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.

: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:

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:

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
