How much power do you have?

Hi Nismoid, 245atwk at the moment,I have intententions of 350atwk in the future hence I have already installed a series 3 gearbox,4000lb Jim Berry clutch and I am seeking Xenon lights and better brakes.Cheers Greypearl.

I've got Ferrari F50 calipers with a 2 piece rotor setup and they are definitely a well matched setup for mid 300kw cars.

I'm not sure what they are worth brand new but i have seen the calipers floating around for $1500 for the pair at times. I've never had any issue's with stopping aside from needing the rotor's replaced due to heat cracks.

Pads aren't too expensive to replace either, i've just picked up ferodo DS2500's for it for under $500.

Hi Guys,Thanks for the replies,I think I'm going for the group buy as it seems a good price for what you get.Cheers Greypearl.

yeah I run brembo F50s now too with 355mm rotors and manage to fit them under 17inch nismo LM GT4s. they are a good strong calliper and with 355mm rotors give good braking and heat handling. there are shitloads of pad options for F50 callipers too.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
