Hey guys, I'm looking at a budget big brake kit for my r33 gts25t. 

I've been looking at the alcon 6 pot front and 4 pot rear, but $6000 is out of my budget. 

I've done some research, I can pickup porsche/Mercedes/Cadillac 6 pot calipers for $800-1000. Has anyone been running these on their r33 and know if theres custom dogbone kits for them? 

Otherwise any other cheaper options for a 6 pot front and 4 pot rear? 

Thank you ?

Other than looks or very serious track use, I'm not sure why you would need anything other than upgraded pads and rotors. But if you are determined to upgrade the ATTKD stuff is by far the best bang for buck - $2k for brand new calipers, pads, rotors, lines and the required adapters https://justjap.com/catalog/product/view/id/20577/s/attkd-brake-kit-nissan-skyline-r33-93-98/

There was a recent discussion and some people have gone the alpha omega Evo 10 kit for skylines which is also a good option but doesn't compare price wise unless you have access to good condition evo 10 calipers

Another vote for the ATTKD kit from justjap, mine has been flawless. Don't buy the K-sport kit, thry are a bunch of useless lying flogs that wouldn't know the right kit if it fell off their shelf and hit them in their stupid head..

Ok vented now.

Hey Duncan, 

Ended up buying the Attkd kit you suggested thank you ?

My friend is running the Alpha Omega Kit on his 34, he has issues with pad squeal because the pad over laps the rotor. He's waiting to see how I go with this kit (just encase anyone reading this thread is looking at the evo swap option, otherwise he's happy with it) 

Thank you.

Evo brembo's are notorious for squeeling even on an actual evo! mine squeeled the whole time i owned one ?

Haha yeh, squealy brakes never annoyed me on the Skyline. On the Falcon or the Territory absolutely, but in the Skyline it just felt like part of the package. Goes with the loud fuel pumps and the hard suspension ?

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
