My kit was bought in pieces, but cost me around $2200 with lines. They had seen 1 hill climb and 7 laps of Sandown before I got my hands on them. Stuart from Benson Motorsport has them new and is a top guy, so speak to him if you're keen on them. Should save you a bit over the AP's, and get you a bigger disc. If you want another opinion speak to this guy, he has them on his 180 too: http://nissansilvia.com.au/forums/index.php?showuser=27028 I priced up a lot of different kits, and did a lot of research and these ticked all the boxes for me.

They look awesome. Are you going to hook up the water cooling? What pumps it through? Steve: Those calipers look great with the repaint.

I remember that datto, very quick car and nicely built. Does it run semi's or slicks though?

The Stoptech kit was in the front running for my car too before the exchange rate started to take a tumble. They're very expensive right now, but should get a bit cheaper later in the year. I went for the CSC kit in the end. I haven't used it as yet, so I can't comment but Ric Shaw used it in the Nurburg 24hr on his RX-7, so I'm sure they'll do me just fine. Another guy on NS has just put them on his car too and loves them, so I'm expecting big things. I don't much like the look of the kit you're going to run, that pad doesn't sit well with me...

All this race talk makes me sad... and angry. I want my car back!

I can answer that one Jack: Fvckin quickly! No GT-R hatred here, just some healthy competition to motivate. I love your car!

No doubt, no doubt... adams apple and all

Haha that's how it always is to us!

Oh Nick, at least you make for a sexy post-op girl

It's easy for them to make the side intrusions removeable, and they take 10 minutes to take out so it shouldn't be a major issue.

It's mostly because GT-R's are for girls...

Anywhere from 3-5k last I checked for those sorts of sizes, depending on brand of rotors, lines, caliper etc. As for the kit you mentioned fitting under a 17, it all depends on what 17 it is.

Good stuff guys, keep it up!

I looked into the Wilwood kits a lot when I was in the market for upgraded brakes, and by the time I'd specc'd them to what I wanted, and factored in shipping etc I found they just weren't going to cut it considering the pads were an unknown quantity over here, and replacement parts were going to be difficult to source. Adz on here was running the 324mm upgrade kit with GTS-T calipers, and was not super happy with them from memory. However Troy has run them on his 32 and was reasonably happy, maybe he could add to this? There was a massive thread about them on here a year or two ago: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Fr...&hl=adaptor My thread on brake upgrades for S13's which may be of interest: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/St...&hl=adaptor

Yep, from what I'm aware you must remove the side intrusions for the street if you want it to be legal.

Looking good mate. The dags in those 'cooler pipes were a bit rich. Always pays to check I guess! Nice hose clamps too, nothing worse than pipes blowing off.

Jack to the rescue once again! That's a nasty crack man

Awesome time Deano, looks like I've got some catching to do!

Car looks great Stu, always had a big soft spot for 400R's. Snowy, that's balls mate! What a jerk... car unscathed?

I've been too scared to put my Nismo caps on...

Got one

That's not too bad at all, considering other prices I've seen for them. Keen to see your results as they're number 1 on my list at the moment.

Nice one. Are you going to use it for Tarmac Rally?

Good luck all!

That sucks Adam, was looking forward to seeing your car out there. I'm out too, so I'm going to try and shoot for the 10th also.
