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.

    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
