The price on these things has come down by about $1,000 since they were released about a year ago. I have read the reports from purchasers who say that you get what you pay for.

BUT that was at $2300 for the callipers.

They are now $1300 including hatted rotors, pads, adapter plates and new hoses.

Why are they $1,000 cheaper in NZ than in Australia.

No one that has bought them has a bad thing to say and Just Jap are selling them for $2300 a set compared to $1,280 a set.

Im not saying skimp but lets be honest, 20 year old skyline GTR brake's Vs a brand new set with no bad reviews (yet).

Ive had two week old brembos fail on me at Phillip Island (thanks to very poor pad fitting by a major NSW seller of race brakes)

Edited by Dominic

Dom I ran these brakes at Targa they were fine - performed well no problems, no fade with good pads (I did have problems racing on the road pads). Got mine from Just Jap and just squeezed them under standard 17" rims. Also kit comes with everythin includin braided lines, shims to line up properly etc

BTW they are taiwanese with decent japanese seals, so not really chinese either (although chinese govt may disagree lol)

only thing to watch out...the original ones Just Jap had for GTRs had incorrect offset which caused ball joint to rub on rotor in hard cornering.....if you buy off ebay make sure it is the corrected kit as well.....offset is about 1cm further out

Hey Duncan, long time no see. Im back with a GTR and building it to Classic Adelaide Spec. This time an R32. Still keeping my EVO though.

In the end I actually found a better made kit for about $600 more

http://cityracer.trustpass.alibaba.com/pro...stem_Kits_.html

Forged aluminium and 850 degree pads, 2 piece rotors with hoses meeting international standards. Seems better value for $2200. 6 piston calipers with 330 by 32mm rotors

oh actually, i just read the article, they are actually D2, as long as they are geniune D2 i'd buy them :) and they are in NZ, might have to give the guy an email

lol, what is "genuine" D2? They are just like any other chinese made caliper/suspension/whatever except it has D2 written on them...

I think he means a real D2/Ksport/G2 as against a set of 8 pot ex champ car brembos with the letters D2 written on them;^)

They dont look too bad. But a few comments, if thats the hats they come with i would be a little concerned about there being so many holes around the bolts centres. I have seen normal; rotor crack between bolt holes, in fact only two weekend we almost wrote off a car in the bush on a rally stage because a rotor let go. And that was a 310mm aftermarket Volvo 1pce rotor...so pretty damn durable. And yet it still failed.

So having so many holes in the hat..well i hope its damn thick...and i cant think if a reason to have more then you need? Surely not weight.

Also the calipers look ok but they dont appear to have too many bolts between the forged havles. So thats just a casual obersvation based on the single pic...so couldbe miles out. But on the surface of it i think the cheaper D2 caliper "look" the better caliper and rotor

japaneese seals? lol.

just like my old k sport coil overs with "japanese made" damper in it. hahah only had to replace 3 rears in 6 months.

they seem to be ok performing. just like a wheel really. whether it be a cast piece of crap or a nice jap forging. they both do the same thing...

yeah there was definately one guy who had a manufacturing problem.....but I guarantee you the set I have had a genuine racing workout and were perfect.

Dom....whats the rules for classic adelaide - do they use CAMS tarmac rally regs like targa? ANd what is the cutoff year, mine is log booked as 94 r32, but I would love to try adelaide as well.

Cut off year is 1990 "but run on models are ok" look up their website. Pretty much the same rules as targa as most cars do both.

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
