Brake Upgrade

[ferni]

You probably could with a lot of stuffing around, but you wouldn't want to...

[maccattack]

Cool - brake purchase subsidy it is then

[ferni]

JAGR33 runs the Alcon kit. He bought the front set and loves them, a few months later he bought the rears as well.... He has close to your power as well....

Also as SK would say - increase corner speed then you don't need to brake as much

[maccattack]

Same with increase ball size - reduce braking requirement

[Roy]

Hey you can do just about anything....though i wouldnt put the GTR brembos on the back. Plus i think you will find you will be hard pressed to package it all back there

[Willo]

I've got Grex brakes which are rebadged Alcons. If you are Paul's next track day come have a chat.

[Roy]

So are they the 4 pot Alcon (Type B) calipers that run the 330mm?

[djr81]

These ones?

Thanks Willo, I'll do just that.

Sure they are 4 pot Alcons but Greddy/Trust have never released those Alcons under the Grex banner. The ones you have attached are the latest Monobloc which to the best of my understanding are only available through Alcon and not contract manufactured for anyone else.

Attached is the Alcon caliper that is contract manufactured for GREX. Typically the kits use 330x32mm rotors. My mates S14 used to run them and they are a very nice caliper. Slightly more comapct then the F50s etc as well, though they dont run as big a piston either which is probably why they are better stuited to the slighly smaller rotors that most GTR guys like to run

They are quite a nice caliper and relatively cheap these days. you can buy them new for about $1750-1800. I almost bought them instead of the F50s i have, but i wanted to run a larger then 330mm rotor....i ended up grabbing the F40s simply because these run the slightly larger pistons and can are perfect for the 343mm rotors that i have.

Starting to regret not spending the extra $200 over the F50s and getting the 6 pot Alcons...lol so many brake setups sitting around my house...today i want understaded std GTR Brembo loooking calipers, tommorrow i want scream at me i have big brakes

ya should get t01-100's ap racing calipers http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=185497

there ken huge.

[Roy]

I saw those. So tempted to buy them , only i think the price of pads would be about half what you pay for the calipers. Also i doubt there would be anything but competition pads readily available for them...and then because they are 30mm thk pads would take forever to warm up. But they are oh so awesome looking calipers

[Kaido_RR]

i have a question, im running AP Racing 4-pot Caliper with a 323disc was just wondering if it is possible to run a larger disc something like 355? i was told it is possible by adding spacer in the brackets

[Roy]

What part number are the APs? Its possible, but im willing to bet the biggest rotor you are able to use is 330mm

[Kaido_RR]

i think they are CP5200

[JAGR33]

Maccattack - I have the Alcon kit front and rear, awesome stopping power with no fade whatsoever.. I also run the Nismo brake ducts...

Highly recommend it....

I'm actually quite surprised your getting more than 2 laps with the power output of your car.... Scotsman on these forums has around 340rwkw with standard Brembo calipers DBA 5000 rotors and the brakes are cactus after 2 hot laps at Sandown...

[Ronin 09]

Jack, who on here is still running just front AP CP5555s? snowflake has rears as far a i know... how do they go at Sandown?

[maccattack]

Jack,

If you don't mind asking - how much did you pay for the full kit??

I have been quoted about $5k for the fronts alone.

Jack,

I bought mine through Unique Autosports, was about $8.4k for the whole kit, so 5k for the fronts sounds about right...

Check here: http://www.nismo.com.au/pricelists/pricelist_gtrbrakes.htm

Although the kit comes with Ferodo DS2500 pads for the front, if you ask nicely I'm sure John at UAS will chuck in the Ferodo DS3000's instead....

DS2500 are good for the street, but with your car you'll need the DS3000's....

And here's a pic of the brake kit on the car...
