Has anyone used PMU with Alcons ? I use Pagid RS29, they perform excellent, but why not try something different.

By the way anyone interested in group buy for Pagid RS29 http://www.jdl-brakes.com/nissan-skyline-r32-r33-r34-gt-r.html

Yes I am using the pmu club racers with alcons. No squealing whatsoever, heaps of bite when cold on the street and excellent on the track!

How much could you get the pagids for in a group buy? And how would they compare to the club racers? I find there is no reason to swap them out for a different pad on the street as they are totally street able and ready to go when you hit the track

I have to check with JDL.

Discounted price is £269 for front pads http://www.jdl-brakes.com/pagid-rs29-front-pads-for-alcon-6-pot-caliper.html and £255 for rear http://www.jdl-brakes.com/pagid-rs29-pads-for-alcon-4-pot-caliper.html but I'm sure we can get better price if there are 2-3 buyers.

Are people changing/upgrading their master cylinders with these big brake kits?

Changing from 242 to 262 (yes laugh away people :woot: ) on the Honda required me to upgrade the booster and MC as well.

Before doing so, the pedal was very low and spongy even after bleeding.

Any luck with part numbers of PMU pads ?

As it happens there isn't a rear pad at the moment in the PMU club racer pads, so I got two sets of fronts as the rear pad is the same shape as the front, just shorter, so I will cut them down to suit (have done this before, very easy)

There will be a pad coming soon for the rears, but I can give you the front pad number if anyone needs it.

Have any of you thought about contacting PMU in Southport QLD for your pads?

I spoke to them about getting some pads for my newly accquired LeMans Daytona Prototype Alcon calipers.

I didnt know the pad shape or anything (custom setup going on an R32 GTR), so here is how i went about it:

Emailed alcon usa [email protected] and told them what calipers and size rotors (diameter and thickness) I would be using and asked them what pad shape and thickness i could use.

They should answer your questions in a coulpe of days. Should be easier with an off the shelf kit.

Alcon usa also have a list on their site which gives you comparison part numbers so you can see what the part number would be for pagid=raybestos=pfc=brembo etc.

Then take the part numbers alcon has given you with the max thickness they have given you and send an email to PMU [email protected]
Tell them what you are using the car for and they will recommend a compound for your use. Unless you know what compound you want to run. Then tell them you want a quote and lead time, and they will fix you up.

With mine, because they are motorsport brakes which i will be using on the street mainly, with quite a few track days in mind, they suggested the HC+. But because they dont normally make that pad shape in that compound, they can get them made and brought in from Japan in 3 to 4 weeks, at a fairly decent price too might i add.

So if you can plan ahead, this is a very good option.

Hi Roy

Wheel alignment is good, had that done recently with new rs3 rubber and have front and rear new alcons. The ride hight is fixed with the stune suspension so not sure what I can do about that. The car does stop straight under hard braking as in Im not wresting the steering wheel or anything, its just the rear end feels like it gets light and squirms a little under very hard braking. Ive gotten use to it now but at the start it was a little weird. Ive tried lower rear tyre pressures and that helped a bit but I would still like it to be more stabble. Stiffer front springs or higher at the front maybe?

Nice surprise Alcon 6 pistons 365 mm fit with OEM R34 GTR wheels : http://www.skyline-forum.de/showthread.php/18568-Alcon-big-brake-kit

They fit, but not a good idea. Only takes a very small stone to get between the caliper and the wheel and it doesn't fit.

Does anyone plan to order front and rear kit from JDL ? I think, if there are more buyers than me, we can get better price.

I'm interested to order this kit http://www.jdl-brakes.com/special-offer-alcon-adv-extreme-brake-kit-front-and-rear-nissan-skyline-r32-r33-r34-gtr.html, so if you haven't ordered yet please PM me, and we may ask for discount

Me and V8cat have already ordered and received them but the discount wasn't that significant (100 GBP) considering how much you end up spending with shipping and taxes.

But the brakes do look amazing and should be fitting them on shortly once I get my PMU club racers.

    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
