Any in the works for S13's John? :happy:

They fit S13 same as Skyline we have already fitted.

On Sat trial fitted to Beer Baron's car and will need to make totally different for R32 GTR which has alower ball joint right where the air shoorts at middle of the rootor so might make a bigger one to shoot air here as well as above this. Also needs a bracket to secure to one of the radius rod bolts.

How do you reckon standard nissan pads will hold up on a track day?

Car-180kw.. Toyo t1rs on front, advan ad07s on rears(however might use different rubber on that day)

Brand new rda rotors front and rear with new brake pads (standard nissan)

First time on track, so i dont think i will be doing anything crazy!!

Or should i change my pads before i go on the track day?

yep, they need some re-working to work on a GTR. but they look very nice. very light, easy to fit etc. once you have the GTR design down pat they will be a good thing. I'll be running them for sure. I think they will work even better if you have the factory GTR ducts in place.

Hey John thanks for the DS 2500's... really like them as a street pad, they are nice and linear and no squeeling or carrying on... if they hold up well on the track I am going to be very pleased!

I might be in contact soon re the deflectors... just have to wait til the bank balance is in better shape!

Ahhh, good to hear.

How much are these, and are they available?

here is john working hard on the GTR version. this hands on approach is a little worrying, but he does claim to know what he's doing... hehe

Looking forward for the R33 GTR versions. I think i have the same torch! snap-on!

I am getting a 33 GTR this arvo so if I'm nice I'll let john use it to see if the 32 GTR version fits on 33 GTR (i think it will).

and ferni, yep it's a snap on torch. :laugh:

I am confident these will be well worth while. plus they are piss easy to fit and look very neat and can work in conjunction with more elaborate ducting if need be.

I guess I would like to share my experienc from brakes I have used over the last 8 years.

Im a once a month track boy with 30,000km per year street use.

I used many brake pads on my R33 GTR, STD brembo, EBC green stuff (lasted one track day) and SBS carbon ceramic, the SBC were the best by far. STD rotor STD caliper.

My R34 GTR was a different story, I went straight to the SBS carbon ceramic front and rear, they stopped great but screamed like a cut cat on the road for the life of the pad (9-12months). I then moved to the Frodo 2500 with Motol 600V fluid, the combo was maybe just a little better it was hard to tell, but my hair line cracks in my STD front rotors opened up and I cracked a rotor the first time I used the 2500's on the track, Wakefield. I then put a set of DBA4000 rotors on, the Frodo's lasted 20,000km (9 months) and then I replaced them at Christmas. I did another 2 track days and last week at Oran Park south, one of the hair line cracks opened up again and I cracked my DBA rotor, same spot, right front outside. I assume the VSPEC II brake cooling ducts kept the inside cooler, but its hard to cool the outside. I just had a new set of DBA 4000's put on.

I cooled my brakes down every time I went out on the track, and ABO BOB and I have almost the same experience. I might go back to the SBS next set just to check it out, but in reality, the Frodo/DBA combo is so cheap and do stop really really well.

I guess its hard to find a road pad that last for ever and stops like a race car and cost 20% of the Nissan replacement part. The Frodo does everything except comes at a small price if you drive your car hard on the track.

It must be noted that I cant drive very well and have to rely on very late braking to get good track times, my car does weight 1680kg's when its pounding around the track so its by no means a light weight.

Unless you are trying to keep up with John's 300Z and you only want to do the occasional track day I think the best bang for buck is the Frodo 2500. If you want to really push the boundaries then you either have to start spending more money or understand that DBA rotors can become a disposable item.

I hope this helps someone.

Thanks, good info Paul. :D I had a cracked DBA 4000 rotor, running EBC Red Stuff pads that seemed very harsh,

but had plenty of bite. Now using bendix ultimates for street use and Ferodo 2500s for the track with all new ducting. :P

I have the Nismo deflectors on my car, and Nismo list them as fitting all GTR's...

They are made of plastic and bolt up perfectly, basically bolts up to the castor rod...

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
