Stagea Brakes

Ahh, so cut the M35 banjo bolt down 2mm or so?

[PN-Mad]

Nah, just remove the restrictor and all will be good.

have a look down the hole, and you'll see a little piece of metal with a hole in it. Find a screw that'll thread down the hole, just like a wood screw or something, and then lever out with some pliers. Thats the way I did mine.

Oh too easy then. Thanks Alex.

Have finished the brake upgrades. The RS4 now has the GTST 4 pot with std discs. The 2 pot off the RS4 are now on the 25G after a bit of juggling.

The RS4 and GTST pistons are both about 42 dia. Was surprised to see the 25G singles are 56 dia. Put an BM50 master cyl on the 25G to handle the bigger brake pads.

what diameter are the 25g rotors Hugh?

Might be a bit of an upgrade for my 31

280dia, same as S1 and the GTST rotors now on the RS4.

I am interested in the dogbones to run bigger rotors for when the rwd 25G is turboed.

so do you have a setup that you don't need anymore?

Sorry Tom already spoken for.

Well good news for me, a friend of mine is sourcing a set of R34 GT-T front and rear calipers (and short lines from what he told me) in the next couple of weeks. What is the good set of rotors to get? and what do I need to do in order to change my calipers. Are the lines the same? (I have S2 Stagea), Can I still run the Stagea Brake Master Cylinder or should I change that to the R34 one as well.

Yes I know I should be search for this on the forums...but I'm entering this on my mobile phone at the moment during a quick break at work

RS4S BMC is the same as the R34.

Link to set of R34 GT-t brakes and slotted rotors for $800.

[BigDirtyJase]

Will the 310mm front rotors fit straight on Wolverine or will I have to do some slight modifications??

I'm just waiting for funds to clear up so I can buy the R34 brakes and rotors from the link you put up (can't came fast enough...brakes are starting to squeal)

[wolverine]

Sorry Jase, just saw the post. The rotors fit in fine. I bought calipers and RDA rotors but the brake lines didn't come in the box despite being included

Everything fitted fine including the rotors but the rear brake lines required braided lines to fit. Maybe be with R34 brake lines it can be made to work??

I should clarify, the BMC is the same size as the R34. The inlet and outlets on Nissan BMC's can be slightly different which may get them different part numbers.

I have just ordered Dixcel SD rotors & Project Mu B Spec pads for my Stagea from RHD Japan. Should arrive in 4-7 business days.

[BigDirtyJase]

how much did that set you back??

[Hanso]

A little over 1200 including freight via DHL. The freight was the killer.

I had no luck looking on Australian brake rotors, at least these fit my car without having to stuff around re-sizing and I don't want to convert my brakes as I mainly use it as a daily. Brembos are awesome, but not something I need as I rarely visit a track.

[Hanso]

Do you need to get brand new rotors machined? I'm not too sure on this, never had to do this before.

[bigkevracer]

You shouldn't need to if the rotors are well made.

Best just to measure run out and check. If run out is excessive you'll have to send them back (which is difficult when you bought them from overseas I know).

This is what stopped me from getting the rotors from RHDJapan (BTW I was the one who got them to add them in) it's the weight of the rotors that makes shipping expensive...didn't matter where I was trying to get them from (RHDJapan, Greenline or Nengun) it was just killing for shipping. Before I found a R34 GT-T set on here I was going to get them from Import Monster.

On the subject of those R34 Brakes, I got them yesterday (Thanks to Wolverine for putting the link on here and tir31 for selling them)...now I know the fronts should be a direct fit but what do I have to do again to get the rears to fit (I remember that you have to trim the dust cover...am I right?? and if I am right by how much and where to trim)
