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.

If you received 100 GBP from discounted price, it means 1400 GBP discount from retail price.

I went ahead with the order because even after postage, taxes and discounts it was still a lot cheaper than sourcing them locally. All depends on exchange rate as well.

Hey mate if possible could PM what you payed in total for the kit

Thanks

A word of warning, those standard issue pads are not very good when pushing the car hard at all. I took my thing up Springwood road, out near Richmond in NSW (basiclaly a 4 km sprint up a hill. 1st and second gear, I may have snatched 3rd once) and you could feel the pads not liking it. Got a tad spongy.

Yeah, I found that too, I still haven't fitted my PMU Club Racers yet.....They should make the car stop on a dime!

I've heard good things about the Pagid pads. Black and yellows or something.

Anyone know if Endless make a pad in their CC-RG compound that will fit. I had those on standard brembo setup and they were nothing short of awesome!

Alcon kits are road legal in UK so they come with ferodo ds performance pads. They are ok for street use but not for track. I found same information in manual included in box with brakes. Yellow pagid RS29 are the best option for alcons imo. They work from cold, don't squeak, and are very "friendly" for discs. RS19 are not available for alcon 6 / 4 pistons. I checked with jdl last month.

RS29 is the "yellow" Pagid Paul that people speak of... Pagid make two "yellow" and the RS-19 is the lower spec of the two :)

Yeah, Jack said he was running these when he used this kit. He was happy with them.

Hence why I'm not even bothering with the DS performance pads and was recommended either club racers or Pagid Rs29.

Have a read, explains some common brand pads for either street or track.

I never ran out of brakes with DS2500 on the street with a 356mm rotor.

Even on a 15min hills run... And I'm not one to take it easy

ahhhh....that only say's your no good at braking!

Grow some hairy ones me thinks!

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
