So yes I have 8 pot 330mm D2s on the front (same as K sports maybe?) and R32 GTR brakes on the rear but I think the D2s were an extravagance (need replacement rotors at over $1000 now) and would recommend the GKTech (its an Aussie company) big brake kit if it fits the Stagea (I think it should):

s1 = anything to suit r32/r33

s2 = anything to suit r34

Have you put r34 brakes on an s2? I am asking as I have an s2 rs (rwd) that I have put r34 gtt brakes on. The bolts were m12, r34 brakes are m14. I machined new m12 inserts for the r34 calipers. perhaps rs vs rs4 is different?

yup, mine is a s2 running r34 front brakes

must be the rwd part, front struts are similar to s15 from memory so apparently rwd is the exception to the rule there

should also add r32,33 and 34 rear brakes are the same

I've got a 32 D2 kit on my S1.....never had an issue with em.

Bob that replacement sounds expensive, have you tried a couple of places? In any case, at least you only have to replace the rings and not whole discs including centres

The brakes themselves are great...but I got carried away at Hampton Downs a couple of weeks ago and got some serious metal to metal in the brakes. In fact they have been machined and look ok but the NZ agents for D2s cannot supply replacement rotors - only pads. I have asked around and the only source I have found are Race Brakes and they will be AP rotors (of which D2s are copies).

I haven't tried the Aussie rotor manufacturers yet but will do.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
