Honestly the street D2 pads are fine for street duties 100% :)

Added :)

(will confirm rear pricing when i can)

Street pad was fine in my R33 GTR for hill runs and similar @ 360rwkw and lots of traction. Long as you don't ask 10/10ths for 10mins+ straight /w heavy braking, you'll be very happy :)

Put me on the list for sure for the 356mm front kit for my 32 gtr with the black anodized caliper and sport pad with the rear kit also. Plus I read you need a kit for the hand brake for the rear calipers I'll get that too!

Kit for the hand brake... I shall investigate this also :D

I wasn't aware it was needed - will follow up, likely in 8-10 days or so once we all get back from SAU Nats :)

I'm pretty interested aswell, can you get me a price on the 356mm rear for 32 gtr aswell when you have time. Cheers.

About the handbrake issue, the way I read it was that you will only need a hydrolic handbrake if you want to use this setup for drifting. Otherwise the calipers work like normal. Maybe I'll read that again....

I read the same thing. Standard handbrake setup works fine with the D2 rear kit, as long as you're not using it for drifting. If you are, you need a hyraulic setup and second caliper.

I don't have a handbrake, I have a foot brake. So no funny business in the whale.

Ok then fair enough I'm sure I read the rear kit is 304mm and requires the kit to make it work properly and it's about $200 but if I don't need it then even better.

Done!

Im off to SAU Nats, back in a week and will then work on pricing for rears with Import Monster & Andrew from D2

Cheers fellas!

in the mean time i can help with enquires about the product, i cannot confirm any prices because this is to do with Import Monster.

As i said earlier - same pad size as the AP Racing caliper in the 356mm size, I think the code is AP5555 from memory.

I ran the 356mm kit on the front only - without rears. It didn't affect the ABS at all as Skylines are far more front bias so rears are less important.

As for how the kits compare - They are no $7,000 Alcon/AP kit (which they are based off)... But for $1800 - a saving of $5200 - you can't expect it to be identical, but i can tell you it's near enough having driven a mates GTR recently who has a 356mm Alcon kit. I couldn't say there was a difference.

Pad/rotor material plays more of a part in that anyway.

There were plenty of cars @ WTAC for example with D2 or K-sport brake kits on them, all working fine :)

Don't want to interfere here, but Alcons don't have to be expensive http://www.jdl-brakes.com/special-offer-alcon-adv-extreme-brake-kit-front-and-rear-nissan-skyline-r32-r33-r34-gtr.html

Maybe they are not such cheap as D2, but I'm pretty sure quite similar.

    • 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.
