@@GTContent "How I got budget Carbon Ceramic brakes." The current title implies that anyone can do this but after watching the video you had used gift cards from your family to pay for the parts. They aren't really free.
@Stribogboi Thanks. I'll take it into consideration. To clarify, It wasn't even a few hundred dollars worth of family gift cards. Love my family though. I used my own Amazon rewards points which were the majority of it. If I didn't have the rewards points/gift cards, I would have had to pay out of pocket. This is a neat trick to getting them for free. Anyone that qualifies for an amazon card can do it.
Impressive how faster the brakes made your GTR. 🤓 Single stopping distance won't change. Fade resistance does. Maybe decelerating from 200 mph? Not 1x from 80 or 100mph You'll never, ever, ever ever ever change the braking distance from 80-0 (mph) due to carbon-carbon or CCM or bigger brakes, or anything else in that vein. The only category you can improve braking distances is after fade becomes a factor, and that's going to require either repeated stops with minimal time to exhaust the accumulated heat, or, from much higher speeds (like 200 mph). Which, you could also mitigate with larger heatsinks (iron) + duct work ... or, sure, a material that isn't prone to fading due to the heatrange. For bigger brakes to stop you faster, you need either grippier tires (which exceed your brakes clamping force to lock up the wheels), more downforce (to increase static friction coefficient) or both. It's not until your brakes cannot lock up your wheels that you need greater braking capacity. There may be an argument for better brakes providing better modulation as you approach the limit of adhesion, allowing you to approach said limit with decreased chance of locking the brakes, but, no one is engaging in that conversation ... and ... with modern ABS, it's (again) less of a factor unless rules prohibit them.
Nice my buddy just did this conversion on his 2017 but he bought the hats so he didn't have to drill anything, I'll probably do this one day I still have some new Rotors that I can use for the moment, but I did go fbo e85
Hi, I also have a Nissan Gtr R35, I like the change in the car, I've also been thinking a bit, I could also change the normal brakes to the ceramic ones, greetings from Germany🖐🖐🖐
I know braking is better if you do the fronts, but to feel more acceleration for say drag racing, wouldn't swapping the rears to carbon be more beneficial
I'm not able to collect that type of data, but would assume that it wouldn't matter much since front and rear rotors are both similar in size and weight.
Have to agree with someone else here about the clickbait title. Had these for years on my R35 as well. While you can tell the difference, it's not as dramatic as you've made it here. A 20lb drop in weight would never require any spring or dampening adjustment on any car. The caliper spacers that you didn't install would have taken the caliper and the pads to the correct height on the rotor.
Recommend a better title? There is a noticeable difference in the shock dampening compared to stock. On the same roads I've driven with the steel rotors, the bumps tend to be absorbed, whereas the ccb bounce/respond. The caliper spacer isn't required. As mentioned in the video, they are only required for the 2009-2011 GTR and there is also a small lip on the 2012+ steel rotors due to the brake pad spacing.
@@GTContent It’s a placebo effect. 20lbs spread over two shocks is not gonna give you any noticeable difference in ride quality. I had the same rotor setup for years and the only place you really notice the weight difference is in the turning of the front wheels. The caliper spacer isn’t required to bolt it on, yes, but it would put the pad at the right position relative to the rotor. As far as the title goes, I think we all know they weren’t free so misleading for views is pretty apparent. If you hadn’t had some sort of credit on your Amazon account, it sounds like these would have never been purchased and this video never made.
@@jdmpire I'm not sure what wheel/tire setup you have. I can feel the road more with the OEM/MPSS setup on the same road. Placebo on the acceleration, I can agree with because I have no data and per my butt dyno comment. The turning does feel more responsive as I noted in the video also. The OEM outer steel disk has a lip on it from the OEM brake pad creating the groove. The ZR1 CC disk is probably 1-2mm larger than the OEM steel disk which is not significant. Using the caliper spacer isn't necessary for 2012+. It may just create clearance problems with certain 18" wheels. "We all know" is your opinion. I show you how I got them for free. I'm sure there are some that are appreciative for this method. Not sure how to respond to your last paragraph because that is the method I used to get the CCB for free. I understand you paid a lot for them, but for those that haven't, they can save a lot of money. GTR shops will hate me. Just wait until I make the 15" rear video. Going to be nearly free also compared to the $2,000+ shops are charging. I'm helping th GTR community with a new method and save money. Why would people be upset. Not sure why you care about how much views this video will get? If it gets one view, I'm not even upset. I don't depend solely TH-cam financially lol You never answered my question on recommending a better title.
@@GTContent To be fair, while it's nominal relative to the vehicle weight, it is a pretty large percent change to the unsprung weight (speaking of ride quality / suspension engagement). What I found more spurious is the claim it changed acceleration. That's just comedy. 🤣 Yes, the rolling inertia is reduced, but that [is] a Fn that includes the entire vehicle's weight, and it's just ludicrous to claim a noticeable difference. In fact, you'll also never, ever, ever ever ever change the braking distance from 80-0 (mph) due to carbon-carbon or CCM or bigger brakes, or anything else in that vein.

Bro that car is fast! I almost wanna get one! I currently have a 370Z, Im still on the fence on weather or not if I should get the 2017 GTR or the New Z Nismo. Thanks for sharing man! Stay humble!
2017+ GTR are $100k+ not gonna get financed unless make probably $200k year. Brand new Z nismo you can work at McDonald's get financed just FYI I'm sure you know how it goes
@@BitcoinTo100K I have bit of money and can manage 😅 its more of a preference between looks or performance. I'm not saying money is no object but money is made to be saved then spent 😅 either I continue to dump money into my 370Z or get Nismo Z. (Which I assume will be exactly what I want) or just go out and by a GTR, it's not as pretty but it is all that you need and more. Than again if it's about bang for buck l can buy the new C8 instead, which I really just forgot about. Before the C8 I wanted a F430 but since its release I find no point in owning a ferrari 😅
@Marvelous0071 l figured if your shopping GTR's just never know some people think these are cheaper lol. The C8 is impressive I'm on multiple list for C8Z trying get MSRP probably be 3 years smh. The Z will never be in same league as these from performance stand point but arguable more fun.
@@BitcoinTo100K oh ok gotcha, yeah the GTR is not cheap! I'm currently in Japan and surprisingly its more expensive here than back in the states!!! Seriously and some cars are way cheaper in Japan then back in the states, (its quite a unusual market 🤔 here in Japan)
AWESOME!! Budget Upgrades to and better than a NISMO!!! Can you do 1 to 5 years of performance after the budget upgrades. DO IT YOURSELF design and development !!! PLEASE SAVE & DOCUMENT the design and development - I and other customers would love to buy !!!

Welcome back dude!
I found the gtr brake kit upgrade to carbon rotors for a year, that a great diy plan for me to install to my car. Thank you !
GT is back 🙌🏽
Absolutely great video. I remember this thread on GTRlife years ago. Great video to show exactly how to get this job done.
Glad it was helpful!

Very nice and smart....I need Carbon Ceramic brakes for my Cadillac CTS-V3. A lot of these expensive sports cars should come with these by now
I'm happy you got through with this swap. I'm trying to find a swap for the Evo x for years lolol
Same here. No luck so far. I think there's a BBK that has carbon rotors.
4:12 the like button lights up when he mentions it first time seeing this
Thanks for the upload! Gtr still makes you happy
Less than $1000 when I use my gift cards and rewards. It's $4k what you just did. I did like the video though besides that. Solid!
Nice my buddy just did this conversion on his 2017 but he bought the hats so he didn't have to drill anything, I'll probably do this one day I still have some new Rotors that I can use for the moment, but I did go fbo e85
FYI, CBA SPEC V was the 1st year to be available in 2011 not in the USA market.
I'm gonna do a 15 inch conversion too
The same applies to lighter wheels. It makes the car feel like 50 to 100 horsepower more.

Great job Gary! Looks awesome!
What a great upgrade!
It really is!
Very well planned. Excellent project and strategy on saving a lot! 👍
Thanks!
Parts can bend and twist so careful when leaving tight tolerences
I've been on this setup for over a year now. Spirited mountain drives, drag strip, highway pulls. Things seem good so far.
It’s been awhile!
That’s crazy
What is the front conversion buddy? Glad you still keep holding on the gtr. I never sell mine.
C6 Corvette ZR1.
still alive citizen, had forgotten I was subbed
Very nice video. If i will find the brakes cheap like u one day i will buy😄

I'm not able to collect that type of data, but would assume that it wouldn't matter much since front and rear rotors are both similar in size and weight.
@GTContent I think the car is more rwd biased and sends power to front as needed. So less weight to rotate in the rear. But I want both hahaha
Oh wow i completely forgot about this channel that i subbed to lol
Glad you're back with another video. When is the K swap? lol
I'm still working on the trans for the Kswap. Debating between the 4.3 vs 4.7 final drive.
@@GTContent nice.
Is the rotor size same as OEM? Front and rear?
do you have the link to those Corvette carbon rotors?
