Stagea Brakes

[d1_drifter]

Does anyone use the QFM HP-X pads from GSL RallySport?

Just ordered a front and rear set and wanted to know how they faired

[Duncan]

Tom, I'd guess your bad brake pedal is just more air in the lines somewhere....try more bleeding. I've never had to bleed the abs even when the lines are totally empty....not saying it can't happen just that it never has for me.

Tim, I'm using the A1RM on the rear, they work fine, excellent price but are very dusty. I think I should have chosen HP-X because I don't think I am stressing them enough to need the A1RM

Cool, thanks Duncan!

yeah i did the fronts again, few bubbles came out and the pedal is much better now

starting to appreciate the increased braking now

[FLYSLY]

does anyone know the minimum disc thickness for S1 Stags?

[d1_drifter]

Is there an of-the-shelf BMC Stopper available for the S2?

Is there a skyline model that would match?

Edit: Search function is fantastic! R33 for those who need to know

How did you go with moding 954 discs and what pads did you find to use?

[pipster11]

dunno if this has been asked b4 but...

are the stock front rotors r34 gt (non-turbo) ones?

i was asking about gtt rotors in autobarn and they mumbled something about "are they the 292mm ones?"

i should have asked for a part number

but iirc gt brakes use a 2 pot sliding calliper too

hey guys does any one know the bendex number for the frount pads off a 99 RWD stagea, as mine are getting low and i cant find them on here.

Missed this somehow - I haven't gotten around to organising to have them machined down again, but the plan is to do that in the next 1-2 weeks when I have some other work I need to finish; then you can be sure that I'll let you know. I think there is also a bendix equivalent pad on here somewhere for around $100 a set thereabouts? Maybe less... I will probably look that up.

There is no Bendix number for the front of the S2 Stagea. We've got them on the shelf as a custom pad, in both HPX (Bendix Ultimate equivalent) and A1RM (Ferodo DS2500 equivalent). Our part numbers and prices for the front are:

GSL009HPX $119

GSL009A1RM $179

Rear are on the shelf mate, fronts are still on back order. I'll put you on the back order list.

A1RM to suit the front and rear are on the shelf if anyone else is interested. $179 per axle set front or rear.

That will be interesting considering RDA don't have any stock of Reds or Yellows to suit S2 fronts anywhere in the country...

And as a premium RDA dealer we also could've sold EBC Black or Greens off the shelf, but the vast majority of people are happy to wait for the [far better] QFM's if they're not urgent for them. Why did the 'back' need to be in capital letters?

Well Sorry to POP your BUBBLE GREG i have some on way,

I have gone for GREEN STUFF,

IN CAP`S ,WHY DO YOU SAY INSTOCK BUT NO ON BACK ORDER AS YOU NEED MORE OLD PAD`S ????,

YOU MAY FEEL there a better PAD but that`s your Product,& from what i have read ROTOR`s will need replacing with one type of PAD as they EAT THEM,

Now AS I DRIVE A STAGEA i guess i have a better VEIW on WHAT IS GOOD ON MY CAR then someone guessing,

YES you sell PAD`S EBC & YOUR OWN PAD THAT YOU COME HERE TO GET SOME STOCK PAD`S SENT TO YOU .

As i had REBOND`S done here in perth as there was a TOTAL LACK OF PAD`S ,& AGAIN went to RDA & GAVE them PAD`S & ASKED for them to FIND A MATCH,SAME with ROTOR`S & THEY come to the PARTY ,

As i am not a 20 yearold guy hoping to have someone find stuff for me

Cheer`s

Well I had a win today with going to Brakes West In Myaree , They had the rear pads and rotors in stock and are ordering me in some EBC Blacks from over east, get the front rotors skimmed fresh and fingers crossed that should be it for a while !

[ssshonky]

Ok so the Stagea is all done. New rear rotors * coulda got em machined down but new rear rotors didnt cost that much so I thought meh , might as well *

Front rotors skimmed

New EBC black pads up front

Bendix CT down the back,

Bled all the brakes, took it for a short test drive and everything sounds perfect.

Shame Australian Air express totally f@cked up my shipment of pads and overnight turned out to be like 3 days. but I am happy its all good now

[skidkid]

Fitted up new front slotted rotors with new pads today and if it doesn't rain tomorrow I will fit new rear slotted rotors and pads then bleed brakes allround.
