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

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
