Your car feel like a lunatic honest to god it feels crazy compared to the standard car, I have had several gtr's in the past ranging from 350bhp to 652 at the wellies but they never gave me such a buzz try it it's awsome buddy

What sound did you go for on the Milltek. I believe there is 3.

[Takamo]

I had number 2 the same as one car that I've heard before which sounds puka

Do you think you'd still need brake ducting with the Alcons all round? (presuming you mean the superkit).

I was actually thinking of the 400mm fronts and OEM size 380mm rear Alcons with OEM calipers not the BBK.

I know the BBK has bigger calipers and would probably be a better heat sink than the OEM brembos, but in terms of steady-state temps on the track I am not sure there will be much in it. IIRC, the BBK fade free data are compared to the OEM disc/pad set-up and shows fade on the OEM after 5 or so hard stops, whereas the BBK is fade-free up to 15 or so hard stops in a row. Not seen this graph on t'interweb for a while now. Don't know how much is pad performance and how much disc. My gut feeling is the fade resistance is more down to pad than disc/calipers.

What I do know, is that my front 380mm Alcons and OEM rears are extremely hot after a 20 mins. track session, even when I take it easy and smooth. At the start of the day I tend to be very on-off and with a bit of instruction and lines-learning get into the groove of smooth and the car runs cooler. So my thinking is if good brake ducting can be added, than it should help de-stress the braking system and reduce the risk of fade or brake fluid bubbling.

Driving a 350Z, I once had the pedal drop to the floor towards the end of the session, luckily I was just finishing scrubbing a bit of speed on a fast corner at Bedford Autodrome and had no problem getting through and then just coasted back to the pits. So I've over cooked it before and got away with it; now I'm being a wuss and wanting to give myself every opportunity to not fry the brakes.

Fundamentally I want a gearbox cooler and I was gravitating towards the Forge solution (although the new AMS kit sounds very promising too from the initial trial comments on NAGTROC), but I'd also like a solution that allows front brake ducting at the same time. I probably would not duct the rears, although I've seen this done all round on Skylines and I am open to advice. Litchfield was considering a new front lip spoiler with integrated brake ducting and I was hoping that when this was available it would work with the forge intake duct installed in the front air dam but I've never obtained confirmation that the two fit together.

For me, a solution providing effective cooling to both front brakes and gearbox would be the ideal set-up. When I can find a system that allows both, that's what I'll plump for.

P.S. I see the Litchfield demo car has a lip spoiler with ducting on the March Ring test video. I've only seen the CAD pictures posted on here when it was announced, but not spotted if it's available to buy yet.
