God how effing hard is it? Ordered some DB1399's through repco on wednesday said they'd have them thursday but somehow ordered in front pads for the stag... so then ordered them again and DB1144's turn up... Some people can't get anything bloody right.

due for front pads for my s2, found bendix now has a listing for them db1696

might be worth adding this to the first post in the thread to make it easier to find

all the c34 and m35 stagea pads can be found on the bendix website here

http://www.bendix.co...an&model=Stagea

I used them in my 180sx and with its weight of only 1250kg, going through the hills it would get severe fade and end up with no brakes at all. They where also dusty as hell.

Put in a set of stock Nissan pads and heaps better compared to bendix ultimates.

i have bendix ultimates. nd i dont get any brake fade through the hills, how ever they do squeal like hell. they are very dusty. only thing i would recommend doing is putting dot 5 brake fluid in if u have dot 4 atm. however i do also have R34 brakes all round. but shouldn't be much difference interms of brake fade.

Well i have DOT 3 in at the moment and is says on the fluid reservoir to use DOT 3 only. I just put some Bendix General CT pads on the front to replace the (worn) stock nissan pads and noticed an immediate improvement in braking performance. They were cheap enough that I can replace them if they fail my expectations but I guess time will tell :thanks:

dot 4 exceeds the requirements for dot3

I've got the remsa pads on the front of mine (with r34 4 pots front and 2 pot rears)a they are lovely, really notice the difference coming from the r31

Dot 5 brake fluid should not be used on an abs equipped road car. It is silcone based and quite different from normal brake fluid.

Dot 3 is pretty much obsolete and can be replaced by Dot 4 or Dot 5.1 (as opposed to Dot 5).

yea sorry meant DOT 5.1, not DOT 5

That is really retarded. Why wouldn't they give DOT5 a completely different name, instead of having DOT5, which you can't use, and DOT5.1, which you should use? So easy to get confused...

Heya guys.. had a half decent read through the thread here but just need confirmation on a cpl things.

I have a s1 stagea with totally crap stock breaks. been offered some r33 gtst 4pots and slotted rotors for cheap.

1.they do bolt straight up.. Ie no need to drill the caliper mounts out larger/sleeve them?

2.stock brake master cylinder is up to the task of operating these 4 pots?

Edit. found the answers i was looking for other than one more question.

Will 33 brakes foul on my standard stagea wheels?

Edited by driftrx

Most sets of 350Z brembos seemed to be around the $600-800 mark when I was looking. Check out Japan then compare to here and the states.

Personally I'd be going the Akebonos if anything. SO sex, and by the time you add up cost of lines, rotors, etc, it doesn't work out too expensive.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
