Some pics would be good.

Condition?

Type of discs?

Seals ok?

Type of pads?

How much life left?

Dog bones and hats custom made or prefab?

Come with lines?

What brand?

These are the sorts of things people will want to know when buying this sort of thing for this sort of price.

Condition? Excellent as above says 2000kms 2 track days Id still like to see some pics of the actual setup without a rim so I can see what they look like.

Type of discs? Alcon as above says How thick are they? What groove pattern? How many vanes? What is the max thickness rotor the caliper can take?

Seals ok? there on my car which i drive OK

Type of pads? fs2500 OK

How much life left? 72.342524362543% No need to be smart. How thick are they? What is the max thickness the caliper can take?

Dog bones and hats custom made or prefab? i custom Out of what material?

Come with lines? No OK

What brand?Alcon as above I was asking about the lines if it came with them.

All of these questions are need to know things for this calibre of hardware.

I have a spare rear pair of calipers and am genuinely considering building another setup.

If you could get a decent pic and some of the details I was asking about man, I would really appreciate it

Its all good. But yeah, I probably am a little fussy when it comes to this sort of thing ;)

Id love to actually come check them out in person, however with work and other commitments, I am a little hard pressed for spare time.

Like I said, i have a spare pair of rears from parts I have obtained, and was thinking I may be able to build another complete setup, with the intention of possibly selling to a fellow SAUer (as a complete kit is easier to offload than just calipers lol)

Ive just seen people in the past say "V8 supercar calipers", when in actual fact they are just a street version or something completely different.

thickness of rotor is 31.91mm

i measured that the rotor can take 36mm

i counted 50 vanes

no brand on lines

but this was on the line

dot bw 1/8 seae j 1481 86/85

need any mor pics let me know

I really appreciate the pics you have taken man.

However, these are not the calipers I was expecting.

The V8 supercar caliper I know have a removable bridge piece and a quick release pad retainer.

They may be V8 supercar calipers, but if they are, they would be from a very old year make, or possibly from the NZ V8 supercars.

Sorry man, but ill have to pass on these. Thanks anyway.

^^ doing Le Mans?

Funny you say that, but I actually have a brake setup with alcon calipers front and rear from a lemans daytona prototype car lol.

Is that pic from when they were installed on car? The bleed nipples are on the wrong end of caliper. Looks like they need to be swapped over to be suitable to run on a Nissan

Can you confirm rotor part no.? At 31.9mm they are near brand new 32mm rotor or undersized 35-36mm rotor. Can you confirm caliper part no as well? They arent V8 Supercar calipers but perhaps the rotors are.

Looks like its a kit that has been pieced together using the Mono6 Alcon street caliper. But there are two versions of the Mono6. One is for a 32mm rotor the other for 35.5mm that also takes diameters up to 410mm

Doesn't change the fact they are installed wrong and should someone want to buy them they will need to quickly swap over the bleed nipples so that the pistons are orientated correctly to the rotation of the rotor. If you don't then you may experience hot spots on pads and uneven pad wear

      Sorry had a bit of a week and haven't had heaps of time to follow this, so apologies if I've missed something - any chance of showing a log with the rpm, turbo speed, MAP, and wgdc all in one view? Definitely an "interesting" problem, and while it's definitely worth noting that there was a similar issue with the twins I'd not completely put all bets on the root cause being the same thing.  Keep an open mind, follow the data.

      I built this engine approximately 12 years ago so my own head (brain) is a little grey on the exact hardware in the RB head, however what I recall is. Stock RB25 NEO TURBO Intake Camshaft HKS 260 degree Exhaust Camshaft (R34 GTR) RB25 NEO Turbo Springs  I ported/removed the exhaust stud humps found in the RB25 head so theres less turbulence but it wasn't ported/polished properly, just a hump removal. I've attached two pictures of the before and after to illustrate.     The ECU gets its boost reference from the nipple on the rear of the head on the intake side, behind the fuel rail. The wastegate gets its boost reference from a nipple on the cooler pipe immediately after the comp cover.  Could a decent pressure drop across the intercooler cause the wastegate to be seeing a higher PSI than what the ECU is seeing, and thus it can't control it accurately and quick enough?   We ran a line to the actuator and watched it open and close using an air compressor, while we didn't have a gauge on the line to see when it was cracking open, it was opening smoothly.  I just removed the gate now and even though the documentation says you need to open it in a vice due to preload (which I did), there wasn't any preload on the cap, which is something we noticed straight out of the box as well when new. This silver cap internally is threaded to the actuator rod that runs out the bottom of the straightgate. Not sure how I'm supposed to get this spring out to be frank.. Potentially but everyone else doesn't appear to have to stop at 500kw because of 6boosts design.  I would, but I think I'm getting to that point where if I'm going to do the head and make another 100kw, then I'm going to need a fancy gearbox and quite a few other things and 10k becomes 20k becomes 30k within a few months. I'm not necessarily sold on the idea just yet that the head is restrictive at 4000rpm (and what.. 300kw?) and yet doesn't seem to be restrictive at 7000rpm when it's making 500kw, however I'm obviously not closing the door on that theory.

      Yeah - Half the problem is I know this sensor actually goes to 150C.. I'm pretty certain it is min of 11C. So still more data required I suppose. It's really quite hard to get the oil temp to 100+ then immediately pull over and take a reading before the temp drops. Annoyingly I suppose the range I really 'want' is likely 80 -> 120C. TBH the ecu can't really *do* anything with it, and the gauge itself is very visible... ...but you know how it is.

      My EFR 8474 Black, made 800awhp on a roller dyno. at 25-26psi. E85. Shaft speed was around 106,000rpm 1.01 rear. The rear is maxed.  6 boost Turbosmart 60mm gate 3.5inch exhaust  Head is worked to the shithouse. Bain racing. VCam. 272 exhaust. RB28 - RB26 foundation.  You have an intake issue. Start getting proper data and I mean go back to the simple things.  - Pressure test your intake - Block off the Turbo BOV, you don't need it.  - Test pressure before and after your intercooler If your head is pretty stock, that is your issue. Especially if it is NA.  Take it off and spend $10k on it.

      Temp = -21.052 X Voltage + 114   That should get you pretty close. Calcs based on two points I could do easy calcs on (30 and 70 degrees).   It also says your sensor should only read as low as 9 degrees when it maxes out at 5V, and should hit a peak of 114 degrees at 0V... Just as a heads up if you were going really cold places, or wanting to be aware when temps really go up with it.
