buggerin ell!

Bloody hell :eek: What a difference :D :bow: :bow:

well done matey, I knew they would look a treat.

you could have washed it first

he doesnt need to wash it... just tap the brake pedal at high speed and the dirt will fly off!

That looks fantastic.

 

I fitted mine today. all ready had 315mm on lol!!!!! will get some pics up tomorrow :)

wow, that looks fantastic Rob!!:duffer::duffer:

O M G. That's all I can say.

 

I've had them on for 30+ miles now and what can I say? The difference is staggering.

 

Absolutely no effort to reduce speeds rapidly from high speeds. They even seem to work better (very noticeable) when hot.

 

I can't quite get my head round how much of an improvement they are. I deliberately left the old pads on so I could make a direct comparison between the two disc types and wow, there IS an enormous difference!

 

To be honest I'm glad I didn't put and big 4pot / 6pot calipers on as this maybe double overkill, as it is I can lock the fronts at 50+ quite easy on a hot dry road :O

 

Oh, one thing I need to ask, the pads that are in there are painted BLUE, what types of aftermarket pad are blue in colour?

 

 

buggerin ell!

That's what I said when I nearly went through the windscreen :D

 

 

 

Bloody hell :eek: What a difference :bow:

:D you're not kidding :)

 

 

 

well done matey, I knew they would look a treat.

Thank you fella!

Thanks Mark! Dude, these things are awesome. Seriously Nurburgringable now :p I would think they would piss a trackday no problem.

 

 

:duffer: to all!

Right you! Where, how much, and what was needed to fit!

 

And make it snappy :D

 

(oh and get some new tires, there looking a bit low :D)

Seconded - want some!!

Awesome stuff buddy, i've got wilwood superlights fitted to mine but i've always thought the discs could be a bit bigger, maybe not that big though! lol

 

What make are the discs and where did you get the brackets from?

 

Wow..HUUUGGEE !! :bow:

To be honest I'm glad I didn't put and big 4pot / 6pot calipers on as this maybe double overkill, as it is I can lock the fronts at 50+ quite easy on a hot dry road

what the larger calipers would do would give better protection from heat soak and brake fade, so you would have consistent braking even after several laps on the track

damn it you got 15mm over me :(

 

Nice one ;)

To answer you guys, I did all the research myself. I looked for a disc with very similair dimensions to the stock one but much larger in diameter.

 

The disc I found was an almost perfect fit, just needing 0.8mm machining out of the centre bore.

 

The caliper relocation brackets were made by myself (Dunkspeed Engineering :p). See this thread: http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=115158

 

 

I guess I could work out costs for a couple of sets if ppl are interested? Rough guess would be well under £300 (much nearer £200) for discs, relocating brackets (chrome plated ;)), new bolts, longer brake pipes, inc. postage.

 

 

 

Wow..HUUUGGEE !! :bow:

Ahh I see. I guess the proof in the pudding is the eating :) Let's see how these get on ;)

Endless pads are blue .;)

Endless pads are blue .;)

 

Hmm thank you Taff, I guess these were put on in Japan as it has not done a lot of miles in the UK really.

 

EDIT: I've just had a search and they look exactly the same blue as on mine! Well done that man! :duffer:

I've washed the car and took some pics.

 

What do you reckon?

 

lovely big brakes, i see youve got some heat into them ;)

Looks massive :D Nice one.

ROFL you busted me there ;)

No Joel, that comes free with a couple of 130+ ---> 70mph stops :D

 

Looks massive :D Nice one.

 

Thanks fella! Your's look very nice too may I add :D

Cheers bud :D :duffer:

Mark, I honestly don't think I need them.

 

I have the power to lock the fronts with ease at 50+++mph no trouble at all.

 

The blue Endless pads that are fitted work amazingly well too.

 

Does anybody else use Endless pads on here?
