does anyone have any s2 c34 brakes that they dont want?

doesn't matter if they are a bit warped, and the thicker the better

also the cheaper or freeer the better

chiuck me a pm if you can help

qld preffered

I have now bought my replacement calipers from off a r33gtst, sumitomo 4 pots ( front ) ans sumitomo 2 pots (rear).

I shall get the gtst discs front and back next.

I have a question, will these calipers and discs fit with the standard 16" wheels? Series1 stagea.

I hope so!!!!

R33's come with 16's standard so you know the diameter will be ok. To quickly check the offset/disc clearance just make sure you have atleast 20-25mm of extra space between the rim and the stock 2pot caliper, the 4pots stick out around that much further than the 2pots.

Hey guys Im looking at a complete brake overhaul for my S1,

just wondering on recommended people to go see in Adelaide southernish area

anyone had dealings with All Clutch and Brake Services? from what im told i need my calipers need to be overhauled, new pads and new rotors, my stag is reasonably stock (soon to add boost controller and safcII) so just wondering what you would recommend as I dont think i will need to upgrade too much even though there will be more power

cheers

Can't suggest a shop but can recommend you get some better quality pads and replace fluid with Motul RBF600. If you are not a driver who stands on their brakes all the time and not intending track days then that and new stock rotors should be fine.

i've done a lot of reading and for a sports pad or to increase the capability of your brakes i'd be looking at some qfm pads

think they are still developing the s1 pad so maybe you could look at getting someones s2 brakes and get those put on, this will get you up to a 290mm rotor which is closer to acceptable for a car of the stageas weight

how much were you looking to spend on recoing the stock brakes?

I assume that last bit is directed at me too be honest I have no idea hence why i came to the bible of stagea knowledge... what ever it costs to a decent but not over compensating as i will probably be getting rid of the car this year and it will never see a race track

why change it then? rebuild kit will be hard to get and exxy. callipers leaking? get some cheap s1 replacements from someone who has upgraded

anyone in adelaide know where i can get slotted disc's for my s2 stag? also what pads do you guys reccomend for high performance street use.....i.e. occasion track day? any estimates on prices?

qfm ar1m pads, now for s2 stags, ebay $179 = win

less dust than bendix ultimates and waaaaaaaaaaay better performance, that with slotted rotors will be a good upgrade

pm "rs73" he could get me new slotted rotors very cheap

*n00b statement* mechanic told me the calipers needed a full overhaul and it would take a couple days plus apparently the rotors are warped.... brakes pulse a bit shudder when hot under hard braking.

the next step was going to see if i could get some second hand ones but i dont really know what im looking for... im guessing if i get second hand calipers its probably still a good idea to get new discs and pads?

if rotors are warped then you may be able to skim them (lathe them flat) but if they are worn and already getting pretty thin then this is not a good idea

second hand calipers can be had cheap, just look at the pistons and dust seals and make sure they havn't been leaking

    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
