Hi,

 

I have been looking at different options for brake kits & do not really want to spend the sort of costs of the K Sport / D2 kits as will only be using it on the road & have found a trader doing Wilwood calipers with Brembo discs & fittings who is a trader on SXOC

 

He has a range of options of brake upgrades & has recently done a group buy on SXOC & can supply kits for the Z32 at a similar price if we can do a GB on here.

 

Heres the thread on SXOC: http://www.sxoc.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=489807

 

Any thoughts on if we can try to set this up?! :)

plenty of r34 brembo calipers and discs pads with bolts going for 4 or 500, just enter the skyline forums

I did look at this option but the problem is most of these calipers are getting on a bit now & by the time you allow for a rebuild & a set of decent pads & discs you are looking at the cost of a new brake kit!!

 

I think they are quite overpriced for a second hand pair of calipers!

The seals and piston will still deteriorate over time mate regardless of the make.

Nice find bud!

If anyone's planning a group buy then nows the time, I need new discs and pads all round on my zed!

some one need sto make a batch of the spacers to run 330 discs on standard calipers, for thos eof us with a light wallet.

Ahem.....

They dont look bad at all! The only thing I would say is that traditionally willwood calipers have been expensive/hard to get pads for... However this seems not to be the case with this group buy!

 

I have some D2's, which i got for less than £600 but I was lucky as they were on an auction on ebay... I went down the brembo route (both skyline and evo routines) Basically I came to the conclusion that it was the same money if not more to buy 10 year old+ calipers than brand new kits from D2/K Sport/Wilwood etc.

 

If you could get some evo brembos for £100 (which I did, skyline brembos often £300+) You have to buy:

 

Pads: £100

Disks: £200 at least

Lines: £50

Brackets, need making £50 - £100

Rebuild kit (if you can find them!) is £80 a caliper from memory (£160 in total)

= £660.... for something you have to mess with.

Ok - have resubbed now! :tt2:

This is exactly my point - nearly 10 years ago when I got my zed GT-R brembos were THE upgrade to get, this was when big brake kits were a small fortune & the calipers were from cars only a few years old or so - they were around £500 back then & people are still paying the same price now!

 

For not much more you can get a pair of wilwoods, brackets, fast road pads & brembo discs with braided hoses to attach them!!

 

Now the company selling them did say the calipers are not too much bigger than standard but with them being brand new & with larger 345mm discs they should be an excellent upgrade for most people out there & around £300 cheaper than D2/K-sport kits.

 

He also does the discs with caliper brackets to mount standard calipers too.

 

He said if I can get 5+ people then he will do the prices listed on the SXOC thread with kits for our Z32

 

Anyone interested :)

ps - he can also do K-sports for £870 on a GB too.

 

The thread also shows a thundering brembo "bigfoot" upgrade - sadly he says they will not fit our cars due to the hub mounting points being slightly different & not enough clearence so ignore those (sadly as they look bloody fantastic!)

Gutted I just bought new front pads and discs a couple of days ago -_-

May be interested..

Is anyone running Willwoods on here at the moment? Any views?

I asked this the other day - only one reply: http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=149222

How many pistons do the willwood calipers have?

 

just looking at figures and value

 

D2 do 356mm as well
