Excellent! Thanks very much!

The car is really starting to come together. Managed to get most of the panels on today with help from my brother and the guys at Pro Fabrication.

I was going to say how happy I was with the cheapo ganadors, till I noticed this:

Still needs a bit of work but we are getting there :yes:

I still have a set of those rears to go with them if you ever want them to complete the brake upgrade. Might also be getting one or two full sets of calipers.

And yeah i can say they look huge. But pics dont do them justice. They are gob smackingly massive in person.

They look huge in pics too haha - are you going to paint/powdercoat them?

They are a bit of a weird greenish grey colour. I think they are normally not powder coated or painted as they are for motorsport use, and any coating used would quickly be destroyed because of the huge amount of heat they have to deal with on a regular basis. Plus it would hinder the calipers ability to disperse heat.

Plus if you leave them uncoated, its light weight yo!! :laugh:

If funds permit - I would try and refurbish / paint them. As long as you have some ducting to cool the brakes you will be fine re: heat wise.

Dont get me wrong, painted up they look awesome. I believe another SAUer on here posted a while ago the refurb of his set of Alcon V8 Supercar calipers, and they looked unreal.

Here is the link:

Also for a list of the parts to refurb them you can contact a guy by the name of Philip Stubbs at alcon usa. [email protected] he is very helpful. Gave me as much info as i needed. Also when i let him know what calipers and size rotors id be running, he told me exactly what pad shape to use as well as thickness.

Or you can try and find the bits you need on their website. www.alconusa.com

When you find the part numbers you need, or even if you cant, this guy should be able to help you out with what you need.

These guys are the official Alcon distributor in Australia now as they bought PWR out.

He also got me a set of braided hoses made up to suit my huge ass alcons and the 32GTR, as well as a booklet of Alcon temperature stickers.

Hope this helps.

someone selling complete cars, but are these the hoshino's you're after? Might be able to convince him to sell. 17's though.

Does anyoone recognise the logo on the front spoiler in white? I believe it says "COCKPIT" but don't know who or what they do and where to find that logo.

It's the only one I'm missing!

Car is still at the tuners, f**king sick of it sitting in workshops!!!

Thanks for that, brakes are at the machinist now so I'll be looking for parts very soon. Might start out with some supercar teams to see if I can some cheap rotors or pads just to start off with.

From what I see they aren't the rim I'm after but thanks anyway :)

Saw these on a lancer the other day though and they look close enough!

However there's no f**king way I'm putting Starcorp wheels on my car so I'll just keeping looking for LMGT1's

We just had Braid make us some new wheels for the GIO and Winfield Car.....they where about $600 a rim delivered. Pretty sure if you have the design they will remake em in stud or centrelock.

    • Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R. 
    • Thanks. We getting some parts along too so he will be solving the speed issue like next week so i will let you know what he came up with.   
    • 21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.
    • Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.
    • Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
