Hay guys i dont got no skylines but looking at upgrading my brakes on my 180sx :) its 4 stud and iam thinking of getting 300zx rotors from DBA pre drilled to 4 stud get some z32 calipers at the front and maybe Z32 master cylinder, i still dont know weather its a benifit to change the master cylinder when i do a brake upgrade :D

also should i be doing anything with the back? rotors or just put some good pads?

nah your master cylinder will be fine dude

Ummmm i dont think so.......not familiar with a 180s braking system however i would assume that changing your brake calipers and leaving the exsisting mastercylinder would require some sort of proportioning valve

Great to hear, although I am no fan of bendix, and have no experience with lucas, but am totally sold on the racebrakes stuff.

With the spraying, cleaning is the key element, as well as laying up a number of coats, but I then used a gas torch to melt in the paint as some cleaners will strip the VHT off onto the driveway.
