Does the Boost Logic Drag Brake Kit for R35 require a parachute?

Yes. Boost Logic designed the Drag Brake Kit for R35 specifically for drag racing and states that a parachute is required. The much smaller rotors and calipers are chosen for weight and wheel clearance, not repeated high speed stops, so the car needs a parachute to slow at the end of a pass. Boost Logic sells an R35 parachute kit.

What wheel size can I run with this kit?

At the rear, the kit allows a 15-inch wheel with the correct offset for the largest possible sidewall, but the OEM control arm limits the car to 16-inch wheels until it is replaced. At the front, the large spindle rules out 15-inch wheels, and Boost Logic recommends 17-inch or 18-inch front wheels.

How much weight does the kit save?

Boost Logic lists the factory brakes at 145.6 lbs and the complete Boost Logic kit at 51.6 lbs, a reduction of 94 lbs. It states that 83.2 lbs of that saving is rotational mass, and that unsprung weight is greatly reduced as well. Those figures cover the full front and rear kit together.

Can I buy only the front or rear kit?

Yes. Boost Logic sells the front kit and the rear kit separately at the same price, or both together as a complete front and rear kit at twice that price. Choose the version that matches the build at checkout, keeping in mind that the parachute requirement applies to any car running the kit.

Is installation bolt-on?

Yes, apart from one small job. Boost Logic describes the kit as 100% bolt-on, with a slight modification to the rear dust shields required. Owners going to 15-inch rear wheels also need to replace the OEM control arm, which is a separate part and is not included in this brake kit.

Description

Boost Logic Lightweight Drag Brake Kit for R35 Nissan GT-R

Boost Logic’s Drag Brake Kit for R35 Nissan GT-R replaces the factory Brembo brakes with a much smaller, lighter drag racing setup so the car can run smaller wheels and taller sidewall tires for a larger contact patch. Boost Logic lists the full kit at 51.6 lbs against 145.6 lbs for the factory brakes, a 94 lb reduction, and states that 83.2 lbs of it is rotational mass. The kit is 100% bolt-on apart from a slight modification to the rear dust shields. It is built for drag racing only and requires a parachute, so it has no place on a street or road course GT-R.

Design and Performance

Boost Logic took the idea from its Supra drag cars, where smaller non-turbo rear brakes made room for smaller wheels and thicker sidewall tires. On the GT-R, even with the ATTESA E-TS all-wheel drive system and drag radials on 18-inch wheels, 60 foot times were limited by traction; downsizing the brakes lets the car run a 15-inch rear wheel with the correct offset for the largest possible sidewall.

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.
