R35 GT-R Brembo Conversion / Adapter Kit

R35 GT-R Brembo Adapter / Conversion Kit

Made in Australia

 

Why us?

Alpha Omega Racing has specalised in Nissan Skyline and Nissan Silvia brakes for over 12 years – check out our other options like the R35 Killers and EVO Brembo. We use CNC machines with the famous “7075” military grade alloy, heat treated to the optimal T6 specification. Combining the highest grade 12.9 fasteners – which is higher than OEM – together with engineering washers, we anodise the billet in our signature Sun Silver which does not hide imperfections; every detail of our work is on display.

Don’t be fooled into believing that a softer material like 6061 is safer because it will bend first. Whilst it will bend first, it will also break first lol

The way we’ve engineered this kit utilises more material for more strength and more rigidity – rigidity being key to responsive firm brakes (a softer material  like 6061 will give you a softer pedal) and added nice touches like the smoothed edges and generous radii to minimise stress risers.

Bolt on + No cutting + Better handling

Except the dust shield, we’ve engineered it so you DON’T cut or modify anything! The Alpha Omega Racing R35 GT-R Brembo conversion is 100% bolt-on.

Look closely and you will notice the parts are asymmetrical – another unique Alpha Omega feature – the caliper is lowered to the perfect 3/9 o’clock position for:

1. Lower centre-of-gravity
2. Reduced pad-knockback
3. Better looks

Win win win!

OPTIONAL: Handbrake

The R35 GT-R’s handbrake size is too big to work with the smaller ones found in the R34 / R33 / R32 Skyline, so we’ll need to reduce it. Simple! It boiled down to two options:

• New hats / new bells in aluminium
  • Pros = lighter, easier installation
  • Cons = many…
    • Aluminium is the worst choice for a friction material
    • It wears out extremely quickly (that’s why the OEM part is steel)
    • Expensive
    • Installation requires a new expensive bobbin kit; one pair from AP Racing costs $411
    • You’re locked into using only one rotor brand forever
• Billet high-carbon steel drum handbrake inserts
  • Cons = weight, harder installation
  • Pros = heaps…
    • Fits all rotor brands
    • Fits all rotor styles
    • Fits new and used rotors
    • Cheap
    • The best choice as a friction material (that’s why all drums are made of steel)
    • Will outlast the rotors themselves

For this application, the informed choice is to use billet steel inserts; purposely oversized so it’ll fit everything including brand new and used.

These billet high-carbon steel drum handbrake inserts “rings” are optional.
