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!

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
