AE86 Brake Upgrade - Nissan style

[oldcorollas]

larger pistons, larger disc... might be close...

edit: easily calculate by working out the piston area and the radius of the middle of the brake pads...
maybe radius/piston area proportion?

RA40 setup will come later.
One thing at a time.

RA40 setup will come later.
One thing at a time.

i thought RA40 had same brakes as AE86? they mount on to a plate that bolts onto the strut with 4 bolts close to the stub axle? (displays ignorance of dorifto hardware)?

[barned01]

yeah that's what i was alluding to, i thought the caliper bracket system between the 86 and 40 struts was similar
but if the 40 is coming later than that's fine also as i am still struggling to find the r33 calipers for a price i am willing to pay (or swap for the RX7 s4/5 calipers i have sitting here)

[CrUZida]

Its similar, but the PCD of the caliper bracket system is different, so the adaptor will require tweaking.

What size rotors are the Z32/R32 calipers compatible with? Will you make the adaptor to fit bigger discs?

The Z32 caliper goes with the Z32 280mm disc.

You can also use the R33 caliper with the R33 disc (296mm)
or the GTR caliper with the GTR disc (324mm)

Or the R34 caliper with the 310mm rotor

im very interested, rear mount option i think. so i buy your adaptors and go out and grab some r32 disks and calipers, sort the brake lines out and posibly a bias issue and im good to go?

[CrUZida]

Something to that nature yes.

[TwentyTwo]

Whats an average sort of price range for R33 disks and calipers?

[CrUZida]

$250 ish for Z32 calipers, $300ish for R33 calipers.
$110 for new RDA Z32 disc, $150 for R33 disc.
$200 for Greenstuff pads.
$80 for caliper rebuild kits.

[slide86]

between 200-400 buck depending the condition and the person selling them. i picked up my callipers for 200 and they had some near new "green stuff" pads in them. not bad i thought

Check out www.nissansilvia.com

Usually some on there....

[Rallystanza]

Does anyone have some measurements of the R33 setup? Edge of disc to outer edge of caliper?? I am trying to work out if they will fit under my 15" wheels.

Thanks guys,

Jeremy

soooo good..
do you know if this setup will be a bitch to get engineered though?

[CrUZida]

This should easily be engineerable, providing you still retain the dust shields.

Obviously every engineer is different, but i'm 99% sure it would be fine for my engineer, provided its in Bisalloy, hi-tensile bolts, and niloc nuts.

I'll take a rear mount kit.
