hi guys i need to upgrade my brakes on my rb26 cefiro as it will be running around the street and track at around 470rwhp. and now have the problems of brake choice. i spoke to a guy at just jap and he has a set of the new G4 8 PISTON FRONT BRAKES WITH 356MM ROTORS and he said that there awsome and are miles better than the brembo he used to run but im also look at a set of TRUST GREX brakes which are smaller from nengun in japan.? at the end of the day its a street car that will see 50/50 time spent between causal track work and the street. any input from people with brake upgrades would be good thanks

ok thanks guys im going to go with the 8pot g4 set-up from darren at just-jap they have down some track work and have proven results so for the price nothing come close

i have 343mm f40 brembos glowing bright orange on the old pac. so you will neeed some seriose brakes if you plan on doing some trackwork.

not dissing the d4 thingies but..... im not to sure on the materials they use and more importantly the rotors. if anyone has sucesfully got them red hot literaly and not had any warpage/crack issues then go for it :laugh:

Just got mine as well and i must say they are quite well made i was surprised.

Installation instructions are just a little strange but easy enough to work through. Had my old ones off and new items on in about 2 hours. About the only real issue was the best way to secure the brake line so i got some P clips and used those check that the line was not rubbing anywhere and went out and ran them in.

First off i was not too impressed, didn't feel much better than the standard items. So let them cool dowm completely as instructed and when for another run 3 hours later and talk about diferent, big improvement after they had cooled completely and used again, not sure why though. Can feel the pressure of the shoulder straps pushing back at me when giving the brakes a good push now.

I wouldn't trust it to pull enough heat out if only using the stock size rotors. I have my fronts smoking after 5 laps of Sandown with 280mm rotors and R32 calipers in a 1200kg car.

I am using slotted 280mm rotors and R32 gtr calipers with custom pads and after 3 laps at sandown I had severe brake shudder through the steering wheel and brake fade! Sounds like yours are doing better than mine!

Not knocking the product at all, I have no experience with them, and not disputing that Just Jap know their shlt, but keep in mind that he sells them, so he's not going to say they're crap. Having said that someone on here runs them and likes them.

Nismo: Really?? Jeez, guess my project MU pads and rotors are doing the trick then!

      GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.

      R32 gtr hood latch support/lock part number search

      By eli995 · Posted

      Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan)

      If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
