Nick - That is an amg brembo 6pot setup, and the two calipers are different as
far as we could tell. R35 setup is unique to my car for now. I will also be running
fronts and rears.

I initially believed that leeboy would be able to help me, but once we exchanged
info I realized that we had two completely unique systems. What we do have in
common is that we both designed and machined original bracketry. Unfortunately
I am a dumski and bought the farm size model.

Had I bought the amg setup he could have emailed me CADs for our machinist and
I would have been done in late june ('09) instead of a week ago.

Leeboy built a SICKKKKKKKKKKKKKK car and sold it

I was ecstatic that he was willing to share notes, but alas I foraged uncharted territory.

Let's see what Jalopnik says.

FYI - Esprit japan built an audi tt for a special customer and installed r35 brakes
on it!

I've done so much homework on this it would make you sick.

This includes a conference call with endless-r japan and a translator that dead ended
also....

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo way man what a dumba$$... And great deal for you.

 

It's not really the same setup on Leeboy's though and the OP has already seen that thread and posted in it. He said they are like SL55AMG's or something. They look similar though and very well could practically be the same Brembo caliper.

Edit: not the same caliper per above post.

 

Looks like I was late to the party. LOL

 

I wish leeboy's calipers were the same - I made the mistake of buying my setup without
clarifying. Would have changed the entire economy of the project as t=$...

 

SICK!!!!

 

deposit on rear brake bracket material this week.

i see the light.

 

Can't wait to see this monumental project complete!

 

a year in the making, but still should be incredible when you pull it off

 

the fronts are lonely without the rears...

i am really interested to see what braking distance is from 100-0 &
60-0 (on street tires) when we're done. as it stands the fronts alone
will rip your face off and have proven a tad too "sensitive" in the wet.

the look on people's faces at stoplights, at the gas station, and
frankly anywhere is priceless. the combo of white te's and massive
gold brembo stoppers makes jaws drop.

 

any updates on the rear yet!! Really looking forward to see how you did on the rear!!!

 

soon mang - i am very ready.

 

It seems green goblin will be test fitting a rough bracket this weekend (*maybe)
and hopefully we will cut the finished brackets thereafter. Hopefully 2 more weeks
total and then doneski.

 

Man i have to say love the way this looks as is... +1 OP

 

I have good new...

 

do share

 

well.... apparently gg has the finished rear brackets in hand...

and i am travelling all weekend - so fukkkkkkkkk me.

tune back in mon-tues for a photo update.

 

yays

 

tick tock doc

 

Congrats on getting the fronts done.

I know what it's like to try and piece together your own kit. I bought a set of "350z/g35" brembo calipers off ebay 6 years ago. They bolted up to my G35, but they didn't allow me to fit the OEM 12.6" brembo rotor. I could only fit a 12.1" rotor. So I had to design my own bracket, and I created one out of T6061 aluminum, and had emachineshop.com make it for me. Now I'm running 13.6" two piece floating rotors.

The brackets only cost me $300 shipped to my door, but next time I'm going to just buy a aftermarket kit. I also had to buy a pair of 13" two piece floating rotors from Rotora during this fitment process. If anyone wants a pair of floating rotors for cheap, let me know.
