Just finished Brembo conversion on my car

documented some details and so on.

and took alot of pics

Brembos Finally arrived

Closer look at the front.

With the Rest of my stuff

Slotted EBC rotors and EBC red stuff brake pads

Standard Front

Standard rotor vs new 324mm rotors

Fronts installed

The fronts where pretty easy and straight forwards but you must use the brake lines off the 350gt as it will be a straight fit

using the brackets

The rears needed abit of modification on the dust cover and the brake lines needed some custom mountings

dust covers designed for the standard rotors

Had to get a nibbler and modify it

Rear brembos installed

*the standard caliper blots coudlnt be used cuz it had a finer thread u can either use OEM Z33 or aftermarket caliper bolts

So stolked to see that Danny! Its exactly what I have been planning.

Can you give me the part numbers for the rotors you used. Also did you need to to make a mounting adaptor for the rear calipers, or just make room with the dust tins?

Ben.

i can provide you all the part numbers

but only mod to the rear was the dust pan and different bolts

no mods were requiered to fit the rear

price wise would set u back 2.5K-3K

obviously i didnt pay that much for it lol

going to finish off blddeding the brakes today

so ill let u guys know how it feels

is there a chance youll have to upgrade your master cylinder?? else youll be pushing VERY far on the pedal before it grabs. might need to get the master from a brembo equipped V35 (if they are different)

too much movement..

it's not hard enuff for brembos

A larger piston master cylinder will help but if your pedal isnt too low, see how it goes.

Have you bed the brakes in properly? Go for a thrash through the mountains and they will feel better after, promise. If not, you might just need to re-bleed.

I was hoping for a better review of the EBC reds... :thumbsup:

    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
    • One way of putting the fuel surge idea to rest, is that even when in neutral/clutch in or free revving it still has the same issue, it can’t even get to limiter (7800) so to me that says it can’t be g force, I’m not trying to argue I just want to find the f&$king issue 😡
