D2 8 Piston Brake Kit

[Patrolman]

As the topic says, anyone got such a kit on their Skyline, are the better options, better quality, cheaper etc.... It is AU$ 1600, you get rotors, calipers, brackets, pads, braided steel lines. Fits 18" wheels and upwards, have it allready so no problems there.

Thanks, will do.

D2 actually made quite a point of stating they're not the same as G4 last time I contacted them, but yeah, same-same.

sure. they are pink not blue, right?

Yep, pink calipers.

Read through a post by Blipman, "G4 8 Piston brake kit", and he didn`t feel any major difference on the street, only on the track. Am only use it on the street so maybe money out the window, or... and they are chaep compared to AP, Endless etc-- but still AU$1600 is a lot of money if quality is questionable, the made in Taiwan thing makes me think twice about it, looks good though, anyway thanks.

questionable quality

I have been flogging these brakes to within a inch of their life for the last 12 months on full slicks and still going strong.

Raced a porsche GT2 last week and he just got me by .15 sec after a 20 minute race Bugga

But your correct the standard brakes are more than enough for street use. Some new DBA ( my choice ) rotors and some good pads, even a rebuild kit for the calipers and you will be sweet

I've got the Just Jap G4 ones on my car and am very happy with the much better pedal feel. The street pads weren't much chop on the track but they stopped great on the first lap. I'll be trying the race pads next time out. This obviously doesn't matter to you for street use.

I got the 330mm rotors even though I wanted the 355mm ones cos I wanted to use 17" rims. Even so, I have less than 2mm clearance although other 17" rims wont be so close I'm sure.

race pads will make all the difference.

lol exactly what I said...although they are not safe for street use they need some heat first.

My g4s stop the car well enough to break the radius rod when I hit them apparently. Wish I had a G logger it would have been a big number for a GTR
