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 :)

These ones?

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 :thumbsup:

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 :P

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 :D

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...

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.

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...

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
