^ already updated you last week :)

Don't want to interfere here, but Alcons don't have to be expensive http://www.jdl-brake...33-r34-gtr.html

Maybe they are not such cheap as D2, but I'm pretty sure quite similar.

Well don't :)

1. That kit is on special, even at that price it wouldn't be here with ADR lines for less than $5500

2. It's normal price would put it at around $8000.

Hi,

Checked the kit page for IMPREZA GC8 (WRX).356Front ... so put me done for these ! :)

Cheers

Robert Blandford

Done!

What colour / pad?

Of course, Alcon with mono block forged caliper won't be cheaper than chinese D2, but I meant Alcons don't have to cost $8000 what people suggest.

I went trough checkout from this link http://www.jdl-brakes.com/special-offer-alcon-adv-extreme-brake-kit-front-and-rear-nissan-skyline-r32-r33-r34-gtr.html and front ( 6 pot forged mono, with 365 mm discs ) and rear ( 4 pot forged mono, with 350 mm discs ) kit less than $4950 shipped to Australia, for SINGLE purchase ( not 25-50 sets group buy )

Edited by DaanGTR

Ye a single, clearance purchase. Then add GST / ADR lines and it's exactly what i said. :rolleyes:

Go and argue pointlessness somewhere else. If you are not interested, don't post.

I'll find out if the 330mm can be done any cheaper, either way currently /w ADR lines it's still cheaper than you can get anywhere else :)

Post up when you are firm and on the list you shall go!

Ash,

Is there a better price for the 330mm?

I've already got 2 sets of 33gtr wheels with semi's & have no intention of ever going bigger, I'm pretty sure I won't fit the 356mm kit in.

A few more questions:

I already have braided ADR approved lines, will the lengths be right to work with these or are they custom? Any cheaper without the lines? If they are the same I guess I can just ebay them to someone else but would like to know before I sell them off thinking they are a direct fit for standard brakes.

What is the price/availability for replacement discs? Are any other readily available 2pce discs interchangeable? (eg. DBA)

I would be after the race pad, I thought I first read Ferodo DS2500? is this correct or are they generic, no further information given?

I'm already running R34gtt brakes on the 32, had to drill mounting holes out to 14mm(?), that would mean I order a kit to suit 34 Gtt correct?

Does anything else need to be done to bias to get maximum performance out of these, at the moment I'm locking the rears on the track since I fitted the 34 brakes, I haven't changed anything from standard, are these more likely to exacerbate the problem or remedy .

Cheers,

Rob

Picture me waving my fist Rob :laugh:

Ok...

1. Price - Not yet. Aaron is following up on this. We only got back from SAU Nats a couple days ago.

2. They will be the same lengths as that of the kit. Every kit/model has differences so the ADR lines will be made to match what would come with the kit.

3. It won't be any cheaper without the brake lines as the need to be bulk purchased in order to get decent pricing as part of the GB for everyone.

4. Import Monster can organise this easily. They are readily available. I'll find out a price when i can... You can use AP Rotors, but of course you will need to lube up if you want too. I found the rotors the kit comes with to be exceptional and were fine in my R33 GTR and you know how i drove that :)

5. DS2500 was simply discussion earlier, the pads will be the generic D2 Racing pad. I've used the "Street" version and it was quite decent.

6. If you are already running R34 - you will need R34 kit as you've said, the mount is different etc.

7. Bias - I was running stock R33 BMC with front only - never had an issue (no-one else does either). Sounds like you just need to upgrade to a R33 BMC and then put them front only and it should be A-OK given a Skyline is very front heavy the rears aren't a "must have" to balance.

Lemme know of anything else mate.

Picture me waving my fist Rob :laugh:

Is this fist waving above or below desk?? Not sure if I want to picture the later. :3some:

Sweet as, thanks Ash. You answered everything for now.

Re. brake bias, on closer inspection maybe I have a brake booster from an ABS 300ZX that is slightly different from standard. Don't know if its related. ABS is disconnected at the moment due to a damaged sensor from the nose of the rear diff, been chasing a replacement but not having much luck finding an ABS 32 diff that isn't from a 4wd car. I haven't been able to confirm whether S14/15 or R33 gtst diff sensor is a straight fit either but may be an option.

Cheers

Hey Guys

I've gone through the thread and I've put together all the answers to questions I could find in an email to Ash so he can reply and also update the original post :)

Cheers

Aaron

Update - I should have info on REAR's sorted in the next 48hrs. Still a question to clarify, then I'll post for everyone :)

Also have a price on 380mm, waiting rear confirm there too

Ok, lock me in for a 356mm front kit. "Street" pads for a s2 R33 and yellow calipers.

Keen for a rear kit also, i will advise once the price is confirmed.

Cheers :cheers:

Ok updates are as follows, please read them carefully as it jumps around.

I will include them into the first post (where appropriate), so laying them out clearly in this post so people don't miss them that are reading the updates.

1. Those purchasing Rear Brake Kits

Each Rear Kit will count for an extra "slot" of the GB. This will aid in getting the first 25 sets out to you guys to speed it up :)

2. Rear Brake Option/Pricing

REAR rotor setup - 330mm disc / 4 piston caliper - ADR Lines to suit. The rotor is not the same as the "330mm front" as it allows for handbrake (as already posted in this thread).

Price: $1800 inc ADR lines (RRP is $1950, no ADR lines).

You can get a larger than 330mm if you like, but Skylines are very front bias, everyone usually does a 356mm/330mm front/rear so hence that's the only option being listed to keep the balance right. If you'd like something larger PM me and I'll go through that with you as I don't want to cloud the thread too much.

3. 330mm FRONT Kit Pricing

Pricing for the 330mm FRONT kit is: $1700 inc ADR lines

4. Race Pads

Those wanting Race Pads - It costs an extra $220 to upgrade from the "Street" pad to the "Race" pad as part of your kit.

So if you want Race Pad you need to advise if you are OK with this. (RRP: $250 for upgrade). This also applies to the rear kits as well (so $440 total).

Apologies for the pricing change here. Wasn't made clear to me initially.

5. 380mm FRONT Kit Offering

380mm FRONT kit is now also on offer. Price is $2500 inc ADR lines

6. Non-Standard Caliper Colour

This can be done - cost is $150 extra over the standard colours listed in the first post

I think that's it guys, anything else post up. If you guys that were waiting on rear sets and other things could confirm ASAP, would be good :)

Thanks Nismoid, at this stage i will just get a front 356mm set, yellow calipers, street pads etc.

Rears can wait till after christmas :)

Cheers.

Updated :cheers:

Also Anthony on top of colour, please confirm the car/kit. Assuming it's R32 GT-R kit based on comments for now :)

Postage costs will be available hopefully tomorrow arvo for everyone for Major Metro centres (Bris, Melb, Adel etc), covering around 20-25km from the CBD area.

Anyone outside that postage is no problem, just have to post up and Aaron will track down a quote.

Will also have box weight/dimensions so people can do their own research, although Import Monster bulk freight pricing is very hard to beat ;)

Hey Guys I've given Ash the info on shipping prices and of course we're more than happy for you to arrange your own pickups if wanted. The prices we've quoted are fully insured against loss and/or damage so that's just one thing to keep in mind when shopping around - all freight companies are not created equal!

I've been running a set of these brakes for about 5 years now, so it was time to change the pads and rotors. Cheap and easy to do, I've posted a DIY here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/414681-diy-replacing-pads-and-rotors-on-d2g4attkd-etc-8-piston-brakes/

And here it is for everyone @ home. I've updated first post as well. I gotta say, pretty damn good pricing here as well.

Kit Dimensions:

D2 Front 8 piston kit 356mm

Dimensions: 66 x 43 x 27

Weight: 36.5KG

Shipping Pricing:

Sydney $38 for one set and $120 for 5 sets

Perth $70 for one set and $350 for 5 sets

Adelaide $38 for one set and $120 for 5 sets

Hobart $68 for one set and $320 for 5 sets

Darwin $105 for one set and $390 for 5 sets

Brisbane $55 for one set and $200 for 5 sets

Canberra $45 forn one set and $180 for 5 sets

All of the above prices carry full insurance coverage against loss or damage. There are cheaper shipping options for some, but they are not fully insured.

I was waiting for a "Hello, this is DOG" meme photo :laugh:

Good DIY, very handy for people on the GB - top work!

So would it be worth doing the rear on a 32 gtr then? Im keen just not sure if I want to go front and rear or just fronts....Does anyone have just the fronts fitted to their 32s??

    • Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.
    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
