Stagea Brakes

apprently the 260rs brake pads are the same as the 33,34gtrs for the front and i would susprct th rers are the same. they share the same part numbers

of course they are :whistling: the brembos are r33 gtr items on 260rs's, and the r34 ones are identical but painted gold instead. so brake pads would be exactly the same :laugh:

soz my son was playing with me and got distracted.

Anyway what i mean is brake fluids are there much difference between DOT 4& 5?

I've heard also about if we keep on switching brands when we change the brake fluids it will screw up the seals? Can anybody enlightened me please.

As far as i heard from Race brakes, they said it won't damage your seals. Also any brand of DOT4 is the same.

The difference between the DOT4 & DOT5 is the Boiling Temperature. DOT5.1 have a higher temperature rating and of course it's a higher quality brake fluid than DOT4.

has anyone confirmed yet that the R33gts (DBA 4963) rotors bolt on to the s2 front with some outside diameter machining ???? the was some talk of them touching calipers, has anyone done this to their s2, or something different they can share.

What about R34 Gtt rotors and calipers on front and back, would this upset the brake bias significantly ? thanks

Hey huys im a little conf*cked.

i want new pads for the S1 had a look at that autospeedbits site and tried to work out from the selection list they have what i need for the front and back, but had no luck.

http://www.autospeedbits.com.au/resources/...BrakesList.html

here is my question:

are the pads on the front and rear the same as the r33gtst/gtr or the r32gtst/gtr.

sorry again but i have read this thread front to back and all i want is a descent set of pads.

thanks for any help in advance cheers again

Clint, I believe it's DB1250 for the front, and DB1144 for the rear, assuming you're still running the standard s1 brakes.

Unfortunately, they're only two-spot brakes on the front, and one-spots on the rear, as opposed to 4-spot F and 2-spot R on the R32 GT-R and GTSt, and R33 GTSt.

So no one has found s2 stagea front pads yet,

I have spent heap of time trying to match up a set and the closest i came was a set of 'rdb 1439' they are slighltly longer and need some machining down to fit app 3mm per side.

The other day at work i was working on a 2005 subaru liberty gt i saw that the pad looked very familiar so i measured it ....157mm in length same as s2 stagea. So i will be checking this out shortly and hopfully it will put an end to all s2 stagea owners worries... :D

but if anyone else has a solution already please let us know...

and thanks

ok it's not the 2005 subaru liberty gt but they are the closest fit as they are 157mm and only require alittle cutting and they will fit.

alternitively change to brembos GTR...or 4 piston GTS-T but yo may have to change the offset of your wheels or use spacers :P

R33's came with 16" standard. :O

its to do with the way the spokes are at the back of the rim, that determines if they will fit or not.

skyline brakes apparently need a 'high clearance' type rim, ie. one that the back of the rim is quite flat, or curves very close to the rim itself, not like alot of those rims that curve in to give them the 'dish look'

my rims only just clear gtr brembos and they are abit dished, but its the spoke design that allows clearance in the right area...

heres a pic of the clearance with my 17' rims... (i think its about 10mm max)

i find the brembos a great upgrade and very much worth the $$$ if u got reasonable horsepower and wanna stop safely :O

    • So what youre saying is, a nistune would require extensive dyno'ing etc to even get remotely close to driving like factory, where as a LINK would do the same with ease? If I go link, it would most likely be tuned by myself, learning from scratch. Where as Nistune, would be tuned probably by a shop. But to be honest, as much as Id like the huge capabilty of the LINK, still debating on LINK + Self tune (no experience at all) vs nistune + tuned by a shop.. Actually while ont his topic, just want to check pricing/requirements. Link / Haltech ECU $2000-$2500 Wideband (Got a brand new LSU4.9 in the garage, just gotta get a gauge/controller?) FMIC $700? (probably blitz) NISTUNE Nistune installation <$500 Tune <$1000 FMIC $700 (blitz?) R35 MAF ~$350?  
    • I have a gen 2 3076 with 11 blade wheel. Wanting something similar size but in a 6/6 blade configuration (mostly for the mad dose 😁)    Any turbo recommendations? I have a stroked 2.8 but mainly looking for low end response. 
    • Massive price drop Want to buy some super fancy parts for new build
    • I hate to be that guy, but a highflow that doesn't need a change of downpipes (i.e you need to buy the HPI downpipe or similar, which is good) And 98? Just.... be happy with 270kw. Unless you want E85 which for a daily is something you'll probably CBF running the gamut on in 2024. Just hyper expensive and limited in practicality. All the over 300kw setups are running E85, or external gates. You can imagine E85+External Gate changes things a lot. You can run gates off the stock manifold, or the stock turbo housing even... but you start getting into the "Why don't I just run a different manifold" discussion pretty fast. The LINK ECU is the goods. They fill a similar niche as the Haltech but haven't quite generated their own tax yet. The benefits over a Nistune are really notable if you want to be a tinkerer - there's a lot of custom stuff that goes on in cars like these when you change stuff. A tuner with nistune is good, but you really need tons of cycles and driving around, and different weather and all these circumstances that a dyno just can't dial in. The link will help you do that and get modified cars driving like factory cars.
    • I'm much more positive on downsized turbos these days. Probably not a fan of these V6 turbos because they're a packaging nightmare but an I6 turbo vs modern NA GDI DOHC V8 is pretty comparable these days in terms of general pain in the neck for some reason.
