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...

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
