If anybody has a set of any of these can you please help me out with the following:

Brand: G4

Piston QTY: 8

Rotor Size: 330x32 mm

Piston Diameters: putting track pads this weekend for Wakie on the 17th, will measure and post back then.

just a quick question in relation to these big brake kits and rather then make a new topic, are D2/K-Sport all same quality? or is one better then the other.

i remember reading a thread about a member having issues with his K-Sport brake kit.

so kinda dont wanna experience this dilemma.

Yep they are all the same in terms of quality. They come out of the same factory.

The "review" of the k-sport ones does have a bit wrong with it, ill cover that later. with a write up I'm working on. Just haven't had spare time the past month to sit down and do it.

Hey Ash are you still doing a group buy on these brakes? I'm waiting for it : D

Sure am, almost sorted it out and the pricing, looking VERY affordable with ADR approved lines too :)

Had a set on my car now to test for 4-5 months and am happy with the performance even using the "china" pad that comes with them.

Thanks R31Nismoid!

keen on updates of your group buy.

i did read somewhere before that you were trying a set out and was wondering what happened to it.

I've got heaps of pad left and little motivation to pull the things off.

But the pistons on the leading edge (2) are larger than those on the trailing edge.

The pad for the 330mm and 356mm is the same pad.

If thats true Luke you are in for a world of hurt. Are they off a Range Rover, Hummer etc ? They often come with nice and tasty big brakes but cant really be retrofitted to cars

I'll look again in the next few days but there the same 8pots as the Lambo Gallardo, R8 etc.

They are the same or look the same? For instance people generically call F50 calipers the ones with the 44/40mm pistons. But F50s have a range of part numbers and externally look identical to one another...but have many difference piston combinations. I have see F50s with 46/44mm pistons...and I think the 4 pot Brembo off FPV Fords are similar...at around 48/44mm so if you put them on a Nissan they would be horrible.

So your family of 8 pots may be the same as the Lambo etc but they could be a different part number, and given what you are saying about the piston sizes it could be a horrible mismatch.

Somebody, not sure if it was you posted a while ago they had 6 pot or 8 pots off a Range Rover or something which makes me think they are a risk to buy unless you know the piston sizes or are going for a full custom brake install with big gears, boosters and changed pedal ratios

    • HyperGear. Just get a high flow of the stocker. Good, reliable, and should bolt on. Yes it will want things like a retune once done, so you need to factor this in to your spend too.
    • Hi. Iam looking for some "cheaper" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO. I do not want "big" power just better reliability than the stock turbo which is "fot now" good but is old and i do not think it has "easy" life. One the Skyline here running some "temu" china Turbo but i dont trust those... Thanks!

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
