I'm curious about the rear caliper and rotor in this kit, did you post any pics?

Yup - lots of pics here....

No pics of the back side of the calipers

This kit is different, all the GT kits I've seen use the big 993tt/RS rear caliper on a modified 993tt/RS rear rotor,

You appear to have the 322x28mm modified rotor(which is supposed to be NLA) but w/ a smaller A family Brembo caliper

very curious:confused:

Bill - I'll try to shoot some pics of the backside of the caliper - It's a GTP Kit that I got here from Pelican some time back.

Bill,

I suspect the rear caliper is a Lotus TwinTurbo V8 application? That's what Jeff Alton mentioned is his ad for the kit he's offering.

That car is so clean even a clean freak like me is shocked. I guess getting married and having kids has broken me of that clean fetish, because my stuff isn't even clean anymore! :D

I'll see what I can do about getting a picture of my rear line on the 930 caliper. I have to do something about my garage disaster anyway.......

Kevin - well you just need to marry someone that is neater than you - that is what I did. :cool: I got 3 kids of my own 3,4 and 9 months - but us neat freaks (my wife and I) give them a run for their money...the house stays pretty tidy

My rears look different than the ones in that kit - now Bill has me curious too...I think overall the kit is good, (install wise) I have to install the 23mm M/C and we will see where we are with bias - my guess is pretty heavy on the front but until I get it out on the track for a good shake down I will not know.

Appreciate the help on the pics - it would be great to by a rear 930 line and call it day. In the pics you can see where the in/out line goes - it's pretty far down.

Bill here are some more pics:

My wife is neater than me (never stops telling me to hang up my clothes after work, straighten up your pile of magazines, etc. etc...... :D )

Yes your calipers are tapped differently than those in Jeff's kit and they don't have crossover tubes. These are similar to the old Ate calipers with internal plumbing. But I still think the 930 line could be the ticket. Stay tuned......

What are the part numbers on that caliper? The Lotus TT one is available with different piston sizes and port set ups. Although I have never seen them with a single bleed screw and a lack of cross over tubes...

Cheers

That looks like a Brembo A-family caliper, they come in different versions for front or rear use,

I see the issue w/ the o/s feed, like I said just bend a line up from the caliper to the fixed point on the trailing arm

You are probably better off w/ that caliper than the ones they originally sold w/ the GT-P kits

I don't kow what the part number is - like I said it came in a kit. If there was a parts list I didn't see it/get it. These were ordered some time back right when the GTP kits were coming out and they phased out the Big Reds - I was surprised to see the Porsche script on the calipers (most others I have seen just say Brembo)

Bill - why would this rear be better than the GTP (although that is what I thought I had)? For bias? Also you say this rear rotor is NLA - I thought it was just a TT rotor pinned to a e-brake inner?

I'm having some difficulty remembering what was used in the original GTP kits. From correspondence w/ Race Technology and some early adapters I thought I remembered Big red front and rear calipers. I just pulled the spec sheets and apparently my memory is much worse than I thought.

The original kits had the Brembo B caliper that you have in front on 993tt 322x32 2 piece rotor annulus w/ a flat 911 hat, these calipers had 40/44 pistons.

the rears were an A-family as you have pictured on modified 322x28 993RS/tt rear rotors. The calipers had 28/30mm pistons.

this setup is very heavily front biased, 2.1 vs usual 911 1.6. A number of early users reported front locking issues. I have no personal experience w/ them myself. But w/ that much front bias you may want to consider using a rear pad w/ more bite than the front also be sure to remove the stock 3.2 Carrera p/v.

Thanks Bill - it just shows how much mis-information is floating around - I was told not to remove the p/v on the stock setup and use the 23mm.

Where is the p/v on an 84 Carrera? By the m/c?

Facing the rear, to the left of the booster/mc assembly, you want to use the 930 23.8mm m/c so you will have that area apart anyway.

Realized I never provided the picture I promised. Turns out I had to make a new feed line on one caliper when I couldn't get it to come free. I simply took a 12 in. pre-flared line and bent it to fit. 12 in. was just barely enough length to get it connected.

The line pictured here is an old original line.

Looks like the Brembo kit caliper here would benefit from a banjo fitting like the original Porsche 930 Brembo rear caliper uses?

Thanks Kevin - that is exactly how I ran mine also
