on the outlook for better brakes for the Front of my car ...

 

seen D2 Sets for Starting from 720>790

 

what size is good to go for

 

all so i know you can use Calipers from 350 Brembos but i have been offered

some brembos from Evo 8 can these be used ?

I'm running evo 8 calipers, you need a conversion bracket as they are bigger than 350 brembos, I love mine prob cost me 600 in all

well been offered the evo8 for 150 pair of

Got an evo set up myself. Just gotta fit em bud!! Good price!

so what Disc's to use and where to get the Brackets from ?

bracket wise some dude on dw can make them, cant remember his user name but search in items for sale for evo brembo brakes and im sure you will be able to stalk him a bit, mine are set up from 350z brembo caliper fitment discs, think his calipers use evo discs

I used EVO calipers with 350Z discs on project 1, I'm sure I have a drawing of the bracket somewhere, I'll have to have a look.

Yeh I've got EVO's on mine, I have the bracket template on my pc, I will dig it out and post it up when I get home ;)

well just pricing this all up

 

Calipers £150

Discs £85

EBC Red £80

braided Lines £56

Rebuild Kit £70

total £441 there abouts

 

plus cost of brackets ...

 

is it worth it when the basic D2 6 pot 330mm are 720 cash ( no vat )

Another option are skyline brembos, they fit straight on with no brackets needed, the difference in size between stock and evos are massive and the stopping power is immense,not sure on d2s, they are meant to be good, lots of calipers fit, porche, Aston but all need the conversion brackets ;)

Bracket template

 

I went for 350z Track Edition Brembo calipers and 324mm discs off the same.Only mod was drilling the caliper bolt holes out from the standard zed 12mm to 14mm to take thicker 350z caliper bolts...no tatting about with brackets and my existing brakelines fitted straight on :)

Thats very cheap mark. Speaking to bob the more modded orange z33 out there with you he also boiled the fluid on his brembos.

thanks for the info guys

will do some pondering on this ...

 

now as i didnt get brake fade just boiled my fluid could i just change it to higher temp dot 5.1 is it ?

Exactly this ^^^^

 

if you're planning on upgrading for road use then GTR/350z Brembo's are fine but if you want to upgrade because you've caught the track bug and fancy a few more sessions then you need to upgrade accordingly

Correct me if im wrong but I dont think the d2/ksports come with pads, so thats on top.

according to Luke@zcenter on the phone today ... i asked what i got for my £720/790 and he said

 

Calipers

Discs

Pads (standard)

B-lines

 

as we spoke about swapping them for some EBC's or other brand
