Wtd: GQ 2 pot calipers and rotor

[Craydiver]

Im after GQ 2 pot front calipers,rotors and bolts.
the 2 pot came out on the GQ efi petrol
Need to improve my braking prior to looking at a Cert for my 35's and other bits

[Trundle]

build the brakes and use bendix cp pads and youl be away laughing

Took me 8 months to finally source twin pot calipers from an efi..that was hassling wreckers every 2 weeks.
Well worth the effort, straight bolt on to 15" rims etc and I can lock up 37's.

yes - I noted your posts on the patrol forum - good info, that's why im after some

Don't give up..they're hens teeth and hard to find but well worth it .

[coxsy]

semimetalic pads ajusts the rear brake valve ,it will stop well enough for a cert

[Twodiffs]

Possibly well enough for a cert coxsy..maybe even go slotted front rotors, but nothing beats twin pot calipers even though the twin pot pistons from an efi42 are smaller than the oem GQ single jobbie. Keep your sliders lubed and make sure the proportional valve is adjusted accordingly.

To do better than that you have to go GU front twin pot calipers and for that you need the complete GU front diff and 16" rims and bolts.
Been there done that.

would like to but to much cash involved,
going around the world again next year, so what its got will do

An aussie crowd sell twin piston gu calipers on trade me for between 300 and 600 ish a pair? Not sure if suitable,appears not going from above posts and dunno how it compares to weaker pricing

Cheers Alistair

Twin piston GU will be suitable for 16" rims only, also the bolt pattern of the calipers will not match GQ diffs.

[Craydiver]

Two diffs - do you know if you can get new rotors here in NZ easily?
I may have found some 2 pot gq in Aust, just waiting on price

[Twodiffs]

Rotors are discs which are rotors...quality is basic, when mine are at their minimum thickness i might go for slotted rotors.
Still have standard rotors even though their thickness will be down from factory and with the twin pot efi calipers I can stamp on the pedal
and lock everything up.

[Craydiver]

ok - I meant , the std rotors on my gq - don't they need changing for the GQ EFi rotors - I was sure I read somewhere the EFI ones are slightly bigger dia.
Or can I use the GQ 2 pot straight on std rotors?

[Twodiffs]

Too easy mate...you can use your std rotors, I did. Bear in mind those efi rotors and twin pots are on 15" rims .
