I have an R32 GTR - with R33 GTR front Brembos.
It has dba5000 discs and when I bought her 2 months ago - the brake pads were shot and braking was hard work on the drive home.
I put a new set of Ferodo ds2500 in and the brakes improved 'VERY' slightly!!!
there is minor heat cracking on the discs (only like hairline marks - looks like a dry desert floor) a specialist told me these discs are invinsible but another said to change them)
I've just ordered some dba4000 discs ( as I wont be tracking her like the previous owner) and was told to order R32 discs.
They have come and cost me £300 - tried to fit them last night and they are too small - fit on the hubs fine but the pads are way out - only covers the outer inch or so of the disc.:bawling:
Does this mean ~I need R33 discs and if so will the fit the hubs???????
Will this solve the problem of poor braking - and when I say poor I mean - It feels like I'm trying to stop the car with bread for pads and goldfish for discs!!!) no good as I'm running 6oobhp.:thumbsup:
Help - I'm good with alot of stuff but breaking isn't one of them....
reply or even call if you have some pearls of wisdom or if I'm missing something obvious.
Cheers
