GSR gto brake upgrade

[evo-gsr]

No probs mate...Glad to see you got it happening!!

Hope your not driving too far on that rim in the second pic?? Looks like its had a fair whack??
Also...you serious about only using a 5mm spacer with those wheels? I have a set of those wheels here with machined face...I tried them on once must have been with no spacer and they hit the calipers (Cant remember now!)at least I know they fit now, might be worth keeping them as a spare set for the track....

, If i didnt have to get bigger wheels id be trying to do the gto upgrade to, I might be keen for a group buy

I tell you what, after seeing BRUSHED's setup using larger discs and 3000GT calipers, Im thinking about an upgrade too :lol:
But how difficult is it to come by 3000GT front calipers?

 

[BRUSHED]

Yeah I was told a 5mm spacer but ended up having to use an 8mm and even that is close, but it works

And yeah that hit in the rim is from a pothole in the road, crappy Vic roads

Nissan make callipers very similar dont they? i have a mate with nissan ones on his the adaptor looks very similar?

As for ally adaptors failing if they are made right, out of good ally, you will have no probs we had them on a brake bedding machine under way more heat an stress than you would ever put them under in a car an never had an issue

Apparently the gtr calipers are also good to use

 

[htgsr]

Yea they are the ones look almost identical

i reckon the wrx subie ones are the same to. they are the same bolt pattern as brembo anyways.
i reckon we need the 330mm disc tho to fill them 18s up real nice. pity they so heavy.

the gto ones are sumitomo aswell Im pretty sure the nissan, gto, and subie all run the same pad, i could be wrong tho

Here are the adaptors i have had made up. Im running alcon EVO 4v rotors which i think are 297mm
