RacingBrake offers an aftermarket CCM kit for the R35 that is 410/390mm front to rear, although they are not monoblock calipers.

[@motoiq]

The annulus seems more narrow on these with less swept area than the Nismo brakes. We do like RB's stuff though and they probably work well.

[@TurboHappyCar]

Very cool video! Those brakes are huge! Question: What happens if you use the pads for carbon ceramics on iron brake rotors? I was at a track day where a gentleman with a Audi TT RS heard noise coming from his brakes. He thought it was weird since he had carbon ceramic brakes and recently serviced them. We pulled off the wheel and the rotor appeared to be iron, and nearly completely eaten away. I wonder if he went into the parts department, got the pads for CMM rotors, then put them on his iron rotors, for whatever reason thinking he had carbon ceramic. (Edit: Looking at the pictures, the rotors were certainly iron and pretty gouged up. The pads appear to have been eaten away, and I'm thinking the pad-backing-plate rivets were eating the rotor.)

[@motoiq]

He could have been driving race pads on the street. Race pads can totally ruin your rotors in a few hundred miles if they are not brought up to racing temperature. Race pads are mostly metal and require heat to develop a metal oxide transfer film on the surface of the rotor to help protect it. In street driving the brakes, don't get hot enough for the film to form and the aggressive pads quickly eat up the rotor, literally in less than two hundred miles in some cases.

[@dudeisnotcoolio]

Love these in depth videos Mike. What are the difference between these and Spec V CCBs they initially offered

[@motoiq]

I could not find any specs on the brakes but they look like the stock diameter but with a larger swept area. This is purely by looking at pictures of them and seeing how big they look in the wheel.

[@djrez2107]

Hang on - One bit of info is wrong, the OEM calipers are monoblocks (front and rear) and not 2 piece. If it were 2 piece, you'd see bolts joining them and also the centre joint line.

[@e240]

ahahhah - you're gonna get hammered on the monoblock - just seen a few comments.. hahah... great vid though.

Actually, you are right and Brembo's literature and an older Nissan google translated Japanese press release messed me up.

[@kcspeed9980]

Great video. I have a 2020 wrx Seres white and would love if you could get a set of carbon rotors for the sti, just would be cool. I don’t know if it would be worth it but I think I would love a set, if you could have a set on an sti for 10-12k $ it would be sick. Expensive as-F but sick. Has anyone swapped gtr breaks on an sti? That would mean it could be possible with this set. But it’s oversized for a 3300 lb car. I track my car 4 weekends per year and could see myself getting into wanting these. The factory brembo breaks are great but I’m already wanting 2 pieces rotors and track pads with fluid.

[@motoiq]

No one reputable to our knowledge makes a CCM conversion for the STI

[@kcspeed9980]

@@motoiq that’s a shame, but there’s no way it’s worth making, the kit would cost 50% the value of a new car. And it is not that heavy. Still would be cool. Thanks for the reply.

[@holeshot26]

does brembo produce these kits for any other cars other than the gtr? and you should also mention somewhere in the video the biggest con over any other con when upgrading to ccm brakes is THE PRICE!! For most everyone, these brakes will cost more than the price/value of your car!

[@motoiq]

No they don't really have a CCM big brake upgrade kit and we do talk about the price in the video!

[@marccastro1834]

Hi. I just put these CCM front and rear on m6 GT-R. My question is do you have to recalibrate the ABS pump including the brake sensors and pressure valve? The reason im asking this question is due to the brake pedal now is a little lower than before but when I once press the pedal again it goes right on the top.

[@motoiq]

I think you might have gotten air into the system. If you get air in the abs valve, it takes a lot of bleeding to get it out.

[@gabbiz9052]

Super nice . But they brake good on cool to?

[@motoiq]

Yes they do

[@Dars_Cars]

Great video! What is needed to do fit these on the 2014 GTR?

[@motoiq]

Well considering that this is a video on putting them on a 2014 GT-R! It basically bolts right on. Just the rear dust shields need to be modded. Check this out!motoiq.com/watch-massive-r35-gt-r-carbon-ceramic-brake-upgrade/

[@Dars_Cars]

@@motoiq thank you for replying. That’s great that you can just bolt these on. I was thinking that some spacers would be needed to clear the caliper.

[@torontoyes]

I am going to do this exact setup. I have found the rotors, I know the pads are Brembo, but what model? Any help is appreciated. I searched the numbers that were on the pads when they were showing them, i could not find the pads.

[@motoiq]

Any one for carbon ceramic rotors. The Nissan dealer to make it easy.

[@lambrosstamos4494]

So what is CCM-R then? Is such an upgrade available, and if so, theoretically, does it also fit to the R34?

[@motoiq]

CCM-R has less ceramic and more carbon in the matrix. I think the GT-R stuff is CCM-R but not 100% sure. I heard the R35 stuff fits on the R34, at least in the front, but never personally tried it. I would suggest googling to see if anyone has done the swap.

[@TheCmason13]

Mike, Have to respectfully disagree with you - those OE front calipers definitely look like one-piece (monobloc in Brembo speak) to me. Main difference is that they have removable bridge bolts vs the forged-in bridge on the others. You also can see the small, external brake line, which you wouldn’t see on two-piece calipers.

[@motoiq]

I got this from a 2019 Japanese Nissan press release which I cant find now. I knew the stock rear brakes were monoblock for sure. Looking at pictures of the stock front calipers I don't see any bolts on the sides either so you are right. The Brembo literature calls calipers with the bridge monoblock but not the bridgeless ones which probably added to my confusion.

[@marccastro1834]

Hi. Are these CCM brake kit will be compatible for a 2010 CBA GT-R? Thanks. Great video.

[@motoiq]

Yes, if you want to buy these brakes they will be available soon, I am selling them!

No

[@JDMluvDSMkila]

Hey Mike, Do you guys ever swap out the caliper bleed screws for Speedbleeders for quick brake bleeding at the track?

there is a big problem with this carbon ceramic brakes, the contact surface of the disc has a thinner line of carbon fiber close to the midle. when the pad toches that carbon it wear diferently. it can actualy be seen on the pad.

The stock calipers don't look 2-piece to me

[@motoiq]

You are right they are one piece without a bridge. Brembo calls the bridged calipers monoblock and it screwed me up.

[@e240]

@@motoiq Monoblock refers to the construction - machined out of 1 piece of metal (the metal/aluminum block could be forged - very likely forged). The bridge, that's probably just design to add rigidity.

Urine information is always received well but I have to honestly say that the price for carbon ceramic routers is absolutely absurd. It is 3 times what they should cost. And what what we have always done? Is I just take a roller like the ones? I have now. On my GT? R. The J hooks and we have them cryogenically frozen and they last 4 times as long as they do if you don't do this I don't understand why people don't do that it's a simple. Thing to do it only cost a few 100 bucks to do a set of 4. And it's well worth the money because the rotor is gonna last forever. So i'm just not a a fan of the carbon ceramic and neither are several my friends it own g t s.
