Hi guys

post-42272-1237247525_thumb.jpg

Got some R33 brembo today an just need some clarification mounting them..

.

It does not have any L or R markings on them so how do i mount them? Does the bleeding nipples point up therefore placing the smaller piston to the top?

Or does the nipples point down therefore placing the smaller piston below?

Also i noticed there are no shims between the pads and pistons, does brembos have any?

Can anybody identify this pad? (YK14BP)

Thanks in advance

Is there any sequence when bleeding? Front first--back first--Two at the same time etc. etc. etc.

Oooh.... and shims, are there any???

ABS, left rear, right rear, left front, right front. Go for a drive. Maybe have to do it again.

Shims, personally I don't use any. They are there to prevent squeel. You can use some paste instead if you don't have them. At them end of the day squeel is more about the pads than the shims.

Favour time:

Any chance of taking a photo of a Sumitomo calliper pad next to a Brembo equivalent?

Does the brembo come with shims originally?

Maybe i can modify the ones from the sumitomo caliper to work?

I hate squeel :P

The bleeding part i was referring to the two nipples on the caliper itself.... Any particular one first?

is there a massive difference in braking between the sumitomo and Brembos. Obviously the Brembos you can mount bigger rotors etc but is it light and day diff or just slightly better?

Will let u know my opinion as soon as they are fitted and run for a couple of days

the pads being endless CC-R are a pretty hard core track pad. they will squeal like a biatch, with or without shims, and yes the brembos come with shims as standard. no I wouldn't try and use your old sumitomo ones. you can buy new ones from nissan. or get some aftermarket titanium ones which are supposed to give a good heat barrier too .

Did some checkin and it seems that the front did not come with shims only the back.

This was taken from the R33 workshop manual

Well the brembos are fitted and i must say there is a noticeable difference in breakin power....

I dont have to press the pedal as much as before and the car comes down considerably faster,it is also very easy to get the tyres screeching now when braking from warp speed :kiss:

Some things ive noticed tho..... there are spots all over the surface of the rotors when the brakes are used moderately,other wise when given a hard time it has a bluish burnt hue Are these spots normal???

When the pads are heated up they make a kind of growling noise when the brakes are used hard,is this normal with the CCR pad? I think this it the most dusty pad i have ever used on any vehicle it stinks up my chrome in one drive!!! No squeel tho :)

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
