Why do I need the Small Front Brake Kit?

The factory R35 front brakes are too large to fit inside a 17 inch wheel. The T1 Small Front Brake Kit uses a 345 mm rotor and a six piston caliper that clear 17 inch front drag wheels while bolting to the stock hub with no modification.

Does it reduce braking power?

T1 Race Development set out to avoid any significant loss of braking power, requiring the kit to stop the car safely with or without a parachute. The rotor keeps the factory 30 mm width, and T1 has used the kit on runs from 200 mph quarter miles to 240 mph half miles.

T1 Race Development and WP Pro Brakes designed the kit together. WP Pro Brakes developed the six piston caliper and 345 mm rotor package to suit the R35 hub and the drag wheels that T1 runs on its own cars.

The kit includes the calipers, caliper mounting hardware, steel rotors and brake lines. The calipers are offered in black or silver, and T1 lists carbon rotors as an option in place of steel, which Bulletproof Automotive can quote on request for cars that run a parachute.

Can it be used on the street?

T1 Race Development designed the kit to stop the car safely without a parachute, unlike its carbon drag brake kits, which are intended for the strip only. Bulletproof Automotive can advise on pads and setup for the way the car will be driven.

Description

T1 Race Development GT1R Small Front Brake Kit for R35 Nissan GT-R

T1 Race Development’s GT1R Small Front Brake Kit for R35 Nissan GT-R is what makes a 17 inch front wheel and tire possible on the GT-R, since the factory brakes will not fit inside one. T1 and WP Pro Brakes designed it together around a 345 mm rotor and a six piston caliper that bolt straight to the stock hub with no modification.

Design and Performance

Before starting the project, T1 set a rule that the smaller brakes could not bring a significant loss of braking power: they had to stop the car safely whether or not it carries a parachute. The 345 mm rotor keeps the factory 30 mm width, and steel is the standard rotor material. T1 has used the kit on everything from 200 mph quarter mile passes to 240 mph half mile runs.

What Comes in the Kit

The kit includes the calipers, caliper mounting hardware, steel rotors and brake lines. Choose black or silver calipers when ordering.

About T1 Race Development

T1 Race Development was founded in Texas in 2005 by Tony Palo, whose 2000 Acura Integra GSR became the first eight-second front-wheel-drive street car before the shop turned its attention to the Nissan GT-R. T1 went on to become the first to exceed 230 mph in the half mile in a GT-R and the first to make 2,400 whp from the VR38DETT, and it now develops engines, drivetrain parts and complete builds for the R35 GT-R, Lamborghini Huracan and Audi R8.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
