R31Nismoid Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 Added (will confirm rear pricing when i can) Street pad was fine in my R33 GTR for hill runs and similar @ 360rwkw and lots of traction. Long as you don't ask 10/10ths for 10mins+ straight /w heavy braking, you'll be very happy Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/413182-big-brake-group-buy-skyline-silvia-stagea-wrx-evo-all-makesmodels/page/3/#findComment-6620320 Share on other sites More sharing options...
chavey Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Put me on the list for sure for the 356mm front kit for my 32 gtr with the black anodized caliper and sport pad with the rear kit also. Plus I read you need a kit for the hand brake for the rear calipers I'll get that too!

NISR32.5 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I'm pretty interested aswell, can you get me a price on the 356mm rear for 32 gtr aswell when you have time. Cheers. About the handbrake issue, the way I read it was that you will only need a hydrolic handbrake if you want to use this setup for drifting. Otherwise the calipers work like normal. Maybe I'll read that again....

Maybe I'll read that again.... I read the same thing. Standard handbrake setup works fine with the D2 rear kit, as long as you're not using it for drifting. If you are, you need a hyraulic setup and second caliper. I don't have a handbrake, I have a foot brake. So no funny business in the whale.

chavey Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Ok then fair enough I'm sure I read the rear kit is 304mm and requires the kit to make it work properly and it's about $200 but if I don't need it then even better.

DaanGTR Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 As i said earlier - same pad size as the AP Racing caliper in the 356mm size, I think the code is AP5555 from memory. I ran the 356mm kit on the front only - without rears. It didn't affect the ABS at all as Skylines are far more front bias so rears are less important. As for how the kits compare - They are no $7,000 Alcon/AP kit (which they are based off)... But for $1800 - a saving of $5200 - you can't expect it to be identical, but i can tell you it's near enough having driven a mates GTR recently who has a 356mm Alcon kit. I couldn't say there was a difference. Pad/rotor material plays more of a part in that anyway. There were plenty of cars @ WTAC for example with D2 or K-sport brake kits on them, all working fine Don't want to interfere here, but Alcons don't have to be expensive http://www.jdl-brakes.com/special-offer-alcon-adv-extreme-brake-kit-front-and-rear-nissan-skyline-r32-r33-r34-gtr.html Maybe they are not such cheap as D2, but I'm pretty sure quite similar.

NISR32.5 Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Nice find there, I think that's pretty fair for front and rear kit including fluid and lines aswell!
