As the topic says, anyone got such a kit on their Skyline, are the better options, better quality, cheaper etc.... It is AU$ 1600, you get rotors, calipers, brackets, pads, braided steel lines. Fits 18" wheels and upwards, have it allready so no problems there.

sure. they are pink not blue, right?

Yep, pink calipers.

Read through a post by Blipman, "G4 8 Piston brake kit", and he didn`t feel any major difference on the street, only on the track. Am only use it on the street so maybe money out the window, or... and they are chaep compared to AP, Endless etc-- but still AU$1600 is a lot of money if quality is questionable, the made in Taiwan thing makes me think twice about it, looks good though, anyway thanks.

questionable quality :P

I have been flogging these brakes to within a inch of their life for the last 12 months on full slicks and still going strong.

Raced a porsche GT2 last week and he just got me by .15 sec after a 20 minute race :P Bugga

But your correct the standard brakes are more than enough for street use. Some new DBA ( my choice ) rotors and some good pads, even a rebuild kit for the calipers and you will be sweet

I've got the Just Jap G4 ones on my car and am very happy with the much better pedal feel. The street pads weren't much chop on the track but they stopped great on the first lap. I'll be trying the race pads next time out. This obviously doesn't matter to you for street use.

I got the 330mm rotors even though I wanted the 355mm ones cos I wanted to use 17" rims. Even so, I have less than 2mm clearance although other 17" rims wont be so close I'm sure.

lol exactly what I said...although they are not safe for street use they need some heat first.

My g4s stop the car well enough to break the radius rod when I hit them apparently. Wish I had a G logger it would have been a big number for a GTR

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
