erm... When I said my brakes don't fade.. .I lied.. :D

I just took the car for a spin to try and get them to fade.

Initially from a 180km/h brake I can still lock the brakes on demand at what ever speed. be it 40km/h or 120km/h.

The second stop at first I can lock the brakes if need be but as the speed decreases to around 80km/h I have to stomp on the brakes pretty hard to lock them.

The third stop will pull up fine from 180km/h however i cannot lock them at all.

The fourth stop i can start to feel a bit of fade as the car feels like it is sliding (typical brake fade)

Fifth stop... pulled up ok but not really that quick. I pushed as much as I could within reason however there was no way I would stop quick a corner was approaching.

I happened to look down at my side mirror and I notice a little bit of smoke from the pads/disk area from the rear wheels as were the front wheels. Very smelly.

The brakes do not fade as quickly as conventional commodore brakes. With the old VS one second you had brakes the next second you had nothing. At least I get a bit of warning.

I will definately be upgrading disks and pads.

    • That's awesome. Fully serviced/full log book history for one of those cars is super rare from what I know. With JDM's like Skyline's, Supras, are quite hard to find one with full log book history. S15's seem to be somewhat of an exception, at least the spec s australian delivered models.
    • Hey all, It's been a bit since I have been able to update.  I pulled the fuel pump, first off it was a "universal" pump and the strainer was very clogged, and it was folded over on itself.  I replaced the fuel pump and all is well....  No more stalling.
    • That's convinced me I'll bump up the G30-660 to 770   Any idea if the difference in boost pressure? Cheers

    • Hey guys so turns out this project is going to be much bigger than I thought haha but I've done some my homework and have done a few panels on my car, but one part I can just not visualise is this. If I do a spot repair and I put filler in a dent for example and sand outside of the repair with 320 grit lets say so the primer can stick as I will only put primer on that repair and the surrounding area and then repaint the whole panel. Don't I need to make sure that I don't put primer on the old clear coat? I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down, it's still shiny. I thought putting paint on clearcoat or primer on clearcoat is a bad idea because it won't stick. So in this scenario it's a bit different to mine but imagine someone doing a spot repair and only painting that small section of repair but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat. What am I missing?
