4.5 GRX Rear Brake Discs Wanted

Post by Zantus »

I'm looking for a set of second hand rear brake discs for my 4.5GRX.

Please let me know if you have some to sell or know of a scrap yard with 4.5GRX rear axle I can them off of.

Zantus,

Nissan will charge you R 5K for a set of discs. I got a Power brake pair with pads for R 2700. Your troll has a larger diameter so expect to pay a little more.
V8 Power

You can't expect to be old and wise
if you were never young and crazy

Powerbrake's reply: "Unfortunately we do not manufacture rear discs and pads for the Patrol. As we concentrate on upgrades, we focus on the front brakes only as this is where up to 85% of your braking is done"

The only problem being that Zantus is rather far from Norbrake...

Zantus, get hold of Ross and ask him if he would lend you one of the disks from his spare axle, then post it to me and I will drop them off at Norbrake for you?

I can possibly send one of my own discs....need to open the rear axle to have a look at the rear diff and I want to start building my bumpers so my Patrol will be "on the blocks" for a while.
