mx83 brake upgrade; my pics

[amichie]

Could someone measure this:

The bolt spacing for the R33/32 caliper.

And maybe the gap between those bolting area and the disc brake, so we can see if this will work on other cars (other than MA61's).

Caliper Bolt spacing is 100mm.

Hey Southo. I just noticed you've lost the grease nipple from your lower ball joint.

15 inch rims will clear the brakes - but not any 15s that will fit the Cressida offset, so far as I'm aware. I've always used the Nissan calipers in preference to RX7 and Hilux ones, and found them to be much nicer pieces of gear.

and very easy to get decent jap brake pads for them too

I just gave a couple of MX83 stuts to Menty. I'm certain he didn't need both since he only bent the strut on one side. Send him a PM. His name is Kevin.

in_05_nt: can you please measure the inside diameter of the ba falcon rotor for me. not the centre hole but the inner diameter of the rotor itself that goes over the hub..
I am hoping it is 16cms or greater.
and for those looking for the dimensions of the caliper (screamin_sleeka), i measured them a while ago along with old_corolla's help

Just a note to others,
JZZ30 16 X 7" rims with +50 offset DO NOT fit over the calipers. Looking for some stock 16's now.

Can someone please tell me if R32 GTR calipers are the same as R33 GTST ? simply will they work with the XR6T rotors?

[big_zop]

Pretty much - the R32 GT-R originally suit a 32mm disc and the R33 GTST are 30mm but both have been used on the upgrade successfully.

As for the discs, make sure they are the 298mm disc - as the BF upgraded to 322mm fronts on the Turbo/V8 model Falcons

Hey guys after doing this upgrade over the weekend I've gotten a massive vibration through the steering wheel. It comes and goes though oddly enough but it's there most if the time. The rotors have been machined aswell, so I dint beleive it to be te rotors. Has anyone else had this happen to them ? And anyone with any ideas on what it might be ???

[ra28_miles]

Jack the car up and try wobbling the wheel. See if there is excess movement. maybe get your wheels balanced. Its something you've forgotten to do up, always is.

could be a dead wheel bearing also just letting go
