How many people would be interested in AP racing brake kits for their Stageas?

They do Skyline kits that use:

Front

AP racing 4 pot callipers

DBA 5000 series rotors

Mounting Brackets

Braded hoses

RRP $2,900

Rear

AP racing 4 pot callipers

DBA 4000 series rotors

Mounting brackets

Braded hoses

$2,600

I would get a set to fit on my car first to make sure it all fits on and works correctly.

I have not spoken the importer about it yet but should be able to organise a reasonable saving.

I would like to get an idea on how many would seriously be interested before

talking to them.

God dam, stupid car, eats the money :)

Count me in, what caliper is it? CP5200?

Also, I think you left out the fact that it comes with Ferodo DS2500...right?

Get back to me about the best prices you can get, then ill see how I can shift funding.

Would be great if you test them out first, as I have to buy new wheels if i want new brakes.... +1500$ for me... so lets try to get those prices down heaps :)

no thanks. I know how good Ap gear is,but for that price,it's just not feasible for me. I'd fit GTR brembos (especially as I already have a pair of R34 rear lined up) with two piece project mu discs up front,ferodo pads all 'round and would still have enough cash left over for a cheap set of wheels and half decent tyres to go over the top of them.

thanks for the offer though.

Justin...

AP 4's are an improvement over Brembo 4's but nothing drastic, hence they go for the 6 pots....which the kits are ~5k

Though, AP 4's will be a BIG improvement over the crappy 2 piston floaters.

The difference between the AP kit and brembos is that brembos are used..unknown conditoons, expensive to rebuild etc.

AP's are BRAND NEW, warranty etc etc

Make your own choice really.

Full Brembo set of calipers ~1500

Discs to suit ~1000

Pads ~500

braided lines ~400

So thats $3400 there

AP's

Kit ~2900

GTST rears/Discs/pads ~200/400/200

Same price really....

bugger bugger bugger, i would have been in for sure, except i got r34 brembo calipers brand new and dba 5000 rotors, which aint cheap :) got some r32 gtr 4 spot rear calipers and dba 4000 rotors for rears also, so im all set, but....

the AP racing ones are a bargain, and definately better value than brembos :)

cheers

Brad

And sti brembo's fit  skylines???

if so very interesting ... might have stopping power sooner than l thought.

sorry STAGEN, I don't know. You can probably dummy fit them and see if it works, or take the measurements of mounts and see if they match a skyline offset. If you try it, and it works out, let us know :(

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
