Brakes

Right boys am just wanting to know how easy it is to put Evo 4 callipers on the R am on 17" alloys so that's not a problem but is there anything I should know?

I've been given them from a mate of mine as he now has brembos on his c2 and he wants me to sort some wiring out for him.

So other than Clio discs what else do I need??

from memory dave I think there a straight fit
think the only thing you have to do is put 4 spacing washers behind the disc so it brings it out a tad further.
was a couple years ago I did one so cant remember but think that was all that was needed

Dousnt matter what you do mate... Its a pulsar, the brakes will never work lol

Don't make me use your full name gaz! You need to change your pads an bleed the system then that should see your nissan right ( or you could tie wrap a block to the sole of your shoe that should make the pedal go further down when pressed )

Cheers bob if am right you have to drill a disc out slightly to fit the on the R Clio 172 disc I think?

ill need a block of wood soon, Cant believe you forgot my present yesterday David   could of done with some hight to see the speed bump I twatted on the way home  

What pads would you suggest? Havent realy got the money for fancy expensive ones at the min soneed cheap as poss but work at the same time

Oh that doesn't sound good mate am on ebay now so a booster seat is on its way to you as we Speak.

What have you in now? Yellow stuff?

yep disc pcd is slightly out but that's no biggy

Sound maybe next track day I do I might be able to stop lol

Spa hotel is sorted bob are you taking your gtr an me taking your pulsar? Lol

Erm pretty sure there red stuff in the front & Nissans own pads in rear

nice one dave

my pulsar will be minus all running gear soon as ive got a buyer for the rb box so no pulsar for you sorry
when I pop up and see you at end of the month remind me to bring that clutch line up for you and any bits you think youll need

spa here we come  

No problem bob looks like I will have to stick mine on the road for our little trip or go in the bmw

Think it's just the clutch line I need at the min but I shall have a look.

Fuck the red stuff off mate there more for track days buy the yellow stuff pads they will warm up faster and respond better for what you need and they should be good for a track day aswell

Red stuff pads are more for hard core track days when you can get plenty of heat in to them an are rated for around 350 bhp+

Yellow stuff pads would be the best for you rated from 300bhp+ less heat is needed for them and should be perfect for what you need them for plus they will be perfect for a track day.




Or carbotech never forget carbotech they were ace on my red R screeched like a bitch until they are warm but they work a treat

Sweet, cheers mate ill have a look now

sorry dave but your wrong me little northern monkey lol
yellows are more hardcore than reds nd take longer to get heat into

save up for the carbotechs gaz, they are outstanding against any other pad ive used.........fookin dear though but they last a lot longer and aren't disc killers either

Yeh heard about carbotech so prob will save for some ready for next year. as car will be in garage shortly ready for winter

Also what about FERODO pads? as I live down the road from ferodo & know people that work there so may be able to get them cheap? I have heard there is a good pad ferodo make but cant think of the pad code?
Think these are them? DS2500

http://www.ferodo.com/en-gb/Products/Pads/Pages/DS-Performance.aspx

the 2500s are ok but don't use the 3000s as there a real disc eater
neither are a patch on the carbos though

No no no bob it green yellow red am sure it is could be wrong mind it's not the first time lol

At least I got carbotech right lol.

Ok cheers for the advice mate, ill save up for carbo's for next year, but just stick some 2500's in for now if I can get them cheap

greens, red, yellows, blue dave or il tke that tenner off you

and I haven't checked on the net  
yellows are a much better pad than the reds though I do agree

This could be true I had forgotten about the blues I will send you a link to get your track time tomorrow if that's ok bob.

i think the evo 4 twinpots are the same as the fto calipers and you will need to bore the holes in your hub bigger to fit the calipers, i think its 13mm but not quite sure and as mentioned clio discs and 4mm spacers.

i couldnt find carbotech pads for my calipers so was looking at the ds2500 which get decent reviews and cheaper

If you email carbo they will make them up for you at a price mate,

Is it the 280mm disc I need I can't remember I've been away from the game too long.

sorry 280 yes

Specs of disc so you can compare to gtir ones if you need

Thanks mate for the link should be a cheap way of hopefully getting something that will stop the car and less brake fade change of fluid an maybe some sneaky braided hoses should do it. Am going to have to look in the garage to see if I still have them

You missed out one bob ...... its black ..green...yellow...red....then blue .... in tech info it stated red stuff is for use on vehicles with more than 200hp and heavier cars such as suv's etc
