The Stoptech are pretty $$$$ from what i have seen from their pricing. I have a big test of Prodrive (Alcon) vs Brembo vs Stoptech brakes. They seem to be ok. They look like re-engineered F40/50 calipers...but hey, whatever works.

GTR drivers are scared of corners so need brakes to slow down, lift up their skirt, turn the corner then plant their cavemen like right foot on the loud pedal to GO, GO, GO! :(

Well from my last few enquires:

Stoptech 332*32 hatted rotors + ST40 calipers + braided lines + pads = $2280US approx $2850 Aust. Delivered. Note this is ex US, I haven't got a price from the local distributor as they need to email the States.

Alcon 335*28 hatted rotor + 4 pot caliper + lines + pads+fluid + $3808+gst+freight ex PWR direct.

AP Racing CP5200 + 330x32 hatted rotors + lines & pads = $3200 + freight. EX Racebrakes (pick one)

The endless stuff (6 pot on R33 hatted 324 rotors) is listed as Y436,590 plus freight. Ex Greenline.

So they appear to be reasonably priced to me.

Oh, and Roy, I have delicate little feet. Like a ballerina.

ill have to check ours, but our alcons run with 355mm rotors(have to double check) and we only run 17" rims...big 4spots up front and smaller 4 spots at the back. The whole package with a set of pads was well under 10k also. We were opting for the 6 spotters up front, but apart from better pad life and more even wear the bloke at sbc reckons the difference in braking performance is negligible. So he talked us into just the 4spots.

Well I am going out to qld raceway today to watch the same gtr that blew everything in to the weeds at gatton last week.

Try and tell these guys that the gtr has reached its use by date and i am quite sure your answer will be a sharp. Trot her out and lets see just how good your evo/rex is puppy. LOL

yeh Roy, ill have to check if they are 2 piece or mono...im thinking casted 2piece.

and for Russ's 32 gtr...definetely nutz. He said he would be out at the next sprint meet at QR...so ill def go to see him in action...plus spy mission.

on a side note...we blew our turbo at todays meet :P

That was a tough break mike. That car is going to be something when you get the suspension sorted. I cant wait to see it again. Nice to meet you all too. Cheers from the grey haired old fart that bothered you today.

Not considered CSC's?

Everyone I've spoken to who run these are rapped with them, and if you shop around you can get them for a very good price, similar to the stoptechs. Combine this with local support and they seem like a good thing to me. A mate runs them on his S14 and they really do feel strong.

that GTR came 1.5seconds from the track record set by derik pingle in his Lola F1. pretty damn good to stay that close to the Lola!!! it was awsome to watch tho, he was with a small team of skylines at the gatton sprints wasnt he???

Hey savman, who is the local vendor for CSC? My google search turned up a bike team & a reference to LS1 forums....

gtrjason is running CSC. about 2 years ago they were on special and were good price at the time. having been in jasons car I can confirm it stops pretty bloody well. jason punts his car very hard and I haven't heard him complain of brake problems.

    • Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.
    • Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.
    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
