D2 Brake kits - Skyline Owners Club

**skyline newbie** · 23rd May 2008, 07:17 PM

Hi guys and gals been looking at this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/D2-8-Piston-Br...QQcmdZViewItem
Anyone know if these are any good and if they are ok for everyday use are need stripping and cleaning regularly?

Cheers. Noob

They are in NZ so may have to factor in Tax and delivery

**chipper** · 23rd May 2008, 07:36 PM

I believe they are the same as the Ksports sold in the UK.

Hi mate.

I got my D2's from the same seller.

Awesome service and a great seller, they were delivered to my door in 3.5 days from New Zealand.

As for their performance, i find they are great for fast road. They haul my GTR up really well, alot better than the standard Brembos. Not sure how they would cope on track though. Bubble and Rockabilly have the K Sports and both have reported they are very good on track.

you can buy them in the UK - when i priced up the suspension from the NZ guys, it was nearly the same price with shipping and more if you got nailed for duty

www.d2racingsport.co.uk if memory serves

(mmm - interesting its dissapeared .... heard they had disti probs in the UK)

don't know a lot about the brakes, but the coilovers are excellent -ran them for two years and about 50 track days on the last car, one rebuilt, but other than that great quality and fabulous price

Steve...How much import duty did you pay and what size were they?

**Bandit** · 23rd May 2008, 08:33 PM

No import duty for me, i slipped through the net

I went for the 356mm 8pots as im running 19" wheels.

**skyline newbie** · 23rd May 2008, 08:36 PM

I'm on 17's so gonna go for the 330mm discs, awesome price. AP 4pots are over double and i don't think they look as good myself, should get a fair price for my old setup from one of the 200 boys too shouldn't i?

I have these on mine as well from the same seller.

Fast shipment (3-4 days from NZ), but I did get stung for £62 import tax....still works out cheaper than buying in UK.

Look the business (356mm with 18" wheels) and seem to do the job well. I have not tested them on any track days yet though.

Cheers
