Braking upgrade

[Jordy32]

They look fantastic!

[deongster]

what pads did you go for?

I’m on Endless on the front.

I’ll be getting R33 rear Brembo set next.

[deongster]

Installed!

They stop on a dime. Even with spongy brakes! Needs another round of bleeding. But we wanted to run it first. And then rebleed.

Worth it. 100%

I had no issues with Penrite Racing brake fluid ($50/L) at Eastern Creek, but then my car isn't as fast as Desmond's.

Also using penrite ten tenths. It's done very well. Done about 7 track days on the same fluid, it's still in pretty good condition. I'll most probably flush and replace after next track day.

Just to shake things up I have been using the Nulon Extreme fluid in the yellow bottle for $7/500ml. 

I change it regularly but I've used it in all 5 (2 day) tarmac rally events I've done plus regular friendly track days without any issues at all.

Yep I used to use nulon super dot 4 aswell. But one day I cooked the fluid so I switched to penrite super dot 4. Haven't cooked it yet.

Both under $10 lol

We ran this until earlier this year as well. Changed to RBF600 after cooking the Nulon at the track, then changed to RBF660 when we needed new fluid. Haven't had issues with either of the Motuls to date.

Interesting that you cooked the Nulon. My car is a 200sx, possibly a bit lighter?

I don't think you would continuously brake as often in a tarmac rally compared to circuit racing either which is why I might get away with it. There's often long stretches of road so things get a chance to cool down a bit

Our car is also doing "double duty" at the track - 1 driver goes out for a session, comes in, less than 10 minutes later the second driver goes out. It's also Malalla, which is hard on brakes.
