I just redid the entire brake system on the Stagea

DBA slotted fronts as per this thread

Bendix 1250 front pads

Bendix 1144 rear pads

Genuine Nissan rear brake discs

Genuine Nissan rear handbrake shoes

Rebuilt all the brake calipers (new seals, new pistons in 1, cleaned, some silver coating, greased)

The total was about $1250

so the dba slotted rotors I got off you a year ago fit, hey Alex?

arranging my tuner to fit the rotors, front pads and allround Maltech braided brake lines, mid next month

Got some genuine Nissan Pit Work Stagea Series II 4WD front brake pads from Japan the other day and this is written on the box:

Part Number: AY040-NS129

Fuga [Y50]: VQ25DE, VQ35DE - '04/10-

Skyline [V35]: 350GT - '04/11-

Also stamped into the pad itself: HITACHI HP63H FF

I have a sneaking suspicion rwd & 4wd are different but I could be wrong

I hope this helps anyone still looking for their SII

If you need more info (pics/measurements etc) just ask!

I find the stock Stagea brakes are good if you have a good pad in there...and trust me I drive it as if its a sports car so braking is very important to me.

not me

even with endless pads and stainless lines with better brake fluid

i was still getting brake fade and other random problems

once i switched to drilled rotors/gtr brakes/and changed the fluid again to some trust fluid

it was golded on the touge

anybody familiar with the 260rs brakes (discs and pads?) i would imagine they are the same as the 33GTR? Wats the 33gtr specs? Like wats the part numbers for the rotors (DBAs) and the part numbers for the pads (bendix, ferrodo ETC). Thanks

Hi guys,

I hope I'm not asking a question which has been asked before - I have searched. Just like to confirm I have this correct...

Series 2

Front Disc Rotors - DBA 4963 (R33 GTST) modified by machining down the OD by 6mm, all of the other dimensions are the same. Unlike the Series 1, this is very minor machining, I would not expect any problems with this, we do it all the time on the race car rotors.

DBA have these in stock currently

Rear Disc Rotors - DBA 4908 (R32GTR), modified by maching down the OD by 5mm, all of the other dimensions are the same. Unlike the Series 1, this is very minor machining, I would not expect any problems with this, we do it all the time on the race car rotors.

Does this mean that a 33 GTST rotor will fit the front of a series 2 stagea, *with* machining down of 6mm? Or without machining? And same with 32 GTR to fit rear of series 2 - it needs the 5mm reduction of OD?

Not talking about the DBA rotors, but stock 33 GTST and 32 GTR parts.

Thanks!

hi all,

bought some front pads for my series1 stagea using the 1398bendex number

said dont make these anymore but got me lucas pads instead

thought the part number might help people

no. lucas pads gdb3273

also says on box that these are used for

nissan infiniti(usa) o1.98>01.94

nissan leopard 01.93>

nissan maxima qx 10.94>

hope this info can help other stagea owners

i have r32 GTR front and rear brakes on my stagea, no problems

My setup, using Castrol Dot4 super response fluid

Rear:

Stock discs

Bendix Heavy-Duty brake pads

Maltech stainless steel brake lines

Front:

DBA slotted rotors

Bendix Advance brake pads

Maltech stainless steel brake lines

Works very very well in the urban environment. Impressed actually, considering it hasnt been a huge upgrade. Peddle feel is nice and progressive compared to braking performance. Gives me confidence to stop in a hurry if need be. never had an accident before......

Hope that this has not already been covered.... Understand that there are few R33/R34 brake upgrade options but only really need a basic set-up.

Getting some pulsating when brakes are pressed. Local mechanic tells me that my discs are warped but are too thin to be machined. He has offered to order some original Nissan Stagea replacement rotors ex-Japan but I would rather get something done locally to save time and $$$!

Need help from a brake place in Sydney that knows some stuff about our Stagea's & can fabricate / replace brake pads + rotors.

Thanks guys.

You might want t to check the GB section. Theres an ongoing GB for RDA (ithink) brake rotors. Very cheap. You might want to give him the dimension (diameter of your rotors and thickenss) and he will sought you out. Get the slotted ones don get the dimpled onr cross drilled ones as they might crack under heavy use. Let us know if you have any problems

Stasis,

i just sent rs73 a pm re: rotors for my S2 Stagea. I did a quick 'stagea' word search in the thread but could only find ure post re: "for A Nissan Stagea it has the R33Gtr Brembo brakes on it. How much for a front and rear? Std, slotted and dimples?...." but no answer.

Did you end up getting them? If so how do they compare to the standard rotors, did you install them your self or how much did you have to pay to get them installed.

Also, what brake pads are you using.... Will be sure to get the slotted ones :worship:

Duncan,

Will give Grey Imports a call tomorrow... are they the ones in Annandale???

Maybe Nathan can help me install the rotors i get from the group buy mentioned above!

Thanks for the contact!

From memory the sloted front is A$300/paor delivered which is preety good price. I havent got them yet. My rotors will be in for another set of brake pads before i need to change them. I will be getting this rotors for sure when i need them. Im using endless SSS now it came with the car when i imported it in. As it is estimated at 30% left on the pads, i will be switching to EBC Green. Reason is my rears have EBC Green ATM. I prefered Ferrodo though. Cos they say its better to use the same brand pads for front and rears as their coefficients are the same but somo people might think it doesnt matter. I prefer Ferrodo they are only AS$50 buck difference in price between EBC and ferrodo. Its up to you really. Boys on the budget?! EBC, not so on the budget?! Bendix or Lucas, spoil yourself?! Ferrodo. It also depends how you are going to use the car. Normal driving or track? If normal driving EBC or bendix should be ok. Hope this helps.

Yudi,

rs73 tells me that he may be able to source some rotors specifically for my S2 RS4's but wanted to check over all dimensions before he can confirm. Have let him know that i will be taking her to Grey imports next week to see what my other options are. On a budget so will probably go for EBC or Bendix, dont plan to take her to the track at this stage :)

Duncan,

Spoke to Nathan earlier today and have booked her in for next week. He mentioned that he has recently done yours & may have some rotors in stock that will fit mine. He sure sounds like he knows what he's on about. Will let you know how it goes. Thanks again for the hook-up!

You taking your car to grey imports for? For the brake rotors or the pads? If for the rotors i dont think you will find any cheaper RDA rotors around for that price.

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
