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!

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
