Gtr Brembo

[Don Dada]

Hi guys

Got some R33 brembo today an just need some clarification mounting them..

.

It does not have any L or R markings on them so how do i mount them? Does the bleeding nipples point up therefore placing the smaller piston to the top?

Or does the nipples point down therefore placing the smaller piston below?

Also i noticed there are no shims between the pads and pistons, does brembos have any?

Can anybody identify this pad? (YK14BP)

Thanks in advance

Bleed nipples are at the top to let the air out.

Pads are Endless.

Fastest response ever

Is there any sequence when bleeding? Front first--back first--Two at the same time etc. etc. etc.

Oooh.... and shims, are there any???

ABS, left rear, right rear, left front, right front. Go for a drive. Maybe have to do it again.

Shims, personally I don't use any. They are there to prevent squeel. You can use some paste instead if you don't have them. At them end of the day squeel is more about the pads than the shims.

Favour time:

Any chance of taking a photo of a Sumitomo calliper pad next to a Brembo equivalent?

Dude not having a go here, but do you really think you should be playing with brakes??

[Don Dada]

Does the brembo come with shims originally?

Maybe i can modify the ones from the sumitomo caliper to work?

I hate squeel

The bleeding part i was referring to the two nipples on the caliper itself.... Any particular one first?

is it 100% necessary to do ABS first then LR,RR LF,RF? i did my ABS last ??

On the caliper bleed the outer nipple (furthest from brake line) first.

is there a massive difference in braking between the sumitomo and Brembos. Obviously the Brembos you can mount bigger rotors etc but is it light and day diff or just slightly better?

Will let u know my opinion as soon as they are fitted and run for a couple of days

the pads being endless CC-R are a pretty hard core track pad. they will squeal like a biatch, with or without shims, and yes the brembos come with shims as standard. no I wouldn't try and use your old sumitomo ones. you can buy new ones from nissan. or get some aftermarket titanium ones which are supposed to give a good heat barrier too .

Did some checkin and it seems that the front did not come with shims only the back.

This was taken from the R33 workshop manual

Excuse the pics.... just snapped them off the screen

Well the brembos are fitted and i must say there is a noticeable difference in breakin power....

I dont have to press the pedal as much as before and the car comes down considerably faster,it is also very easy to get the tyres screeching now when braking from warp speed

Some things ive noticed tho..... there are spots all over the surface of the rotors when the brakes are used moderately,other wise when given a hard time it has a bluish burnt hue Are these spots normal???

When the pads are heated up they make a kind of growling noise when the brakes are used hard,is this normal with the CCR pad? I think this it the most dusty pad i have ever used on any vehicle it stinks up my chrome in one drive!!! No squeel tho

anyone?!?
