What do you work as mate?

Thats an awesome looking supercar, rear spoiler looks a bit wank, but at least its there for a purpose.. not a fast and furio add-on you see on the back of some chavmobile tearing up the local council estate.


Cheers,
Grant

You managed to get it further than Anthony Hamilton did then!!!!!! ROFOL

Not a bad little toy that - but I bet you wouldnt get discs and pads for that for 10k - I reckon you can double that and add some. I have a friend with a GT3 with Ceramics, and his were dearer than that!

Mind you - could be worse - for discs and pads all round on the new Datsun GTR Vspec, you will be parting for Ł32k!!!!!!!

Datsuns justfication was that they were some of the biggest ceramics in the business! small comfort if you had to replace them!!! LOL

The cost of them I found in an EVO mag a couple of months ago when they reviewed it.

Jtech - I have absolutely no doubt that he was telling the truth. Porsche claimed that they were expensive but lasted ages - the trouble is that they chip rather easily, which requires a new disc - ouch!!!

Mind you - zero brake dust I am told - which would be nice!

So how much longer(miles wise) with similar use would the ceramic brakes be supposed to last than the steel alternative?

On the "Datsun" that is I'd say the carrera GT is ceramic only
