Stagea Brakes

[scotty nm35]

The stock lines would have been fine, did you remove the restrictor so the Banjo could seat?

[TM35]

The standard R34 lines conveniently had been chopped from Japan...

The restrictor will be removed the custom lines will have to wait till next week now

[stealth-ish]

Just out of interest (for S2 AWD models) has anyone tried El Grand front rotors?

From the measurements I've found for the TE 52 these should in theory work?

290mm Diameter
28mm Thickness
49.2mm
68mm centre

Ok all I have no pedal. I have a s1 just swapped the fronts for 32gtr. I used the stock stagea line and banjo bolt. I can bleed them no air is coming out but when the car is running there is no pedal at all unless u pump it up but wont hold it after. I have a hissing sound when u pump the pedal and the car will rev hunt. What could be the problem

[scotty nm35]

Did you remove the restrictor in the banjo hole?

Perhaps the master cylinder is leaking inside the booster? Only because the revs hunt on application... Or the booster diaphragm might be leaking.

I removed the bit in the calipers. Is there another bit to take out? Its not dropping the fluid level so no leaks I can see. I was talking with some other owners on fb and they think booster or master need to be replaced

[whitenight27]

Everything was working fine before the swap

[scotty nm35]

Can you see any leaks at the calliper, like in between the halves?

Otherwise you may need to drop the master and check the seal behind it, between the master and booster.

[whitenight27]

Nar dont see any leaks at all. Not dropping the fluid level and no fluid dropping from the calipers

It sounds like the master is your culprit in this situation mate. You may want to check the seals on the master before going any further.

Its going to a shop near my work tomorrow. Will be a slow drive there

[whitenight27]

Also do u have to cut down the stock banjo bolt a little?

[scotty nm35]

Not if you removed the restrictor from the banjo hole in the calliper...

[whitenight27]

Yer I done that. Well its off to get the abs bleed and hope thats all it is. Other wise will change the booster

[scotty nm35]

If you don't clamp the lines before undoing the banjo from the stock callipers, there is a good chance you will get air in the ABS motor and these sort of issues will arise. I have bled the ABS lines myself, it just takes a lot longer as the air doesn't like going down hill.

[whitenight27]

I did have clamps on but not shore if they were done up enough not know

[Trex]

Is there an alternative to skimming 32gtr rotors for the s1 Stagea? Just noticed mine may need doing soon.

[GoldZilla]

If you're using 32GTR Sumitomo calipers with your R32 discs, there is no need to skim them.

[KiwiRS4T]

The alternative is to buy rotors from DBA etc

[Stag love]

Just bought r33 gtr calipers and rotors for my s2 rs4s. Will i need r33 gtr braided lines? or can i just remove the restrictor like previously said?

is there anything else i'll need to take into consideration?
