They are not Carbon Ceramic rotors, STD cross drilled Iron rotors, no other OEM options. OEM are expensive and they burn up pretty quick. J hooks and other HD iron rotors are prefered when doing the OEM replacement, or do the Carbon Ceramic conversion using the Zr1 OEM brembo rotor. At minimum that conversions $8,500+.
You buy a GTR; all of a sudden you find a way to afford/justify parts because power is so easily made and it becomes so slow after a couple months of ownership and the cycle repeats after every mod(s). With a GTR, if you have to ask about affording it, then dont bother owning one. It's the least expensive car to own with the blend of everything that it does/has. I just dropped $3600 on a billet front diff case. Breaking two OE cast ones, I felt it was time.

I work at T1 Race Development so I see the vicious cycle that our customers go through thinking they'll be happy and then coming back for a bigger build!

Mitch is one of my good buddies and one of the main reasons I always wanted an ISF. His GTR absolutely killed it this past weekend!

I would rather set a goal for the car and focus the build around that, but everyone is different.

You work at T1? Wow, I'm jealous.... you guys build some of the sickest GTR's in the country! Im looking to pick up a GTR later this year and my hope is to find one that has already been fully built by T1. Keep up the good work!
