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.

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

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
