wouldn't the bias go the other way though? bigger piston means less force on the rotor for the same pedal pressure (force = pressure/area) - so you're getting more clamp on the rears causing them to lock and trigger the ABS?

Edited by cicatriz7

Problem i have is the abs kicks in way to soon even tho the brakes have much more left in them,

Not a problem with your ABS but rather your choice of caliper!

Why I have never liked this option as an upgrade. If you don thave ABS you would think the setup is crap. ABS in part masks how badly balanced the setup would be with EVO calipers....but will always make the ABS have a heart attack simply because those calipers and rotors will cause the brakes to lock sooo easy

Oh they are quite an improvement and work very very good when you combine them with gripy semis, shitty road tyres will see your abs going skits unless you improve the rear brakes, even if its just slotted rotors and good pads to help even out the brake bias

I was about to do this upgrade when I found a Nismo 355mm brake upgrade, I have fitted the front without doing anything to the rear and with Hankook RS3s on the street hard braking sees the ABS kicking in, the Nismo instructions says this will happen if you don't upgrade the rear with at least better pads :)

I am looking into an upgrade for the rear using a factory Nissan 350 x 20mm disc with the factory GTR brembo :D

  • 2 weeks later...

Im about to put evo calipers on my HR31 with 33R rotors, only reason I didn't go to the 350mm rotors is because I would have to upgrade to 18 inch wheels. Topped off with PMU HC + pads and dba slotted rotors I think these will be more than enough to pull up the old girl.

For anyone looking for calipers I got mine through Streeter delivered to SA I paid just over $500 AUD. I need to put new seals through them and repaint them but still fall cheaper than some of the ones I have seen on ebay etc.

Im hoping the local engineer shop will be able to hook me up with adaptors for a pretty little penny.

Hope you have ABS. Either that or I hope you dont tail gate as first time you have to stop in an emergency I am betting $100 you will lock up and sail into something you dont want to hit

Your car will seriously stop MILES better if you get R32 GTSt or Z32 300ZX calipers and run them on a 324mm rotor. Actually, an R34 GTT setup with a 310mm rotor would probably be better again!

If you must run the EVO Brembos then all you are going to need is something like a basic Bendix pad. A high performance pad like PMU is only going to compound the problems of locking up

I'm actually running the alpha omega kit on the front with the Evo 350mm rotors. I haven't tested

Them on the track yet but in terms of feel and stopping power on the street it has been a massive improvement over my 32 brakes.

I'm also running endless mx72 pads.

In terms of rear braking, if I was to upgrade to a 4 piston 330mm set up, would that be overkill in regards to front/rear bias?

Can you go into a bit more detail? BE greatly appreciated.

Have you run the MX72 pads before? What pads were you running on your old original R32 brakes?

So you have not tracked it but sounds like you have driven it plenty on the street. Do you have ABS? You have uber power so guessing you have used them for hard stops? If you have ABS does it kick in far earlier than before? What % increase or decrease do you have in pedal effort to stop the car in general driving.

LOL, lastly what BMC are you running ... sorry about all the questions

yeah.. the ABS n Evo's can pose a problem then >_<. isnt there a master cyl that you can use and adjust to prevent the lockup?

Sure the BMS has a part to play, but I think the bigger issue with the difference between EVOs and Skylines is probably the pedal ratio. It is really the only thing left that would allow for why EVOs can run such massive caliper pistons and not have a binary brake pedal. So if you must run the EVO brakes on your Skyline I think it would be wise to invest some time in trying to dumb down your pedal ratio

What ever size this sucker is

The Evo brembos are 4 pot

2x40 and 2x46 mm pistons on 350mm rotors

Looks the goods mate, might make your pedal a little softer but thats an easy fix

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
