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. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

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) http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/showthread.php?t=82362 They can help out with DBA rotors too. Standard, slotted, 4000 series club sport and 5000 series 2 piece race rotors.

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.

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.

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

Ah well then i doubt the skyline calipers will fit without wheel spacers, would clear 16s though..

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 ?

Cold VL - The VE Brembo use a 355mm diameter disk. If the hub was machined out to suit the earlier hubs the the disc may well fit

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. ******* Nissan caliper brackets on special $230 delivered, normally $280. Limited stock. *******
