Alcon Brake Upgrade Group Buy

GTR brake upgrade,

I have been speaking to Brakes direct and have got some prices for brake upgrades with a 5% discount on 3 purchases and greater discounts with more interest

Alcon 6 pot fronts 378mm with 2 piece DBA 5000 rotors normally $2997 ($2848) with current discount

Alcon 6 pot fronts 365mm with 2 piece DBA 5000 rotors normally $2697 ($2562) with current discount

Alcon 4 pot Rear 335mm with 2 piece DBA 5000 rotors normally $2497 ($2373) with current discount (works with standard handbrake assembly)

All kits come with street brakes and can be upgraded for race pads depending on what you prefer for aprox $200 more.

Greatest advantage of this kit and reason for the cheaper price is the ability to run DBA rotors instead of Alcons which would run almost double the price.

The replacement cost on rotors is $385 for 365mm and $399 for 378mm each

All kits come with mounting brackets and offer free delivery Australia wide.

If all goes well order will be placed by the end of the month.

If you are genuinely interested please send me a PM as i will be posting this on a few pages.

What do the mounting brackets look like? Can we use standard/existing lines? Also whats the thickness of the rotors and any modification required to fit a 32gtr?

i have been told they are direct bolt on with the correct bracket and the original lines should be compatible. i forgot to ask about thickness of rotor tho so not sure, but feel free to call and ask them. brackets will look something like this depending on model

How is the clearance with the 365mm under stock gtr rims? Does it retain the stock lengrh brake lines? (I have HEL braided lines)

Also is it possible to buy just the caliper and adaptor by itself?

Cheers

365 clearance will be ok, 375 leaves very small gap, stones get caught and cut into rims as was discovered on a friends 32R.

Also adapters will work fine for your car Tim, you will need to space it out and shave a few mm off the hub to fit

Just an update guys, Anybody who is interested due to being a group buy the wait time on these calipers may be between 4-6 weeks.

We have been offered an alternative which i think is even better, We have been offered a free upgrade to the race version of this caliper.

The racing calipers are 600grams lighter than the road caliper, they have a removable bridge which makes changing pads a whole lot easier, and they come with knock back spring which helps keep constant pressure on the pads which reduces the need to pump the brake pedal when flying into a corner, and also helps reduce pad knock off.

These are normally $1000 more then the regular calipers so a much larger saving then the 5%.

The group buy will begin Monday and be closed by Wednesday at the latest.

If you choose to jump on board just call brakes direct on 1300724943.

PS the new caliper looks much nicer

No problem, i just ordered mine now.

I also ordering a custom bracket made up for the rear brembos to space them out to run 350mm DBA 4000, 370z discs, with same pattern as the fronts.

Kit includes 2 brackets and 2 350mm DBA 4000 rotos, for $750.

Caliper picture and details for the motorsport model.

Sounds like an awesome deal for anyone looking for an upgrade.

I already have R34 Brembo 4 pots on my S14 and a pair of AP Racing 4 pots sitting around and am tempted to grab the 365mm kit!

I'm finding Brakes Direct website hard to get around.

Can anyone comment on the hats and brackets they use? Also any experience with DBA 5000 series rotors vs Alcon would be great.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
