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.

    • 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.
