New Brakes, Ummmm!

[hungry6]

Well I spent the whole of Saturday and half of today ripping appart my brake system and changing the stock disc over to DBA 4000 series one.

Well I really can't say if it was all from the disc, but the brakes now feels really good, almost as good or better than my old carrera 4. Really!!

What I did was, as said before new disc all round, replace all the hose with nismo braided item. Pulled appart the master cylinder and bore it out an extra 1mm, also at the same time replace the reaction diaphram with a faster one. As to me the skyline brake reaction has always been abit slow, well to me anyway.

So the whole excercise cost me $1200 with new pads/disc and a whole host of other things and 1 and a 1/2 day.(also a master cyl. brace)

So how did it feels and drive, well it has an instantaneous feel, also gone, is the spongyness of the old system, and it is very linear and progressive.

on a hard brake, with semi slicks tyre, the car is trying very hard to pop you out of the seat with the seat belt on.

Funny thing is initially I thought the nissan 4 spot were abit poxy, but I'm having new respect for what they can do with the right support.
