Whatever you reckon. Rotor size (ie. the thermal mass and it's ability to dispense the heat) is what's important. Pad size accounts for 3/4 SFA. But uno, you're the expert, what ever helps you sleep at night. The laws of physics are broken all the time...

If you read i put N1 brake ducts on my car THIS IS A MISSIVE HELP :thumbsup: so i guess your not reading what iam done with my car :whistling: ,

Iam not some silly kid that your talking to ,

But I guess you have a Stagea :no:

I do try different stuff with my BRAKE SETUP,

as you see i did have my Backing plates REBONED & have had R32 4 pots on my car ,

BUT again i don`t look at my car as a Performace car like many think they are ,

I have looked at many ways to IMPROVE STOCK SETUP,best i can do on a small budget,

:wave:

cheers chuckie. might i say those braided lines look the business, i guess the rubber lines would have done the job for the first 10 yrs of the cars life but id imagine mine are fairly well toast by now.

i think i might save my coin and get GTT calipers with braided lines and some dba/rda slotted rotors and EBC greenstuff pads cos ive had a good run with them and they arent anywhere near as dusty as some.

if i end up turfing my SMIC you rekon it would be worth running some ducting from the front bar ends to the brake calipers/rotors? just something home job nothing to overboard.

Or you can generally pick up 2nd hand brembos for like $1500 of a 350z

thats the line i was enquiring about, im aware alot of people are running the 350z rotors but will 350z brembos only bolt up to m35's?

Just wanted to say i have just done the rear pads on my RSFOUR-S and they are definitely the Bendix DB1399.

If your old pads still have the metal backing shim plates to help spread the piston load across the pad, then you will find that the 2 little nipples on the back face of the outer pads will interfere.

Use some side cutters to remove the nipples and file them back to be flush. Apart from that, perfect fit.

Guess this is the best place for the following.

Just did a skim and rear brake pad replacement on my M35 300RX. All went well and feels perfect now.

The pads where a stocked off the shelf item and where listed for the M35.

They are Bendix DB1509 GCT and are a perfect fit. Cheap at only $80 total for both sets.

They are the ceramic tech ones with titanium stripe (no bedding in).

The fronts were changed earlier and are the Bendix DB1232 GCT.

Too easy!

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
