Here are a few pics of my brake upgrades I have done on my VH.
Using factory parts like this is a good way of doing budget brake upgrades.
I'd like to be able to afford a set of AP brakes but like most people I can't so I did this conversion and im VERY happy with the performance and a cost almost a third of the price of AP's!
It took me alot of mucking around making templates and get them cut out 100% by the laser cutters but it was worth it!
First off I had R32 GTSt calipers/ VT 296x28mm discs.
I now have R32 GTR calipers / VT 330x32mm discs
Also nearly finished rears:
Here is a pic of Brembo's off an EVO 7 Lancer with 330x32 discs.

dude - can you get those adaptors cut up for the VT/R32 GTST combo again for cheap?
the VH struts and brake mounts are the same as VL ones right, so that stuff would bolt up to a VL as well i guess. that's excellent!

Yeah fits VB-VP with the VT conversion hub and VT 296mm disc.

hey thanks for the pm man - i thought i'd ask this here so other people can get the answer too.
i know the discs are relatively cheap (depending on what brand, drilled, slotted etc) but what the hubs worth and where do you get em from?

Hubs are $230pr from Race Brakes Sydney ('LAZYASS' on the forum)

They can help out with DBA rotors too.
Standard, slotted, 4000 series club sport and 5000 series 2 piece race rotors.

16-03-12, 22:09 GMT+10#13 do the VT/R32 GTST upgrade fit under a standard 15" steel rim?
Also do you have any info on the rears?
need to find something that fit the 15" rim because I'm running dirt tyres.

16-03-12, 22:17 GMT+10#14 Im pretty sure matt does an RX7 4 piston which fits under 15's, which i am also going to be interested in sometime down the track this year.

16-03-12, 22:42 GMT+10#15 I've already got the VT setup with new rotors on there so I don't see much point going back to a smaller disc

16-03-12, 22:54 GMT+10#16 Ah well then i doubt the skyline calipers will fit without wheel spacers, would clear 16s though..

22-03-12, 22:03 GMT+10#17 Hi VHR32....
The bracket you have for the brembo brakes, would that also suit the brembo caliper from a VE redline? The reason I ask is the calipers and disks for a ve are selling for about $1000atm from a few differnt places
Do you use the VN GTS disk or something different ?

22-04-12, 22:26 GMT+10#19 I didn't make a bracket for the brembos, sold them before I got around to it. I doubt it would have fitted the VE ones anyway- these calipers were Evo Lancer versions.
