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 wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
