Stagea Brakes

[Techo]

Hi All,

RDA have a listing for standard S2 Rear rotors. no mods, straight fit! P/N: RDA 7657.

Just bought a pair for <$150!

This probably means they do standard front rotors as well.

Hope this helps

NO AS i did say in other POST.they have them for 350 Z & not standard + it would be silly not to get SLOTTED ROTOR`S & they have EBC pad`s,to so you have no worries as of now & ,AS other`s PAY silly MONEY for someone to do there BRAKE`S when you can do it far far CHEAPER THEN they think WITH NO HASSLE`S good luck cheer`s chuckie.

FRONT ROTOR`S RDA954S NISSAN 350Z .

Chuckie,

How have your rotors and pads been?

So just to get this straight I need;

For Series 2 Stagea FRONT-

a) Front brake pads - EBC DP1671 (?$/ pair) or Maxi stop DB7648 ($70/pair) and

b) Front replacement rotors - RDA 95S (s=slotted) (?$/ pair). Fit Nissan 350Z (non Brembo). Standard non slotted not available?

Both are direct fit no mods at all?

A)YES,B) RDA954s,not 95S never tryed to find standard. Brake`s ARE GREAT ,no worries at all has made big difference,much better + i fitted BRAKESTOPPER to,yes all with out mod`s rotor`s are close to caliper but i think it`s ok,you can see when you do your`s,you may say it`s cool to,but may take few mm`s off each to there own,OK PRICE, well now pad`s i got at trade & was asked not to post as it may upset,but i shall PM you,i got quoted $220 by RS73 in group buy which is great price,RDA954s is only one i asked about as i would only put SLOTTED on,as i do drive hard & love to give car good clean out .& you would see the difference in them to none slotted,i will try to get some PHOTO`S take sunday & post them up so you can see,but i really do think it`s money well spent as i had said before i think the slotted & very good pad`s make the difference .

Iam also having 32 caliper`s sorted out retapped to 14mm,new bolt`s & will try to fit EBC`s aswell,& may be then compair what`s what between 2 setup`s,iam also waiting to get R34 310mm setup but that is not really going to be fair as there bigger rotor`s,they me be put aside for 30 when i do it.BUT will post up all i find so it`s easyer for all to get sorted,

i shall let you know on some dogbone`s to fit 324mmGTRV spec rotor`s later on which will still fit on with 17in rim`s which would be the way to go with RB30 set up.any way GOOD LUCK if you have any more QUESTION PM me ,cheer`s chuckie.

[loymclure]

just thought id add this in for any s1 owners that cant be stuffed looking around for different stuff or just plain and simply cant be F*%$ed doing there breaks them selves

Brakes plus in frankston are doing my car on saturday and they have quoted me

$314 for pads all round

$39 for brake fluide

and if i need my rotors machined $75 per pair

no time and no hassle = priceless.

they also assured me my breaks would not be a problem at all.

ok so turns out there were a few issues ...

total cost: $923.50

work done:

pads all round

both rear disc's machined

Flush and new fluid.

two new front rotors

both rear calipers rebuit as they were seized up (i already knew this as it was making a terrible noise. guess from the lack of driving it)

lol i know what your all gonna say could be half way to a brembo upgrade... meh sh!t happens.

Chuckie,

Are you saying that RDA 954S FRONT will fit Series 2 Stagea WGNC34 without mods?

I thought Series 2 FRONT had 290mm diameter rotors, and these RDA 954s off the V35 skyline/ 350Z touring non-brembo are 296mm on front?

No machining required? You said that they are close to the caliper, so the offset is correct also then?

Maybe a few photos may clear it up?

[chuckie]

Ok Lad`s & Lasses.ASYOU WILL SEE ROTOR`S FIT WITH NO MOD`S NEEDED,AT ALL JUST SLIDE ON.

[rs73]

Interesting find...

If S2 Stagea comes with front 290mm rotors from factory , as long as the hat height is similar, the 954S might fit even though it's 296mm, providing you have ample of space between original rotor and the caliper. 290mm to 296mm increase is only 3mm larger on all radial direction. it's not much...

That said it solves the problem using R33 Gtst front rotors which has the wrong 'offset'. The hat height on R33 Gtst rotors is 53.75 or sometimes 54mm depending on manufacturer (e.g. DBA vs RDA), while the 350Z rotor has a hat height around 49.2mm or 50mm roughly, which from the above fitments look like the right offset for Stagea!

[rs73]

Scuse the ignorance but could I buy a set of 350gt Brembos and fit them straight to the M35 Stagea (not ARX) without any mods/trouble?

I did similar conversion on my V35 early model non-brembo which uses the same rotors sa non-brembo early 350Z.

No problems and fits straight on - fitted by professional brake shop.

I would imagine M35 would be able to take that upgrade path providing your stock M35 came with the non-brembo early 350Z rotors front to back.

Finding a set of brembo caliper would be a challenge as they don't come up everyday and pricey.

Hi All, just a quick post on S2 brake`s,i have set of 32 rear rotor`s & calipers,rotor`s do fit with no mod`s at all but i will need to MOD backing plate to fit caliper,just fitted some new FRONT pad`s i have picked up from CDA & will let you know more on then soon ,few photo`s of rear rotor`s & caliper`s ok ,as you will see 32 rotor is few mm bigger then standard but it fitted ok with stock caliper,i will bolt rotor`s back on over easter weekend & take few more photo`s & mod backing plate to suit 32 set up,as you all so see SLOTTED ROTOR`S ,i will check what pad`s i have for these as well ,cheer`s chuckie.

R32 GTR rear came in 297mm standard with hat height around 62mm.

Sydney Kid's 1st post on this thread mentioned having to machine the od by 5mm, bringing it down to 292mm.

RDA / DBA now have 350Z non brembo rear which is 292mm with hat height around 63mm so this can be fitted with RDA7657 instead of RDA908 and save the mocking around with either modifying the backing plate (dust shield) to fit larger rotor or to machine down the OD to fit under the stock backing plate.

Sorry for multiple replies, I used to follow this thread and just got back on to it and find these findings quite interesting!

Fits no worries

Not my car though

[rs73]

gee, even for a brembo sized rotors, they look puny for the body of a huge Stagea...

makes you think if the non-brembo factory brakes are under-designed or not...

hmmm.... *dreams of AP Racing 8pot front and 6pot rear Z33 upgrade kit*

*curses failed lotto ticket*

[zei20l]

omg they DO look tiny on an M35 lol

i dont think the brakes are that bad however. mine are ok, and to me they arent in tip-top shape either!

Well I DON`T THINK they are now i have sorted out what i thing is the RIGHT set up,Slotted Good Pad`s,& Brake stopper & good fluid,iam VERY HAPPY with how it PULL`S UP NOW,Brembo`s OVER PRICED & OVER RATED just my thinking,ONE THING YOU MUST REMEMBER IS THAT IT`S A 1700KG WAGON NOT SPORT`S COUPE,cheer`s chuckie.

[BradLaunch]

Does anybody know if the series 2 2wd Stagea has the same brakes as the 4wd stagea?????? Cause im looking to do a upgrade..

Lot`s of PHOTO`S so LOOK & tell us whether there the SAME ? have you checked them before

good luck ,

[rs73]

the best failsafe method is to measure the diameter, thickness of rotors and the height of the rotors from the top of the hub hat to the bottom.

For anyone interested and living in melbourne Chasers now stock EBC ultimax for $123 plus $50 a pair for front rotor machining got this done the other day they make a huge difference. Contact glenn at chasers on (03) 9687 7118.

OK, I'vefound these Brembo brakes and am fairly sure I've worked it out right and they will go on my M35 but any help appreciated.
