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.

    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, i will do abit more digging. I am missing a blue relay near the ECU connector... so i will chase that up in the next few days as well  
    • https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
