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.

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.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
