313mm GTO brakes first fitment - pics

Postby Mitsumaniac » Mon Oct 04, 2010 11:51 am

Hi lads,
Just wanted to show you how they look like 8)
Obviously the main problem were caliper brackets but they are sorted now and I`ll try to fit new brakes soon.
Pics are just first fitment to see if everything is ok with the brackets but as you see - no probs. :)
Cost?

GTO TT 4 pot polished calipers - 130 euro - eBay
313mm GTO brake discs - 160 euro - camskill
Brake pads (OEM for a now) - 20 euro - camskill
2xBrake caliper repair kit - 40 euro - camskill
Hel braided brake hoses - 50 euro - FTO Ireland for sale section
brake caliper brackets - 0 euro - home made :D
Total - about 400-420 euro, not bad :)

Interesting detail - did you know that GTO TT 4 pot calipers are Brembo B series made for Mitsubishi?

I'm liking those brakes - nice combo with the OZ rims and T1R's.
A pic of the front of the FTO (side on) getting in the wheels and tyres would be nice.
These would be a big selling point for me on an FTO.

Thanks guys,
I just put them on the car to try if my bracket fits, so can`t say anything about performance yet. Awaiting caliper repair kits from camskill now so hopefully will fit everything next weekend.

I don`t know TBH... I`ll have to spray them in high temp. clear lacquer anyway to keep that shiny look permanently.

350Z has a 5 x 114.3 hub - I'm pretty sure it wouldn't take much work to get the Zeds 4 pot brembos and discs to fit.

Heres mine - (Any opportunity to whore my car - :mrgreen:)
