    Default A70/Z20 rear brake upgrade

    ok guys, hope this doesnt break rules of a groub buy but im about to get some brake adapters waterjet cut to adapt a nissan R33/34 gtr 2 pot brembo caliper onto a mk3 supra or z20 soarer with a mk4 jza80 324 x 16mm rotor.

    who else is definitely interested!

    if u "might" be interested then im sorry but dont want to know about it

    brembo calipers go from anywhere between $500-$800 so this isnt going to be your budget upgrade.

    i am yet to get prices on the making of these so please dont ask how much just yet

    here is a gtst caliper mounted to maximise outter rotor contact area. note the whole pad contacts the rotor with this setup.



    and here is the gtr brembo caliper mounted to a custom bracket based of the gtst version. the gtr pad is much larger then the gtst pad yet still uses the full pad/rotor contact area rather then the gtst caliper. best of all still fit under a 16" wheel






    will be getting these cut asap since i need them myself so if your interested, then dont delay

    does the nightpager kit for the front work with the GTR brembos? or only the standard brakes?

    Hey guys, this is a few pics of my car with the factory bodykit front bar which has a wrx lip added. Goes so perfectly with the factory skirts and pods. Problem with it is that the thing will crumble with eaze at the first hit. I reckon if we were able to find somewhere that could make a mould of it and then we can make copies from there. If there is interest from quite a few of us, maybe a group to fund the project. What are your thoughts??


    SORRY, NEED SOME HELP ON POSTING THE PICS. Pic is too large, anyone able to tell me best method to minimize the file size?
