OK, didn't want to ever let go of these brakes as they were very hard to source and are pretty much as good as it gets.. I bought the calipers, rotors and pads second hand but were in excellent condition as they were only used for a practice weekend for testing. The calipers were refurbished, this included repainting them, new piston seals, bridge pipe, bleed nipples, heat stickers etc. So they were practically brand new once redone, and still are since I'd be lucky to have done more than 500kms on the street with them, these have not been on the track since I got them on the car....

They were professionally painted by a panelbeater using a custom gold/bronze colour with a matt clear to give them the anodized look. The Alcon logo was painted in navy blue. Brand new Alcon heat stickers were also put on.

The hats and caliper brackets are billet cnc items, made by PWR in QLD who are the Aussie distributor for Alcon. The rear brakes still retain the factory hand brake drum so you can still use the handbrake. Currently on my car at the moment but the car is in storage so they will not get anymore use.

Included in the package is:

FRONTS

- 6 pot monoblock endurance calipers with titanium pistons

- 378MM X 35MM Alcon rotors

- PFC brake pads (30mm thick!!!)

- Billet hats anodized in black

- Billet caliper brackets anodized in black

REARS

- 4 pot monoblock endurance calipers with titanium pistons

- 343MM X 32MM Alcon rotors

- PFC brake pads

- Billet hats with handbrake drum anodized in black

- Billet caliper brackets anodized in black

These brakes are not only better in performance compared to the street Alcon kit PWR sells, but will also last longer as far as rotors and pads go. I found myself changing pads often with my previous Alcon 'street' kit due to the pads being almost half the thickness, these pads being 30mm thick will not get the heat transferred through the whole thickness of the pad and thus will last a lot longer, especially if used in sprints (4-5 laps) as I was using them for. I also went through a set of rotors with the old setup being 32mm thick, these are 35mm thick. So therefore the cost difference between the street kit and the V8 supercar kit I have for sale will deminish over time making these brakes an absolute bargain!!! PWR sell the V8 supercar kit for over $22k new!!!! >_<

Unique Autosports also have them for sale, check the link below:

OK, here's some pics:

PRICE: $11K ono

NOTE: These brakes may not fit some 18 inch wheels due to the width of the caliper, especially wheels with big dish due to the spokes sitting close to the centre of the wheel. I found many of the Rays/Volk wheels (TE37, LMGT4, CE28N etc..) will not have any such problems.

Will ship interstate at buyer's cost, PM or reply here if interested.

Brakes located in Narre Warren North, VIC.

Cheers,

Jack

Fark!!!! just bought a full alcon kit for my gtr 2 months ago from PWR would rather put a few extra $$ together and bought these.Great brakes good luck with the sale.

Thanks for the comments guys, they are truly special. Brake p0rn at it's finest!!

Couple more pics...

:cheers:

God you always have Awsome stuff for sale!

So much want, so little need!

Free bump!

Lol, unfortunately don't have the time these days to play around with GTR's so better off let somebody else enjoy the gear that I have accumulated over 10 years.

The car itself will be up for sale shortly aswell, might hang onto it for the SAU Nationals to enjoy it one more time but have only driven it twice this year. :closedeyes:

PMs replied....

Please tell me Aaron got them. I have an almost identical set-the front calipers alone are worth just over half the asking price.

Whoever got them, well done!

Unfortunately no, although he was using everything had to hold back!!!!!

All I can say is that they are going on a time attack GTR, I'm sure you will see this car in the not too distant future.

Apparently the front calipers are worth $5k each brand new!!!!

I'm pretty sure the new owner is chuffed.....

:cheers:

I'm shattered but glad, because for every moment they were available I was trying to work out what I could sell to fund these.

Congrats to the new owner, I'm very jealous :D

:D

Seems like somebody can't wipe their smile off their face!!!! :cheers:

Jack, did your last set of 'blow your load' spec brakes sell? I think you wanted about 7K for them.

Yes mate they are long gone, made their way up to Brisbane just like this set did....

My brake whoring days are over.... For now... :pirate:

Come to think of it, I've gone from:

- Standard Brembos

- then Brembo F50 kit

- then Alcon 'street' kit

- then Alcon 'street' kit with bigger and thicker rotors

- then Alcon V8 super car kit

I think I'm due for some 8 pot mono block endurance Brembos with carbon ceramic rotors...

Maybe NOT..... :thumbsup:

Awww damn... I was even considering buying these off you Jack!! :P I don't even have a GTR to put them on, but I would have found a way to fit them to the S15 :worship: Nevermind.. I am still rather envious though :yes:

    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
