Recondtioning Brakes For M35 Series 2 Stagea

Recommended Posts

I drove my 2002 stagea m35 ARX series 2 for the first time yesterday and was advised by the person compiling the car to have the rear brakes reconditioned. ( The car had been idle for over 3 months on a wharf)

The brakes had frozen and were quite rusted on the outside.The mechanic worked on them but

When I drive it feels like the brakes are slightly on or I have the handbrake on.

Which reputable company do I take it to in Brisbane and what does reconditioning actually mean?

Better yet who should I not take it to.

What brakes/calipers etc are compatible as I doubt the brake technicians will know what is or is not available for this model.

They may just add Volvo gear!

eg Can the Nissan 350 Z brake setup be used?

Of the 4 different series 2 stagea models are the brakes the same in all models?

anyway there is a brake option thread here:

http://www.m35stagea....php?f=22&t=108

Have read that and numerous other posts on SAU and M35stagea sites. Seems that often the year / model details are not complete and sometimes it is not clear if it is the rotors or pads or both that are compatible. I am trying to work out if

- 03-05 Nissan 350Z Non-Track edition (without Brembo calipers)

- 03-04 Infiniti G35 Non-Track edition (without Brembo calipers)

- 05 Infiniti G35 AWD model

F & R rotor and pads would fit.

Some posts mention the 350Z but don't give any other details.

Will keep searching.

Xtrail stuff should work too. Best upgrade options would be V36 Akebono brakes followed by 350z brembos.

My rear brakes were sticking, the sliding pin had bent causing uneven pad wear. I bent the pin back, greased it, replaced the pads and they have been fine since.

Have read Xtrail rear only is a match?

Have found some drilled and slotted rotors oem size, cheap with good customer feedback and thought this would be an easy upgrade for road use. Mainly wanted to get rid of the front rotor shudder.

Hello,

Can anyone please "Fast" the part numbers for the Front & Rear rotors for M35 and also the part number for front & rear brake pads.

Want to sort this out for good on what is and isn't compatible.

Many thanks

Julius

    • Hi I wanted to see if anyone knows the name of the OEM R32 rims because I can't find it anywhere
    • Gates is saying the same thing. They think I have the right bag with the wrong hose in it... I bought it off amazon, I'm thinking someone pulled a good old swapparoo and returned normal hose. Well looks like she's coming back out... Not very lucky with this hose lol. 
    • Chatting one someone recently at racing them at QR. They say you can't take turn 2 in one flat stick in 4th. They don't have the torque to pull them selves straight, so make sure you're ringing it's neck out in 3rd instead
    • Many years ago when I bought my FG XR6T, it came with bald tyres on the back (think pretty much smooth for most of the tread) and brand new Kinforest cheap shit tyres on the front. In the rain, I had more grip in the bald ass tyres on the back, than the brand new Kinforest. To the point you couldn't drive off at a set of lights and turn the corner. Car would only go straight. Very quickly all four tyres were replaced.   A few years back on a VF SV6 I had, it came with brand new chineesium tyres. In the wet at 90kmh, old 1990s tray back tradie utes could corner faster than me. There was one corner on a freeway, in a 90 zone, it's not even marked to reduce speed for those curve, it's not a hard corner, I could put the LandCruiser on mud tyres through with ease (it would easily do the corner in the wet I reckon at 120kmh), the VF however couldn't get through it at 80, as it would want to slide out.   Cheap tyres aren't worth the risk. I like decent brakes, and decent grip.
    • It shouldn't swell like that, (just looked it up) it should say SAE J30R10
