FYI, I believe the dealer selling for $1400 on Ebay is running out their stock, thus the price.

$1400 is WAY under the cost of these kits.

anyone had any experience with these? the kit is only $2300 how do they rate? street ? track? drag? pull you up nice or what?

just to give you an idea

Brembo F50 kit with 340 disc

ridehight-img585x439-1164521193nissan_f50.jpg

Price is $3200 plus shipping so likely to be $3600 all up. (kit is brand new)

i guess at the end of the day you have to ask is the brembo kit worth the extra 1.3k?

but you get the open box sticker too. which is a definate plus.

Well any company that names their product for an obscure dimensionless number has my vote. Stickers would just be a bonus. :D

More importantly, how can I get my hands on this stuff? Appears to be cheaper/friendlier than the straight up Brembo kits...

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)

yeah no i dont think so. he was pulling your leeg. just like how i got my leg pulled when i bought some k-sport coilovers cos he said the shock was made in japan. pftt. pieces of shit. i went through 3 rear shocks in 6 months

i work for a and b motorsports and all brakes are tested and approved over seas and here before going on the market. there is a write up in this months street commodores compairing all the brakes on the market if you want more info on compairing them

can get the kits from yahoo auction, i may be able to help you bring one in but not for a few weeks

I work for the UK distributer for KSport. We have ben running them on various test vehicles including out 500rwhp R33 GTST EDC (European Drift Championship) and Time Attack competition car. We run 356mm 8 pot front and 356mm 6 pot rear kits with Ferodo DS3000 front and KSport race rear pads without a hint of fade. Just solid, progressive, awesome stopping power.

We have done 40+ track days to test and help develop the kits, a couple of initial niggles have been highlighted and eradicated to leave us with fantastic value for money and highly effective brake kits.

i bought ronins biot gear for him in japan. not sure if anyone sells it here but if you're stuck I'll get it for you. they do custom colours too and the finish is awesome.

Thanks for the offer, Baron. I have some thinking to do...

The first question question is F40's on a 332 rotor, or the F50 on a 355 rotor?

Then which handbag should I get the hats to match?

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
