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.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
