Stagea Brakes

[Duncan]

hey at least you know what the issue is so you can get it sorted.

m35-ers, is it correct the 350z brakes fit?

[scotty nm35]

Yes, front and rear are the same as stock with the touring, but the Track model Brembo's are an upgrade. Same with the V35 brakes.

[StageIan]

Are you using the correct matching r34 disks to the calipers?

Just saw your post Scotty, yeah I believe the disc I have is incorrect for my application. It was purchased after I was told by numerous people that the calipers I had were R33.

After I did my own research, I realised I had R34 but didnt realise that the disc wouldnt match up.

I'm hoping that DBA will take them back and alllow me to pay the difference on discs to suit R34

[StageIan]

So tomorrow is the big day, hopefully able to swap my R33 rotors for R34 and get it done...

I want my rig back so I can drive it again before I swap the turbo out...

So.... went to get braided lines done today. Got a call a few hours later and they cant do them due to the design of the block etc. Has anyone had braided lines for the c34 s2 made up in Sydney, the central coast or newcastle?

[DaveB]

Sorry not Sydney, but I have had some made in SA so they should have them on the shelf. You could look into getting some posted. They cost $400 or $500 from memory, PM me if you'd like me to look back into my file...

ok so i've read through a few pages at the front and rear of this thread. Emailed a few ebay sellers, they were totally useless!

I want a straight specific answer to my questions so I can do it right the first time.

Car: 1999 C34 2WD/ RWD auto rb25det series 2

I need something direct fit/ factory replacement for the rear rotors/ brakes asap.. rotors are stuffed. Part number's etc

Best caliper upgrade conversions for the front on the S2?

[KiwiRS4T]

Front calipers GTT or GTR. Get front and rear and rotors to suit.

[Ben C34]

Except rs has 12mm bolt holes for front calipers.

Not a problem as you can make new press in inserts for the calipers, or the dodgy option is to drill out the holes in the struts.

this spring swapped 350z's Brembos to Akebonos. HUGE difference in brake power, with ENDLESS pads in brembo calipers and OEM nissan in akebono's

in Russia akebonos are rather cheap - full new set is for 2000 USD, used is easy to buy for 1000 USD. Rears fits with rotors from G37S or M37S, not FX! fronts are ok with adapters

THIS BRAKES WILL NOT FIT WITH WHEELS (tried personally):

1. 18" BNR34's forged OEM wheels

2. 18" CPV35's track edition

that was pity, cause i had to sell all my winter rims((

18" nismo LMGT4 fit perfectly.

this affects inner diameter of wheel, not offset

Upgraded the front brakes to Akebono from Z1 Motorsports in the states. It ran about US$1100 including SS lines and Hawk HPS pads.

And what are your impressions? Would you do the rears as well? Seems like a super price. Did it include both Calipers and Discs?

Some photos would make your post so much better

Same brake kit as Erop's post above mine. Silver Infiniti calipers. I will post up some photos to the garage section and link the photos to the post later.

Yes, the kit includes the calipers, slot rotors, pads, hardware kit, and SS lines. I NEEDED front brakes at the time because my stock single pistons needed to be rebuilt and my pads and rotors were shot. I still have some pad life left in the stock rears so I was going to wait until the rear pads are almost gone before ordering the Akebono rears. I think they run $700 or so from Z1 Motorsports and the SS line kit I have from ordering the fronts included the rear lines.

Impressions? Night and day difference. The Akebonos are AWESOME. No more brake pedal pulsing and spongy brakes. My GTR's had me spoiled so I had to upgrade.

Spotted a white PM35 today evening in Camperdown on parramatta road.

Does anyone know if r32 gtr calipers will fit on a s2 rwd with r33 gtst rotors?

[KiwiRS4T]

Well the GTR rotors are 296 x 32 and the later GTST are 296 x 30 so if the offset is the same you should be ok. The calipers are the expensive item so you could always buy some GTR rotors if it doesn't work.

[twichstag]

Thanks, Also does anyone know if RDA954S rotors will fit s2 rwd with stock setup? are the rotors the same as rs4? =)

I have read through most of this thread and have come to the conclusion that there are some here that simply do NOT understand a few things about this topic of Brakes,

I read some place here that someone wanted to have a switch in the ABS , this is Illegal and IF you have some sort of incident then your Insurance is likely going to be void.

I will likely make myself somewhat unpopular but here goes anyway:

The reason your ABS was felt is primarily due to 1 or a combination of 2 things poor road surface grip poor tire grip.
This has absolutely nothing to do with the ability of the brake system to retard the rotation of the wheels.

What this means is if you upgrade the Rotor's and Calliper's without due consideration to the tires (given the fact that tit is they that are doing the hard work )
in other words if you have shit tires then you in turn will have shit brakes it IS that simple, why well because the last link in the chain is the tires. thats why.
