sorry for the late reply

i got the brakes running in now

so far done abot 300kms on the weekend

overall impression feels like im driving my evo again when im punching the brakes lol

pretty damn good

pedal still feels abit abit too soft but doesnt feel dodgy though

ill wait and let my bank account recover and spend more money on it later

how much pedal movement before you get them to bite?? more than the stockers i would imagine!

when you buy the new master, make sure the outputs are in the same places as the current one

Sorry to res this thread - but I've got the 350z brembos and want to get all the parts I need before fitting it.

So far, I've got the calipers. I'll get rotors and pads locally.

I've seen the master cylinder on ebay. Does all 350z have the same master cylinder or would brembo equipped z33's have different ones?

Also, brake lines from 350GT needed?

Too bad Danny doesn't come on the forums anymore...PM'ed him but no response >_<

I have Brembo's and my brakes are perfect....you don't need to upgrade the master cylinder.....you will have hassle's fitting the standard wheels though.....you use your brake lines.

P.S. Danny sold his car about 1 to 2 years ago....went to an IS250 or something.pinch.gif

Hmm I'm planning on running 350z Track rims. 18 x 8 +30....would they clear?

Either that or GTR rims...18 x 9 +30....

Hi all,

I've just purchased from the US via ebay a full set of brembos from a 2005 350Z anniversary edition including brake lines. Shipped Monday via UPS. Three boxes in total. One box weighing 45lbs containing the calipers and 4 rotors in 2 separate boxes each one weighing 40lbs. There is a new set of ceramic brake pads included and the existing pads have about 2K on them. According to the seller, all in excellent condition.

I've got Advan T7 18" wheels so should fit with no problems.

Now just got to find the time to install them. What with the sway bars and links from Daleo also. I've got some busy times ahead.

Rosella.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
