Which Big Brake Kit

[Piggaz]

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

[R.3.2.G.T.R]

yes used the template correctly from the site, confirmed printout with the measurement on the template

my rims are S1 2P

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.

[R.3.2.G.T.R]

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

[R32GOJIRA]

Yeah, with O disk, you will never fit big brakes unless you use a spacer. I dont think they even clear the Brembo calipers that come on the GTR.

[DaanGTR]

Ok I see. The wheels what I mentioned above are R disks.

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

[R.3.2.G.T.R]

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

Under $3k you can get Alcon shipped to you http://www.jdl-brakes.com/alcon-adv-extreme-brake-kit-front-6-pot-o365x32-nissan-skyline-r32-r33-r34-gtr.html

For the front and back inc shipping $4850. Is that roughly the total price you guys paid for the 365x32 350x28 rear kit?

[DaanGTR]

Very good price !

[dkbcleaner]

Are the brake lines that come with the kit ADR approved? And is the kit defectable?

[R.3.2.G.T.R]

pretty sure they wont be, u could try HEL brake kits that was previously done as a groupbuy, they are ADR approved

No issue at all, after 2 years of hard use. Plus great service and support from JDL.

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.
