Biggest front brake upgrade for RA23/28?

[The Real Roadrunner]

The R33 has a 297mm x 30mm disc...

fixed for you.

im putting 324x30mm on a set of xt130 struts at the moment with r33gtst calipers, all looks good apart from the ms65 hubs that have turned out to be friggin ms85 so the struts are currently getting fitted with shink-on sleeves to suit.


jak, get a friggin parachute coz nuthin is gonna pull that up in a hurry (well not outside of legal speeds anyway)

cheers

how much is that 324mm setup setting you back??

oh the parachute will come, dont worry but this thing is going to be a long time in the build.

What x member are you talking about?

kade said he was after a T xmember for you.
cost on the 324 kit will vary depending on brand/style of disc, cost of calipers, and what style of hubs you run. i can give a price breakdown once finshed,
. it looks like it will go together easy but murphy might jump in and F me up. (he already did last night.

cheers

[jak]

let us know how much it will cost roughly when youre done.

im hoping that murphy dusnt screw u up either, coz this sounds like a good setup.

I used the VL turbo disks for the bigger size, as for the caliper, whatever you want.

You can buy them as blanks so you can put celica stud patturn on it, or better still get your back to 5 stud, many many wheels to suit commo's out there.

Apparently later-model Commodore discs fit on VL's, so if VL discs work you could just as easily use the bigger discs from a VT HSV or something.

I think pov pack (and v8's i think) vn, vp. vr and prob vs are the same size as the VL turbo ones.
Im not sure on the HSV models, i try to avoid knowing too much about holdens.

The R33 has a 297mm x 32mm disc...

whilst i picked you up on the r33 disc being 30mm thick i forgot to mention that the r32 gtr disc is the same dia but 32mm thick.

That would be where the memory pulled the 32mm from then...

at least you were 66% correct just it could have been a model or thickness change.

hmmmm all this talk of models and thickness aint cool

LOL busted! A good friend of mine has a VL turbo and I've spent a great deal of time working on it, so yes I know more about Commorores than I'd care to admit.

[jak]

nothing wrong with knowing about them. might come in handy one day.

but that doesnt stop them form bein shit.

I know a fair bit about Commo brakes so ask me if you need to know anything.
