    Interesting. These are the prices I got when looking at this option:

    $350 ALPHA OMEGA Evo 350mm Brembo billet aerospace alloy caliper adapter kit

    $850 Pair of Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 Brembo front calipers (used)

    $120 Brembo caliper rebuild kit for one pair of calipers

    $200 Brembo brake caliper rebuilding service for one pair of calipers

    TOTAL = $1520

    +cost of Discs and Brake lines.

    I opted to go for the D2 8 Pot 356mm kit instead. Bigger, cheaper and came with everything required. (and it's all brand new)

     

     

    Would you guys vote for D2 over brembo ?

    yes I am getting bigger master cylinder later.

    I just want to improve it now and know my brakes can break my neck if needed :)

    I do everything on the car myself and know it needs bleeding but hardly use the car and now want to change it anyway for above reason

     

    I will then change the backs to 350 as well in the future

    cool, how do you guys bleed it using abs module ?

    I don't have a software that can activate it , I normally bleed, drive for few hundred miles and bleed again in hope of all air from abs is bleed that way

     

    I went ahead and bought set of evo 9 brembo calipers, it was £450 for two calipers rebuild plus red stuff pads

    it looks cheap to me, how can I ensure it is actually evo 9 calipers and it is brembo ?

    The brembo logo seems to be a paint only so anyone can fake. The guys claims he has also changed all of the pistons

    I can cancel it if it seems fake to you guys

    I understand but I want to fix the brakes and ensure it is capable of stopping a 300rwkw car so hence the reason for my post

    I was thinking to get gtr brembo caliper which are quite expensive

     

    evo calipers are cheaper so I think it is a wise investment to change caliper and discs to evo 10

     

    would i gain 25-30 braking power compared to original skyline?

    r34 GTT brake upgrade

    Hi Guys,

     

    I have set of EBC 310 grooved and dimpled on my r34GTT

    I installed it with ebc red stuff and I have to say brake performance is fu***ing sh*t

    I think my kia picanto 1 liter is better than the skyline. I also changed the fluid to dot4 racing from castrol.

     

    My hope is that I need to bleed the system and brake is ok. I have been lazy to do it as have hardly drived the car but I am using it frequently now.

    I almost crashed it another day by failing to stop. it gets very soft and goes further down when braking hard .

    Anyways, whilst I am going to do the bleeding , I thought I also change the caliper and rear discs to groved/dimpled.

    It is the standard size of 310 at front and 295mm at back. would you invest £600 on pair of GTR brembo or change the disc to 350mm and get evo10 caliper and disc?

    I spent in excess of £400 on the disc and the pads last time.

    skyline r344 gtt 500hp

    in Forced Induction Performance

    Posted

    Well what i said above was only engine

    i have already spent 2.5k on 275 falken and 19 inch alloys

     

    love it

     

    i may forge it later hence why i am getting a 1000 cc injectors which I understand it is good for up to 1k hp

    re turbo with big turbos and less boost, will you have a significant lag and sudden kick?

    skyline r344 gtt 500hp

    Hi Guys,

    I am finally getting to tune my skyline and have a lot of work to do by researching etc

    I want to gain around 500 hp form my skyline which is R34 GTT. I have done a compression testing and all cylinders where the same

    I have seen posts people saying the head gasket need to be changed but also other posts saying it is fine for up to 600

    what do you think ?

    My budget is around 5-6k in pounds so 10k in AU dollor

    I am going overkill by buying top of the range products even if not needed in case I decide to go above 500

    my question is what psi would I be pushing at 500hp ? 20 or more?


    so far here is what I think i should buy

    1. Fuel pump also not sure of the model and liter capacity. I need to research it
    2. a Turbo
    3. Possible a high mount manifold
    4. clutch
    5. gtr brembo caliper
    6. link ecu with lunch control
    7. 1000 cc injectors
    8. boost controller
    9.remap
    10. get the timing spot on before doing any remaps.
    11.intercooler
    do I need to change anything else on fuel system ?

     

    R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

    in Cosmetic, Styling & Respray

    Posted

    Hi Guys,

    I am planning to buy some 19" or 20" alloys for my skyline

    It is a 1998 Gtt R34.
    Looking at most websites, when you input the car details, it is returning 19" as max.
    Do you know if fitting 20" is possible ?

    if not, would 19"x 9.5 with 265 and 19x8.5-9 with 245 for front work ?

    what are the issues with bigger wheels I should be aware of ?

    I am getting a low offset ones(curved inside) . I guess clearence from suspension is important, not hitting fender and guards. what else?

    does above impact handling ? Is wider alloy at back a good idea?
