Dan is a great guy! Very easy to deal with! I hope you don't get smashed at customs like myself

[dkbcleaner]

Yeah same i hope not man. Ive been dealing with Mark who is also a top bloke

Here is some basic yet very effective brake ducts some guys might be interested in trying to do.

These are on an FT86

Neat as Brad. I'm sure you could do something very similar for us GTR folk?

[Risking]

I have done them similar for the GTR in the past but haven't taken any decent photos

Problem with the skyline is that there is so many different rotor diameters people use and making them a one size fits all is impossible to do so they are neat and effective.

I've got a set to do next week on a GTR with ex touring car brakes and 378 mm rotors.

Would they fit the Alcon Advantage Kit as well? Would you concider making more?

[dkbcleaner]

+1 to no as well

How benificial would they be on your typical track day 1 warm up 3 hot laps 1 cool down day?

[Risking]

I can do them to suit the Alcon kit yes.

Every brake kit is different due to rotor size and calliper offset.

They won't be beneficial at all for a super sprint type day. Your brakes would be struggling to get to optimum temperature before adding effective ducting.

The FT86 did a 1hr enduro at Bathurst yesterday and the brakes lasted perfectly.

Ok thanks for that

Yup, it is the full kit for front and rear with Calipers, Hats, Rotors, brake lines, fluid and pads.

Are the brake pads that come in the kit any good for track?

Not the best mate. Got a bit spongy after a few hot laps.

Oh ok..What you recommend putting in for street and track use? Something like a a1rm/hc+ pad. Or do you have to stick to a alcon specific pad? Man i got stung with the import tax as well.. $773 they should be on the doorstep tomorrow

Spewin Its hard to hide with 4 boxes THAT big though! haha.

Jack in VIC ran this kit and was running PAGID pads. Can't remember off the top of my head but black and yellows ring a bell. I've had awsome results with Endless CC-RG and MX-72's on both my car and mates cars.Work out of the drive yet almost throw you through the window! I think the stock pad are Ferodo 2500's. OK on the street but for a big heavy car with grunt like a built GTR.... doesn't really work.

[dkbcleaner]

Awesome! Thanks mate Ill look into those. Yeah those blokes from customs will be looking at 4 boxes thinking hmm doubt thats worth less than $1000 lol

[DaanGTR]

Pagids RS29 are great for track use with Alcons.

Anyone had any experience with ATTKD brakes? Had a look at them yesterday at Just Jap and according to them they are the same as D2's, however the 330mm kit has 6 pistons instead of 8:

[Risking]

I always though ATTKD brand was just Steve thatchers own branding that was sold at just jap?

I'd believe they are just the 6piston D2's coated black with ATTKD on them.
