Gt-r's Past Their Used By Date?

[Roy]

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.

Not sure but they offer a 355 rotor as well. Damned if I could get that size rotor to fit anywhere near my 17" rims.

[Roy]

Are you running the older 2 pce Alcon 4 pots or the newer monoblock? Either way i think you will find 343mm is more the norm for rotors in 17"...unless you are lucky with good wheels like TE37/LM GT4 and calipers that really saddle the rotor well

[tjandriesen]

lol, how is it that every GTR thread these days seems to end up talking about brakes? haha

Because people who own GTR's want to do more than burn rubber on the street....

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

[Roy]

If that is Giants R32 then yeh, i agree. It is over the hill

Its a perfect example of money spent in the right places and the excellent results you can get

[r33_racer]

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

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.

[sav man]

We have CSC front and rear (4pot) on the Targa car. There great, I would recomend them to anyone.

[djr81]

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

[Roy]

Stuart O'Grady is a god

[djr81]

Floyd Landis is a drugs cheat.

Are we off topic yet?

[Angus Smart]

Are the dba 5000 rotors about $500 a pair?

i'm looking at adapting them to suit my f50 brembos since the replacment rotors are about $500 a piece.

[Ant97GTR]

Are the dba 5000 rotors about $500 a pair?

Actually try around $400-500 EACH!

Although thats sized for and R33 gtr with brembos

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???

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.
