I have Alcon front kit with 343 mm rotors, but thinking about these kits http://www.jdl-brakes.com/special-offer-alcon-adv-extreme-brake-kit-front-and-rear-nissan-skyline-r32-r33-r34-gtr.html What wheel do I need to clear 6 pistons calipers with 365 mm rotors ? 18x9 +15 would be ok ?

What wheels specifically? A R34 GTR rim won't really work as any small stone that gets caught between the caliper and wheel will get caught for example.

At JDL website, you can download caliper profile, and check clearance with your wheels : http://www.jdl-brakes.com/alcon-adv-extreme-brake-kit-front-6-pot-o365x32-nissan-skyline-r32-r33-r34-gtr.html

From my experience 9x18 ET15 will work ok with Alcon 6 piston caliper.

Will depend on the type of rim, I used the template and it did not clear my 18x10 +15 work meisters deep dish

Which model of work meisters do you have ?

My brother-in-law, has 18x9.5 +23 meisters on his R33GTR, and there is still 4-5 mm of clearance. Did you use template properly ?

Did you mean 6 pot Alcon kit as here : http://www.jdl-brakes.com/alcon-adv-extreme-brake-kit-front-6-pot-o365x32-nissan-skyline-r32-r33-r34-gtr.html

It would all depend on the disk faces of the rim:

R disk for: big caliper clearance.

A disk for: meh calipers.

O disk for: who cares about stopping, take the calipers off and get as much diiiiiish as you can.

mine are O disk, due to dish it tapers back on the back of the rim which fouls the calipers

Is the ATTKD brake kit from just jap the same product as D2's?

Also, UAS has a few interesting big brake kits under $3k

http://nismo.com.au/pricelists/pricelist_gtrbrakes.htm

Are they worthwhile upgrades? Namely the AP Racing upgrade

Which one is the 3k? Most prices appear to be either front or rear kits only not a set, may as well jump on the D2 groupbuy

Cheers thanks for the feedback

Will these fit under a lmgt4 18 x 9.5 +12? and yeah ive seen the template but im a lazy bastard lol

Yep. Here they are on mine (Using GTR JOEY's LM's at 18 x 9.5 + 12). They don't really fit under a R34 GTR wheel. Yes the wheel will go on, but there is so little room that little stones get caught between the caliper and the wheel.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
