Your white TE's looked sicker!

 

Very nice.

 

White te's were not optimal for handling.
I am slowly putting together a balanced trackable
Setup. These 18x10.5 +15 ssr type-f's are
More appropo. They also fit without spacers.

 

very nice to see you fit those under 18" wheels!

 

Looks good!

 

Most Hyped Up Thread Ever.

Looks good in the end though, need better pics.

 

IDK how this set up costed you, but wouldn't it be better to buy aftermarket Stoptech or Mu project brake kit for better costing, and stopping power?

 

What type of shots are you looking for? I will try to accomodate.
Still working out a number of details... My total cost was about $2000
less than an endless "racing/mono" 6/4 which was my goal cost-wise.

 

Did the diameter of the parking brake hub match up exactly when using the R35 rear rotors?

 

Excellent thread, and much respect to you for following through and going with something hugely original. Looks incredible.

and no, for the record the parking brake was gutted and removed for this install.

 

So how would you describe the braking? The few times I drove a GTR braking hard was physically painful. Blood rushing to the face, stomach held in only by the lap belt, etc. It was almost comical how bad it felt to brake hard with sticky tires coming down from ~150MPH or so. I can't imagine how these do on an even smaller and lighter car.

 

suffice it to say it's the tightest braking i've experienced that's not ferrari/porsche
carbon ceramic. i need a videographer that's local to help me put together a short
comp for everyone.

i'm also sure i can improve the stock feel with pads/rotors.

it does feel "natural". people have asked me if nissan offered that as an option...

Not sure how I missed this for a few days as I've been watching this thread like a hawk. I think some people don't like wheels as much just because it's not as unique as the white TE's, butc I love those type F's and the fitment is perfet IMO.

I'm not 100% sold on the Redline red paint/Nissan goldish-orange calipers, but I'm sure the performance it well worth it and you can always change the color down the road when the factory finish gets more and more messed up.

Congrats man, well done!

 

I am thinking a vinyl wrap. My last bumper fix was red-amaged in under a week.
Prob going to go back to a stock redline bumper w a lip.

fixing fiberglass = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

 

That's too bad about the parking brake. What are you using for a parking brake then? I'm not sure if your car is a auto or manual.

Any pics of the rear bracket?

 

There is no more parking brake, and he is auto so it wasn't a big concern for him.

 

Thanks to Matt from Farm of Minds! Amazing blog if you've not seen it.

Just took a ride in this car. The brakes are really powerful. Under hard braking, The car handled like OEM. The weakest link were that the tires just couldn't keep up. Well done. Not to mention, they look fantastic too.
