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.

    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
