2G ?'s on 3000gt brakes on a 2G DSM...

Avefenix: No Bracket? What caliper 1gvr4 or 2gvr4? What rotors did you use then?
Thanks

2slow: TunerNation doesn't exist anymore. Any other vendor? Why the use of gs350 rotors? Size?

If he didn't use a bracket, he must be using SL calipers, witch are basically GSX dual piston calipers.

I just looked it up! I can't believe they closed up. Anyone know how to get a hold of Garfield? What happened?

I used the 2007 Lexus GS 350 rotors because of minimum milling and caliper placement. I had to cut out the hub bore and a light shave on the inside for the hub flange for clearance and that was it. Easy lathe work. They matched my O.D. spec 13.15, bolt circle pattern, rotor thickness was identical, and the hat height helped push the caliper closer to the inside to allow more wheel spoke clearance.

# of Bolt Holes : 5
Bolt Circle Diameter : 4.5"
Brake Rotor Diameter : 13.15"
Brake Rotor Discard Thickness : 1.06"
Brake Rotor Thickness New : 1.18"
Center Hole Diameter : 2.44"
Height : 2"

You might be right. The previous owner did this upgrade, and they are dual piston calipers but man this car stops on a dime, too quick actually. It was part of the ad for when I bought the car, however when the pads were replaced they were for a Mitsubishi 3000GT I don't know if that helps...

How can one tell the diferences between the 1g calipers and 2g calipers?

If your talking the 3000gt vr4 TT calipers this should help. http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/newbie-forum/400681-how-do-i-identify-vr4-calipers.html

I have tried to sift through all the stuff but i can not find anything helpful on this at all. Has anyone been able to get rotors and calipers from a 3000gt SL or VR4 (specify please) onto a 2G DSM? What modifications need to be done, is it a bolt on upgrade? Thanks in advance.

You could go here tunersnation.com and Garfield has the brackets. If you are wanting a over the top set of calipers I have a front set that are basically new. New powder coating in Lolly Pop and boy do they pop, all new seals and re-greased pistons. Like I said basically new.

Will 2g brake lines work on these calipers?

I'm going to have to look into this RTK kit for my 2G. I always find new information on this site everyday.

What is rtk?

What is rtk?

Really tight kicks... Haha, its the manufacturer of some of the brackets that let you put the 3KVR4 brakes on 2Gs.

Yup listen to this guy. I have the dual piston and they bolt right on with my 16" wheels. but tbh I didn't fit the rotor I just wanted to see if they bolted on so I tried it out and was confirmed.

the brackets needed for the swap are pretty spendy... i have a buddy here in oregon that can make em for half the cost from shop.. pm if interested
