View Full Version : BIG brake upgrades
300mm+ disk conversions
Whats the best way to do this? What calipers do i use etc? I want the biggest disks possible under my 18's!
What about rears? can they be increased too?
Cheers for any help in advance...

i think ive seen an add in total vaux for vectra v6 conversion.
deff big brakes tho
check out total vaux
the cheapest way m8 is to go to your local machinest he can make brakets so you use your existing 16v/v6 calipers and space them to what ever mm you want then just buy the disk from ie ap or brembo or unless you are a rich git (u must be u have a personal plate)
ap discs-vented from 295mm-325 ??105 or 328mm-366 :o ?165

Skyline :twisted: , we got them from a local scrappy :o . The Skyline was a stolen recovered, but when it was recovered it was missing a couple of things :lol: (engine, gearbox, interior, doors, boot and windows). I had the back bumper off it :D . The Skyline was mint there wasn't a spot of rust on it, just a small dent on the rear quarter.
Matt :D
got any plans for the bumper matt?

bet skylines harder to nick than nova!

Fuckin ell, Skyline in a scrappy, all i ever find is fucked metro's and astras/novas :lol

I seen a RX7 and 2 MR2's at my local scrappy before, as for the bumper I did think of cut and shut it to the flying machine but it would look stupid so I just got in the garage.

My local scrappy is a bit weird you can go there and they will have a skyline, MR2 and RX7 and NO NOVA's. Then you go the next week and there is a GSi and SRI there :roll:
