Stagea Brakes

[yuma]

Does anyone know if s14 brakes will bolt in?

[KiwiRS4T]

Dunno. Are they bigger or better?

[yuma]

They're bigger than m35 calipers I think.

[Kazal]

So, I got these calipers from Niss4x4, supplied as R34GTT, but they literally have 's15' written on them in marker. 

*See attached
Have I been had?

 

 

[admS15]

Yep you've been lied to. They are S15 callipers. Take them back to the flamin mongrel and throw them at his head

[Kazal]

**UPDATE

So, they sent swaps.
Are these correct? For bolt on fitment for 2002 M35 Stagea (once rotors are upgraded to suit)

 

 

[admS15]

They look more like it. Have you got a 310mm disc to test fit with. R33 calipers use 296mm disc and 34 use 310mm disc.

Bro, I love eBay and Alibaba etc, but that looks like a bad idea to me........

[Kazal]

OCD. Something bad was gonna happen if I didn't.

Has anyone also upgraded the brake booster and master cylinder?

I been investigating this for the s2 stag with r34gtt calipers etc all round.

Some advise they get softer pedal feel or abs doesn't activate like it used to.

Suggestions i've seen are to go the r34gtt brake booster/master cylinder also, 

however they both quote BM50... So whats the diff? is the booster different?

(the only physical difference looking at pics online seems to be the reservoir)

Cheers,

Pete

My memory is going but I believe when I up graded to GTT brakes I kept the stock M/C and booster which was  fine for the job. When I fitted D2 330mm brakes to the front and GTR brakes to the rear I changed the master cylinder (kept the stock booster IIRC)  to BM57 with no ill effects (pulled up straight at high speeds on the track).

[Duncan]

And I'm running 32 GTR rear and ATTKD 330mm/8 piston fronts with the standard booster and master cylinder without pedal issues.

What problem are you trying to solve? Because mushy/long pedals almost always come down to bleeding or sometimes pad break in

[Stagea_Neo]

Thanks Duncan and Bob.

1-2cm extra pedal travel, a tad soft compared to original.

Previously could just rest / weight of my foot on brake pedal to start pulling up. 

Does the much same after swap, but needs a bit extra pressure applied.

Not triggering abs like used to, which was quite easy previously. 

Doesn't feel spongy/sloppy, pulls up a lot better than original setup.

I've bled all calipers, cleared any air bubbles.

Maybe i do the bleed procedure again. RL, RR, FL, FR

Wish to get it back to where it was with just lightest of pedal push.

Cheers,

Pete

 

[Stagea_Neo]

Beyond that maybe I look installing a BM57 and keep my booster?

[Trex]

My pedal is also soft, using the r33 f+r setup. It's pretty normal for this to happen when using bigger/more pistons.

I was going to get a bm57 like most people do, but for the money i've learnt to live with it.

 

It's up to you, Pete. If it annoys you that much get a bm57, if not just let it go and you'll soon forget about it, till you drive a properly setup car... or a new car
