Stagea Brakes

[gslrallysport]

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 so i guess your not reading what iam done with my car ,

Iam not some silly kid that your talking to ,

But I guess you have a Stagea

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,

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.

Seeing as though GTR brembo's are a direct bolt up to an S2, will any 'big brake' kit made to fit GTR's bolt up fine?

[Duncan]

basically yes. as long as they fit under your chosen wheel, any gttr kit should fit for offset/clearance/brake lines etc

anything r34 gtt or r34 gtr

[Duncan]

the kit I fitted was 32 gtr....but 32-34 are all the same. 33 gtst would be the same as well. so lots of choices, thanks Nissan

the renault/m35 stuff is harder...there you need 350z kits

[Sunkist]

The gtr32 bolts up fine with minimal mods, don't fit under my wheels though! Or you can generally pick up 2nd hand brembos for like $1500 of a 350z

[RS4-S]

350z stuff wont bolt up to a C34 though? i thought that was an m35 upgrade?

[bubba]

I'm running 350Z front rotors.

As for caliper upgrade, series 1 C34 can use all R32-33 GTR brakes but series 2 C34 uses 14mm bolts (like 34GTT).

[Sunkist]

^^ like that

[RS4-S]

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?

[bubba]

Locally sourced braided front lines FTW

Compliments the slotted RDA 350Z rotors, EBC Greenstuff pads and master cylinder stopper very nicely.. excellent response in the pedal now

[Jezboosted]

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!

sorry guys i dont realy have time to search threw this whole thread but is this true?? v35 skyline discs are the same??? need new discs for my s2 and not too much info around.. thanks

[bubba]

I'm running 350Z front rotors.

[canarygsr]

machined??

[canarygsr]

oh that wasnt for me

[bubba]

It was for you and no they were not machined, bolted straight on no worries, just have to make sure you lever the caliper as far out as it can go as you tighten the bolts.
