Are they the same as the Just Jap G4 kits? If so there are plenty of good reviews on here

ive read those and it seems alright, but im not quite sure if they are the same, orange looks hot for some reason ahahaha

I was told by a d2 distributer, that the d2 brakes are the same as AP racing brakes, as they use all the same components on the inside don't know weather this is true or not. but if it is i wouldnt be surprises if brakes like g4 and ksports are the same (using ap componenets)

Correct D2, G4 and Ksport are all the same kit. Hell you could even have a skyline down under brake kit if you could get enough people interested to order a hundred or so :-). then name them what ever you feel like.

As Duncan mentioned the pads are from a AP 6 piston set up but be aware that these pads do come in different radial depths and the AP pad have been rumored to crack the rotors as the pad sits about 2mm from the outer edge. Not sure if thats the case but it has been mentioned in this forum. Other than the pads i dont think there are many componants that are AP in this package. i have found the track pads for these to be great very simular to DS 3000 in performance.

posted a link to a small clip a week or so ago showing my set glowing while doing a track evening under lights. Do search on G4

not made in China ...........well sorta.

I have spoken to the company and they are in Taiwan. Not sure about the suspension bits but the brakes i have are working well even thinking about buying the rear set as well.

And i know for a fact that the AP rotors do come in the same size and thinkness as the G4 / K sport, but the PCD for the aluminium bells or hats are not the same. The G4/ k sport bells do not bolt up to the AP 356mm 12 hole rotor, or the other way round. I tried and failed to find a AP rotor to suit. You could use an AP rotor and bell though as long as the bells have the same offset.

anyway I just read their site they say they are approved by somebody else which they reckon is 'the same quality as TUV'.

They say:

"ARTC (Automotive Research & Testing Center) has same quality as AMECA SFI of USA TUV Rheinland TUV Nord TUV Pfaiz of GERMANY VCA of UK IDIADA of SPAIN E-MARK of EUROPE .

Above machineries are specialized in testing the most of Autoparts , and ARTC is also authorized by the above machineries. Thus, any Taiwanese Manufactory can send the products to ARTC to be tested."

hmm taiwanese "manufactory". i see their brakes are approved now they just need to work on approval for the new words they are adding to the english language!

still I'm not sure how TUV or 'same quality as TUV' applies in aus given how crazy our laws are with regards to ADR certification etc.

It probably doesn't - I guess it's just good to know that there is some sort of testing - unlike kit like Monsta, SSAutochrome, etc (Mainland China)

AFAIK Taiwan is much superior in manufacturing than mainland China.

    • Incidentally, I also put v3 of the tune on the car and did an oil change from 5w20 to 5w40 to see how it affected oil pressure in the mid to high end. I'm still happier with the thicker oil and will stick with it, but clearly the system is happy with 55psi even if I'm not!
    • So the other thing I got sorted over the weekend was Z1 oil catch can install. https://www.z1motorsports.com/z1-products/z1-motorsports/z1-q50-q60-30t-baffled-oil-catch-can-kit-p-23546.html It was a good kit, most importantly it came with preformed silicone hoses in the right shapes rather than trying to bend/join regular straight rubber hose. It did come with crappy spring clamps not proper hose clamps so I ditched them On the down side, it is made for LHD cars and RHD cars have the main ECU harness running straight through that location, I ended up bending 2 mounting brackets so the loom is up against the brake master cylinder compartment wall to make room for it....otherwise everything fit without modification Intercoolers off on both sides, but there was enough room to get everything done without disconnecting (and therefore having to re-bleed) the coolant lines. Each is mounted with 4x 12mm headed bolts, plus in and out side hose clamps (7mm headed, nice) and 3 electrical connectors on the navigator's side which were a real pain to undo (probably for the first time in 13 years).   Also one of the mounting bolts on the driver's side was cross threaded, thanks Infiniti/Nissan workshop mechanics. On the navigator's side, the catch can plumbs into the factory hose that goes from the cam cover PCV back to the intake.  This is the 2 new hoses in place. All simples and direct fit On driver's side, there is a bracket provided that mounts to the throttle body, they even provide slightly longer bolts to allow for the bracket thickness which is nice (although, they don't have captive washers like the factory bolts of course) In that pic the main loom brackets are not in place, once I had "adjusted" them across it now sits up against the panel and just clears the OCC The remaining problem with this is emptying it; currently you have to remove the 3x m4 bolts that hold it to the bracket and both banjos to remove it (probably dropping the banjo washers at the same time) pull it apart to empty then replace. I do have some fittings coming for a remote drain from underneath that will also add a little capacity...it is very small and will need to be emptied every oil change to be sure.
    • Noise sounds to me could be either wheel bearing related (have had similar from bearings going) or that tail shaft is still loose. Or something like a heat shield touching the tail shaft.
    • You wouldn't get away with saying the opposite, if you were there.
    • Do some wool fluff testing on the vents
