper.

As for the 6, 8 crazy 16 piston (yes Alcon make them) calipers a well designed four piston calipers will always distort less for a given piston area than an equivelant six piston caliper designed for the same rotor size and wheel clearance

INASNT - My old Brembo's and 324s are now an a GTSt (track - edit)car and work a treat. Very good upgrade for a GTSt... and we even made them fit under OEM GTR 16" rims!

Roy - I've read similar and considered there might be something in it, but with so many front running FIA GT, Le Mans, SCCA Sports Cars and many of cateogries using them, I figured if teams like that who seach for hundreds, not tenths of a second advantage, monobloc must be the ducks.

      R34 GT-T cycling ABS pump

      The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.

      Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.

      Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using.

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.

      Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
