Nice .... congrats

 

yep, best brembo makes.

 

So what's the difference betwen these and the GT-R brakes as per the sales rep?

 

Don't care if they are OEM or after market. They are hot!

 

the rep said they are better built. that the brembo's on the GTR are OEM brembo, that these are a better performing brake setup. that the aftermarket brembo is not the same as OEM brembo. id have to ask exact specifics.

 

That's what people want to know. If you post on here saying that they are better, you gotta say how. Just because they are aftermarket, dosen't really make em better. Gotta post specs to prove they are better. And will they really give you an advantage unless you are making Grand Touring horsepower and speed? One member posted that topping out at 180 on a track, 4 piston front and rears with upgraded rotors was all he needed.

I'm not calling you out because if I had the money to buy em I would just to drive to work and back.

 

I'd ask for specifics if I were sepnding that cash! They are likely forged from a stronger alloy for extra stiffnes. The only countries that can work this alloy are Japan and those in Europe. China or Taiwan can't produce this product. I have a write up about monoblocks in my blog....

Monoblock Caliper Article

 

Not the best that they make.... the best they make for the Z.

These are the best! $3500 per caliper.

 

Great write-up Jet. That article is very informative with plenty of data to back it up.

Would be nice to see some graphs that show the effects of increased elasticity as aluminum heats up and its effect on braking power, especially using some real world data.

Edit:
Did alil more research on this and if anyone is interested in reading here are some M.E. research papers

http://soar.wichita.edu/dspace/bitst...0/1/t05037.pdf (Thermal Analysis of Caliper)
Interesting note in the second paper the author talks about using a Titanium backing plate on the pads to reduce heat transfer to calipers

 

wow just wow !

 

very good read. thanks for sharing

 

Unless you fade your current brakes every time you track, or boil your brake fluid, there is no need for upgraded brakes.

But those look freaking hot. Post installed pics ASAP...

 

great article... how to spot 2 piece caliper vs 1 piece caliper with naked eyes? is the 2 piece has more bulge based on the pics you posted?

 

^ bolts

 

S-w-e-e-t brakes! I need to get me some. too.

 

what about the bolts? im confused

 

Beautiful. Can't wait to see installed pics!

 

Geez, I would love to have OEM brembos! Be thankful you didn't get the stock Nissan brakes on your car originally. There are certainly a lot of ballers on this site that can afford the nice toys! Nice looking stuff for sure.

 

Seriously?

 

+1 I can't even go on a canyon run and push my car for 10 min without brake fade up to the point where I push down the pedal and nothing happens Scary stuff, I need an upgrade
