How much life left?

Dog bones and hats custom made or prefab?

Come with lines?

These are the sorts of things people will want to know when buying this sort of thing for this sort of price.

Condition? Excellent as above says 2000kms 2 track days Id still like to see some pics of the actual setup without a rim so I can see what they look like.

Type of discs? Alcon as above says How thick are they? What groove pattern? How many vanes? What is the max thickness rotor the caliper can take?

Seals ok? there on my car which i drive OK

Type of pads? fs2500 OK

How much life left? 72.342524362543% No need to be smart. How thick are they? What is the max thickness the caliper can take?

Dog bones and hats custom made or prefab? i custom Out of what material?

Come with lines? No OK

What brand?Alcon as above I was asking about the lines if it came with them.

All of these questions are need to know things for this calibre of hardware.

I have a spare rear pair of calipers and am genuinely considering building another setup.

If you could get a decent pic and some of the details I was asking about man, I would really appreciate it

Its all good. But yeah, I probably am a little fussy when it comes to this sort of thing ;)

Id love to actually come check them out in person, however with work and other commitments, I am a little hard pressed for spare time.

Like I said, i have a spare pair of rears from parts I have obtained, and was thinking I may be able to build another complete setup, with the intention of possibly selling to a fellow SAUer (as a complete kit is easier to offload than just calipers lol)

Ive just seen people in the past say "V8 supercar calipers", when in actual fact they are just a street version or something completely different.

I really appreciate the pics you have taken man.

However, these are not the calipers I was expecting.

The V8 supercar caliper I know have a removable bridge piece and a quick release pad retainer.

They may be V8 supercar calipers, but if they are, they would be from a very old year make, or possibly from the NZ V8 supercars.

Sorry man, but ill have to pass on these. Thanks anyway.

Is that pic from when they were installed on car? The bleed nipples are on the wrong end of caliper. Looks like they need to be swapped over to be suitable to run on a Nissan

Can you confirm rotor part no.? At 31.9mm they are near brand new 32mm rotor or undersized 35-36mm rotor. Can you confirm caliper part no as well? They arent V8 Supercar calipers but perhaps the rotors are.

Looks like its a kit that has been pieced together using the Mono6 Alcon street caliper. But there are two versions of the Mono6. One is for a 32mm rotor the other for 35.5mm that also takes diameters up to 410mm

    • From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"
    • Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys. 
    • So, to run the 4g aerials to the booster, I had to get access to the rear bulkhead....bit of a mission. Hot tip, don't offer to help change the rear shocks for a mate with a v37.... Remove seat base, 2 clips that slide forward to release it the it lifts straight out Fold down rear seat (pull in from boot) The side bolster of the rear seat is not connected to the middle parts that fold. To remove unbolt at the bottom bolt then push it up off the top hook Then there is a plastic surround behind the seat back, 2 pop out clips, 2 bastard clips, some swearing at it is out Pop the rear seat latch surround off Remove door surround lower trim then side trim  Remove c pillar trim - 4 clips, pull inwards not forwards Remove metal brace - 5 bolts 1 nut Then you have got to the rear strut top...what a pain!
    • If you really want squish back, you can have it put on the piston (at least to some extent).
    • Impressive. He's very very smooth.
