I bought and used Alpha Omega for track days.  I'm really happy with them - stock master cylinder too.

 

They pull up so well I have to use travel sick tablets now while on the track !!

The design is so strong, no way they break.  I did all the research into BBK etc other brands but have heard of evo track guys going back to their stock brakes after BBK upgrades

Is this for your S13? I would just personally go R33/34 GT-R Brembos all round and call it a day.. just good pads, good ducting and of course good rotors!

 

I'm running r33 brembo setup on the sil80 with project mu pads & rotors and works well, is consistent after big stops coming into turn 3 at Queensland raceway and they have performed well at smaller tracks and gil climbs. A mate has the AO evo setup and can only run 18inch wheels where I'm using r33 gtr wheels still. 

If you upgrade to a bm57 master cylinder get an abs version and drill and tap the 3rd port out much cheaper than buying a non abs version.

Yep for the Sil, I already have a BM50 and just a line split and it's never leaked or caused issues. Jury is out on whether 57 is even required. I don't need my brakes to be ultra sensitive as I heel toe and like a progressive pedal. 

If I recall correctly, rear Brembo's don't bolt on directly? But I have read so much shit and can't remember now. 

I was looking at Evo up front as I could grab some calipers, adapters, pads and rotors for $600 - just the 320mm rotors. They seem to be consistently cheaper than GT-R Brembos and look to be a better caliper with a bigger pad area.

I'm too caught up in the engine build at the moment anyway. 

Do GT-R rears go straight on? Would be nice to have a direct bolt on option, no adapters etc.

If you don't need the handbrake assemble then the rear calipers bolt up easy.

Front Brembo wise, you can find 350Z ones cheaper than GT-R ones but you will need to run 350Z rotors as the offset is different. Calipers are identical (besides the offset), pads are too (DB1520 or IN1520 in Intima). Just need to drill the hubs out to 14mm and use R34 GT-t caliper bolts as the 350Z ones are too long.

the r32/33 brembo bolt straight up , just need shorter bolts for the fronts.  i've read a certain rear subaru brembo caliper bolts up on the rear. Another option is 324mm rotor with your current calipers using a good quality rotor & pad combo. It may be easier for you to buy a bbk and test different pads.

Need to use a washer to space it out a little.

Better off with just GTS-t twin pot rears, less dicking around and cheaper.

      Compatible rear drive shafts R34 N/A?

      By RB25inside · Posted

      Are these the Dmax ones you are in reference too? https://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35#description Not a bad idea to get the uni flange ones. I have sent just jap an email too. Will see what they say lmao. Only thing is the Dmax ones are on a big back order. Low key anything will be better then my OEM ones I got as they are sounding like popcorn when I go under load lmao 😂☠️🪦.

      Compatible rear drive shafts R34 N/A?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      They should do. I have S14 (or something S chassis, anyway) driveshafts in my R32 (because my diff flanges have 3x2). They're the right length. When you go looking for R32/3/4 driveshafts (for turbos), they're all the same thing, so are the same length. So there really shouldn't be any reason why those cheapies from JJ won't also fit an R34. R32/3 NA should also be the same thing. The (3x the price) D-Max ones are uni-fit. They have 5x1 and 3x2 bolt holes and say they cover all the cars. So that would also suggest that they are all the same except for the flanges. And in that case, the flange goes both ways. I'd be buying the D-Max ones if I ever have to replace a shaft. Because that will open up diff options without needing to juggle shafts also. Juggling shafts is gay.

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By ChoppedSpots · Posted

      Yeah with the adaptors they do look like the photo above - just the fitment within the plenum itself and then further with the rail to the intake is questionable - we shall see tomorrow hopefully once I get some replies from Aeroflow, maybe those bosses are the missing piece....

      Should be fine, if you have it sitting too far in, you end up just spraying the walls and have shit idle. You "can" run them like that, however I don't think it's a great idea (also depends on your plenum, might be good to just get the injector bosses first, mock it up and see if you need to get the bottom extension) Ideally your injectors, with the extension should look like this  (Not my photos, just Google)

      Thanks for the replies guys, it's really appreciated.  It seems the kit was supposed to come with those injector bosses but hasn't. Unsure if they'll help as even with the adaptors to make them a 3/4 height injector they still sit too far out so mount the fuel rail?
