IMO R33 GTR brembos are overpriced.

Sometimes yahoo has bargains on BBK.

Very true. I got mine for under 1000 front and rear. Above that and they are not worth it and the China kits would be better.

Recently (yesterday) heard a few examples of the calipers being incorrectly machined and not fitting. It is a long way to send heavy ass brakes back because they don't fit!

Lots and lots of people have had a lot of success with these kits though!

I really wanted to get a Megan racing kit out of the US, but the American guys wouldn't sell to me because they had an Australian distributor and the Australian distributor would sell me any because he wanted to sell me Alcons instead.

These would have bolted up to my car, but noooo he claimed he had to machine up this that and the other thing to make it fit, lies

My mate picked up a Brembo kit for his alpha which is a 4 piston 326mm rota front and 2 piston rear, which was sent from Italy. He paid like $650 including delivery. its amazing how stupidly expensive brembo brakes for Skylines are, considering a good set of rotors and pads on the standard brakes are nearly as good.

makes me wanna play with cars again.........wait.........what's this skyline doin in my garage then :P

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
