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

    • Hi, need help on wiring i swap motor from rb25de neo to S1 rb25det. Is it possible i can still use the de neo loom or do i need the s1 loom? Can i add extra wiring to add wastegate soleniod and iat sensor? Can i use injector and coils on same loom as i running bosch injectors and vag coils? I bought nz wiring trigger kit for neo, can i use that on s1 motor? What else do i need to do to work everything right?
    • Tried some stainless allen head bolts I had laying around, they stuck out like dog balls, so I went to Bunnings and got some black coated jobbies, which I like alot more.....basically OEM....LOL I'll RTV it up this week sometime ready for MX5 Mania to do their thing
    • Good tips, will get on those tomorrow. When doing the maintenance I did move a few of those connectors around, and things that are old tend to not like moving around. (Like me).
    • Don't try it. It will be shit. Better chance of damaging the engine than gaining any knowledge about the old one. Maybe, but unlikely, especially if the O2 sensor is working. You can use NissDataScan to look at the stock ECU.   Cleaning the AFM is seldom necessary and seldom helps. The R35 coil & loom conversion should eliminate dud coils or plugs. But as you still have misses - look to the plug where the coil loom connects to the engine loom, and the CAS plug. Need quality connections there. Also look to injector plugs. And the AFM plug while you're at it. Also look to whether your injectors are clean and flowing evenly. Get them out and onto a testbench.
