[chuckie]

Hi All, just a quick post on S2 brake`s,i have set of 32 rear rotor`s & calipers,rotor`s do fit with no mod`s at all but i will need to MOD backing plate to fit caliper,just fitted some new FRONT pad`s i have picked up from CDA & will let you know more on then soon ,few photo`s of rear rotor`s & caliper`s ok ,as you will see 32 rotor is few mm bigger then standard but it fitted ok with stock caliper,i will bolt rotor`s back on over easter weekend & take few more photo`s & mod backing plate to suit 32 set up,as you all so see SLOTTED ROTOR`S ,i will check what pad`s i have for these as well ,cheer`s chuckie.

Thanks for the post Chuckie. Are the yellow calipers the Stagea ones? Or the '32 ones? Interesting that they are sliders... so I guess they're the stagea ones?

Also do you have an RS4 or RWD?

[QWK32]

the yellow ones aren't R32 twin piston ones. the R32 rear twin piston calipers are the non-slide type.

Hi DAVE these are twin`s ,i will post some more as i get them fitted,cheer`s chuckie.

Hi All,ok fitted rear brakes today very easy to do only minor mod required,which was the backing plate just a Trim up so caliper would fit ,i did fit braided line`s aswell so will see if any difference has been made,,i will take some more photo`s of what they look like on car ,cheer`s chuckie.

Hi All just few more photo`s of finished job,cheer`s chuckie.

Ok, so i spent some time down at Autobahn (gillies plains, Adelaide) over the past couple of days and Mel down there was awsome and found pads for the S2 Stag in all brands.

So here is what she gave me: (i only got the bendix codes)

S2 Stagea, Fronts: DB1232GCT cost: $80

S2 Stagea, Rear: DB1399 cost: $90

For rotors you'll have to go genuine Nissan, which cost $190 p/rotor (IIRC)

Mel did quiet a bit of calling around making sure they were the right ones. guess i'll find out when they come in

Niiice chuckie... have those '32 calipers been rebuilt? They look brand new!

PS... something I've always wanted to know... when you changed your calipers, replaced your lines etc. how did you bleed your brakes (what with having ABS and all)?

Interesting... I heard there were some cheaper pads available now for S2 fronts, not sure if they were Bendix... v. interesting... Sucks about the rotors though. I would want slotted for that at least. I will try racebrakes and a few other places, but probably just gonna upgrade to R34 and get mono-blocks at the same time.

they just bleed through like normal, same as a car without ABS.

[DaveB]

Really? I heard you had to pressure-bleed ABS systems, because of all the pumps/potential airspace in the ABS actuator or something? If not... cool

Rooted around with my brake lines a couple of years ago whilst researching non genuine braided lines, had no issues with ABS. The problem arises if you inadvertently allow brake fluid reservior to drain empty during the process. Air can then be introduced where it is not wanted. No doubt pressure bleeding would then be required. When opening the lines have a pipe plug(s) standing by to immediately cap openings, to minimise fluid loss, preclude air entry into system & maintain operating level in fluid reservior. No problem. I used some clear plastic tubing doubled over, same size as drain tube for bleeding excersize(spelling), & tied off (zip ty) to make el cheapo plug. Worked fine.

same here. i just didn't let the reservior empty and i haven't had a problem.

Cool thanks guys.

does anyone know what lines to buy ( in kit form ) to suit the S2 Stagea with R33 GTS-T Calipers??

need to know so i can get them before i do this. also CHUCKIE did you need to put a sleave in the caliper so it doesn't move around??

Thanks

Hello Curt,not quite sure what you meen as i used R32 rear set up & haven`t done any thing to front set up if that`s what your Talking about .if i do look at front mod`s i would either tap small bolt hole`s out to 14mm ,OR look at 34 which is straight swap.and with LINE`S you will need to get them MADE as there long line`s with some 3 mounting point`s ,so good luck,cheer`s chuckie.

[QWK32]

chuckie; there isn't enough material to safely tap out the inserts on R33 front brakes to fit them to a S2 stagea, that why the locating bush method is the way to go for the fronts if using R33 ones. was there a difference in the rears bolt sizes? R32 to S2 stagea? i have a set of R32 rears here but haven't got around to trial fitting them yet.

so even the R33 or R32 gtr stanliess kits you can get would fir cause there too short...

OK, S2 Stagea, Fronts: DB1232GCT cost: $80 are clearly the wrong ones,

on the up side, if you are in adelaide, AutoBahn gillies plains is getting in a few sets of ausbrakes.

they are also a QFM seller now
