Hi everyone, I am in the process of setting my car up for regular track days. I have most things in order except the brakes. Here is my issue, I am happy to upgrade the rotors and pads on the standard brembo's, But I don't want to if the brakes aren't really up to regular track days. If there not, I would prefer to spend the money on a ATTKD kit from just jap..

So I guess I am after people opinions/advice/feedback on whether the R33 brembo's in general (assuming they are in good condition) are up to track days or should I just spend the money now and set up for the future in a way and buy a ATTKD Kit.

Cheers

Im still using std gtst calipers, with upgraded rotors, pads, fluid and braided lines, cut off the stone guards and javnt had any probs at track, no brake fade yet, but use good fluid and decent gear... Rbf660 fluid is good

What state/tracks will you be driving? What power, what suspension, what weight and what tyres ? Superspeints where you only get 4 or so laps or open pit track days where you blast around untiul you run out of fuel :)

The std gear is pretty good and you can get good results out of it....but they can quickly become marginal if you are simply asking too much from them

I will probably be doing open track days at wakefield to start of with. The car is standard weight with about 300kw, with kuhmo semi slicks, greddy coilovers.

Cheers for the reply guys

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
