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

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
