They don't have all the parts for a GTiR calliper either; I think I wanted new slider pins, and they said they don't make them... but they've got the entire seal kit and new pistons so you can ~90% rebuild a calliper.

Are they not massive overkill on a car the weight of a pulsar? Even a track car with 500bhp+ I would have thought would be OK with a 330x28mm disc with someting like a brembo 4 pot monoblock and a 300mm rear disc. Seems like alot of unsprung weight by the time you factor in the 365mm discs they were designed to work with.

Cheers. I'm sure the car will perform fine once get them fitted. Back to the matter at hand no one know if a place I can get seals from? Really don't want to go vw. And has anyone used the nut an nipple method ?

Kidest regards

Have you had a quote from Audi/VW yet? I find that parts for my S3 aren't as bad you expect

 

[Greygtir]

I'll bell them on Monday to get a quote

Depends on bhp and what the car is going to be used for i suppose. Most wrc cars are about the same weight as a gti-r and in tarmac spec will be running upto 380mm discs and 8 pot calipers on the front and 300mm with 4 pots on the rear and thats with around 330bhp.

Yes and watercooled and start at about 700 a corner already looked at them. And it's not a half hearted fast road car
