1g diamante front calipers!

[duh2150]

they dont fit!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the brackets are about 1.5 inches off

i need another branket of some kind, what should i get?

[seth98esT]

8g v6 bracket? Maybe a newer Diamante bracket?

[Divinity]

Did you put them on the correct sides this time dumbass?
L = Left
R = Right

[RedGalant2k1]

How did you even figure they'd even have a remote chance of fitting?

If you want dual piston calipers just buy them for a 8G V6 Galant.

[duh2150]

you think? ill take a pic of the caliper if anyone wants it looks like a regular calper and itll fit, but the bracket dont fit my car, im totally pissed, i donno what bracket to really use its like a 3000gt caliper, the hose connect at a angle not straight on

i need help asap, ive used way to much brake fluid in trying to do this front brakes, if i gotta fill it up 2 more time im gonna be ticked for sure, i dont wanna end up buying an 3rd huge bottle of brake fluid when i only needed 1 for the full thing maby 2, but 3 is just being a waste, ill show pics soon

[AVERAGE]

It sounds like you should have done abit more research before tackling this project. Brakes are nothing to mess around with and you should definetly consult someone that has more experience than this.

[Divinity]

I dunno, I have to see the pics... just becuase of your episode with installing your rear brakes.

[duh2150]

div im posting up pics they dont fit, there be on here in like 5 min tops, dont say shit because im tempted to curse someone out right now, just help me solve my problem, jsut help or dont answer, im really not in the mood to hear it thanks

[duh2150]

ok peeps dont tell me i needed to do more research i was trusting div to get me the right ones, she said she knew what she was getting

[Divinity]

Well whatever you do... don't drill any holes... and try swapping the brackets around, if that doesn't work, I'll give you mine from the 3000gt

[duh2150]

i cant swap brackets div then the brake pads wont go in :(

[Divinity]

But you definitely checked for the R and the L this time right?

I'm not getting it...

[duh2150]

I'm not understanding the pics

Oh wait nevermind

[duh2150]

[duh2150]

div measure across the bolt holes on your bracket.

[qnz]

they wont fit. I've posted this many times. diamante ones are the same size as 2g GSX ones. the holes on the brackets are closer. You need the brackets from a 00 3g v6, or a 99 8g v6. only those brackets will fit.

[duh2150]

stock braket is about 6.5" and 1g bracket is about 5"

[Divinity]

Alright, hold on, let me find my measuring tape

[RedGalant2k1]

Still why bother with diamante calipers? Why not just get V6 8G dual piston calipers? Those are a guaranteed fit bracket and all.

[Divinity]

Yo, red, just shush.

[RedGalant2k1]

Yo, red, just shush.

Why because I'm right and you are not?

[Divinity]

It's not a matter of being right or wrong red, just shut up.

[Divinity]

And thanks for the info qnz

[duh2150]

the chance of finding a v6 galant over here is very slim for osme reason most of them are 2.4l

[RedGalant2k1]

It's not a matter of being right or wrong red, just shut up.

It is a matter of being right or wrong. If they didn't fit why tell him they do? Why let him bother with this whole mess of attempting to install incorrect calipers and brackets in the first place? Why let him spend money and time on something that won't work anyways?

You should be the one refraining from speaking on this topic. Its been verified many times over that if one wants dual piston calipers for their I4s to use V6 8G calipers. Why even consider something so obviously wrong? Why tell another member that it would work?

Have a little common sense....unbelievable.

[RedGalant2k1]

Then buy them from a local autoparts store like Napa, Pepboys, Autozone, O'Reilly etc...

Remanufactured calipers aren't that expensive, especially seeing that you get the right brackets, pads, and hardware that will fit each and every time.

Trust me on this, its my business to know vehicle maintenance and mechanical repair.

[rez887]

00 3g v6, or a 99 8g v6. only those will fit.
Dont waste your time on trying to put diamante parts, 3000gt, or other shit on your car, just get the right part from 00 eclipse v6 or 99 galant v6.

Whatever, I'm fixing the problem, but if you want to make this a debate like you always do with shit with me, just shut the fuck up, I'm not in the mood today.

[RedGalant2k1]

Whatever. Next time maybe you will learn from your mistake and not tell someone something fits without any experience to verify it.

Get over yourself, your crying is pitiful.

[duh2150]

ok peeps you really think i gota money for over $150 dollor remaufactered calipers? accualy just the caliper without the brankets, we accualy got a life, we cant spend money like yall can on car parts, and they will work, its just the bracket dont mount up,

fine, ill sell them, you wanna buy them? i thought so, so stfu about it!

[duh2150]

plus if shes accualy willing to help me fix the problem, witch she has the same problem then its fine, theres no way in hell im gonna drop like 50 bucks for used brackets where i live

Come on man lets be real. Its your brakes, its a important safety feature of your vehicle and if you don't have the money you really should be messing around with it.

Modify something else like your wheels, body kit, intake, or exhaust. If you can't properly modify your brakes you really should take on that project.

Look motherfucker, don't start this shit with me again today. Don't chastise me over this. It's getting fixed tomorrow, it's not that big of a deal as you're making it.

[RedGalant2k1]

You need to calm down a little. I have every right to tell people that they shouldn't mess around with their brakes if they don't have the right parts, or the money to be doing so.

Its a big deal (especially to the member who is having the problem) because if that bracket is mangled up to be 'made to fit' you open yourself up to all sorts of possible problems. Its not right on your part to be telling other people what to put on their cars for brakes.

Legally you could put your self in harms way. So whether you like it or not, I'm protecting him and you here. Look I don't have issue with you, you seem quite knowledgeable in a lot of things, but not with mechanical parts.

Don't mess with brakes, do it right.

Don't tell me to calm down about anything. You don't know me, you don't know him, you don't know anything about my knowledge or his knowledge of cars, so that doesn't even give you the right to comment on that. It's not a big deal because it's getting fixed. I know how Aaron is and I didn't want him to mess with it to try to get them to work because he is a little drill happy when things don't fit. I just supplied the parts, I'm not doing the install, so it's the person who's doing the install responsibility as well. I was told the parts to get, so I got them. So really, I don't need your protection. I didn't ask for it. I see you changed your tune a little bit, but whatever. And by the way about your previous comment, for me to get over myself, you need to get over me first. You're always quick to jump on my back over shit you think you know absolutely everything about. In this case, you don't know shit about the whole situation.

Get over yourself.

I know the calipers are wrong.

I know you supplied them.

I know you overreact about every situation.

I know my business is to know automotive service and repair.

[duh2150]

hell yeah im drill happy! :) i almost made it work! redgalant dude if you wanan contribute in helping find some more brackets we can take from.

calipers aint wrong the brackets are wrong

and i know my place around cars, if i didnt know what i was doing, i wouldn't be doing it thast why im making the calipers work, so i can say that i got differnt calipers then everyone else even tho they are almost the same

doing what everyone else is doing is boring, try putting your calipers on the opposite side next time, its little odds and ends that counts, dont be a sheep to everyone else

everyone= 8g calipers
me and div= diamante calipers

[RedGalant2k1]

hell yeah im drill happy! :) i almost made it work! redgalant dude if you wanan contribute in helping find some more brackets we can take from.

8G V6/3G Eclipse V6 brackets. Those brackets will fit your spindles (knuckles) properly.

Get over myself... is that the best thing that came to mind?

The brackets are wrong.

I don't overreact about everything, you just make every situation as worse than it really is, usually adding one of your very biased opinions to it.

You don't know me or shit about me.

I could care less about what you do.

You don't know shit about the situation that involves Aaron and I with this matter.

Next time there is something that involves me on here, just don't say shit at all.

I am done with you on this thread.

Anyway, Aaron I'll let you know later tonight if I'm going to be busy tomorrow morning. I'll talk with you later.

Wow, you are the most stuck up egotistical person I've ever seen on TGC.

If I was anything like you I'd have banned you by now but thankfully I'm not like you and I haven't quelled a dissenting opinion.

Get a life and get over yourself.

Seriously, take this crap to PMs. If you have a problem with another member, it does not belong in this post! Im tempted to delete your guys' conversation just because I am tired of looking at it!
