Ceramic brake conversion kit Nissan GT-R 380 x 34 mm 380 x 34 mm
catalog at Buy Mustang parts Ltd, a Carbon Ceramic Brake (CCB) Conversion Kit in the 380mm x 34mm size is a high-performance upgrade primarily targeted at CBA (2009–2011) GT-R owners or those seeking a lightweight, track-ready setup that fits under standard 19-inch wheels.
1. Technical Overview: The 380mm Setup
While later GT-R models moved to 390mm or 410mm (Nismo) rotors, the 380mm x 34mm size remains the “Goldilocks” fitment for the R35.
-
Material: Typically utilizes Carbon-Silicon Carbide (C/SiC) or CCM-R (Carbon Ceramic Material – Racing).
-
Weight Reduction: A full 380mm CCB kit removes approximately 24kg – 26kg (53–57 lbs) of unsprung mass compared to OEM steel rotors.
-
Thermal Capacity: These rotors can handle temperatures exceeding 800°C without the “warping” or surface cracking common in steel rotors under heavy track abuse.
2. Premium Conversion Options
In the 2026 market, these kits are sourced from elite tier-1 manufacturers.
| Brand | Model Type | Key Advantage |
| Brembo | CCM-R Kit | The closest tech to Formula 1; incredible longevity. |
| Alcon | CCB Superkit | Features high-performance 6-piston front / 4-piston rear calipers. |
| Surface Transforms | Next-Gen CCST | Unique “Interwoven” carbon fiber allows for multiple resurfacings. |
3. Strategic Advice for Buy Mustang parts Ltd
-
The “19-inch Wheel” Niche: Many track enthusiasts prefer 19-inch wheels for better tire selection and lower rotational mass. Market this 380mm kit specifically to them: “Maximum stopping power that clears most 19-inch track wheels.”
-
The “Pad Compatibility” Warning: You must sell these with CCB-specific brake pads (e.g., Pagid RSC1 or Brembo RB170). Using standard steel-rotor pads will ruin a $15,000 set of rotors in a single track session.
-
Street vs. Track: Advise your luxury clients that CCBs can be “squeaky” when cold. For daily drivers, suggest the Brembo CCM kits which are valved for quieter street operation.
4. Inspection & Quality Control
-
The “Minimum Weight” Rule: As mentioned with other CCBs, these do not get “thinner” with wear. You must verify the Minimum Weight (g) stamped on the hat.
-
Surface “Silkiness”: If a used rotor feels rough like sandpaper, it has “oxidized” from extreme heat and is nearing the end of its life. A premium rotor should feel smooth and look “mirror-like.”
-
Mounting Hardware: Ensure the bobbins and anti-rattle clips are made of stainless steel or high-grade titanium. Cheap hardware will corrode and cause the rotor to “knock” during low-speed driving.
