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.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
