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 :)

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
