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!

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.

      Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃

      You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.
