Have a couple of thou to spend on upgrading the beast and deciding to start on brakes given recent events and the state of the current discs.

I would not touch drilled discs as they are notorious for cracking, groove and dotted are fine.

for an extra £150 you would be able to get yourself a 4 pot brake kit which will improve braking considerably over stock brakes

Can you point me in the direction of these brakes?

what standard or 4 pots?

The 4 pots

Are these roughly what ur talking about?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-Sunny-GTiR-Pulsar-Wilwood-Brake-Kit-4-Pot-280mm-/120746748931

Assume the extra size from 265mm to 280mm will still fit?

if you hold on a couple days steph il have around 4 sets to choose from

in stock at the moment I have a set of hispec billet 4 pots with fitting kit in vgc
set of tarox 6 pots with fitting kit
one set on one car im collecting has a set of CAD brakes but they wont be cheap
not sure on the set on the other car but I know they are 4 pots of some description

How much you looking for the hispec billet? Also do they only come in front, or both?

yes wilwoods are 4 pot calipers (about the cheapest on the market) but with those you still need to buy the pads and the lines for them as they have different fittings to other calipers so will still cost you around £850 for the set

the hispec kit I have il do for £450 and better quality than wildwood

you don't want a 4 pot kit on the rear..........only fronts need doing

And that includes everything I will need to give to the mech to do the swap?

Can you pm or post some pics?

Also I do go for these you will have to use a different courier lol, those brake hoses still havent appeared, refreshing the tracking every hour

Are sure the make is CAD??? because i find nothing on google about them....

yes something like that fred il find out soon enough

steph yes the larger items we use citylink but hermes for smaller items, just checked tracking info and they are out for delivery today for you

yes everything you need to fit them is there in the kit.
pads are worn around 50% but still plenty of life in them
il try get a pic for you in a bit

Google KAD they do alot of brake setups and performance parts on the mini scene, v expensive but really nice stuff.

Never thought they did pulsar stuff though

yep sorry I spelt it wrong lol
I know they are damned expensive brakes to buy

yep toaster, maybe a one shot experience for a pulsar...KAD is well known on the mini scene but i was not aware of other cars in their catalogue....

Bob, if you do have some ap racing calipers, i would be interested in.

Hoses arrived. Car back to me tonight apparently, then back to them for the brakes lol

I think the gearbox will be next to get sorted, just concerned with that noise from the shaft bearing

kad calipers use ap racing pads so maybe the same calipers fred

Maybe why KAD's are so expensive if there made by AP?

heres the pics from the hispec kit
I would imagine the calipers have been painted at some stage as there normally gold
the discs and bells are 310mm

They are far better than the set i bought month ago...

I take it there wouldnt be any issue with the size conflicting with the current 16" alloys, ie offset or anything like that? Also is this front and rear or just front?

Also tbh I think a gold caliper with green alloy on a black car may be a bit much lol

Assuming nothing to deal with from above question I will give you a call tomorrow to set up payt etc

You can Re anodise the bowls, black is an available colour.

ah yes I forgot you had 16s, they should fit but im not sure if im honest with you

and no as I said above you only need front big brakes, if you go bigger on the rers you will have problems plus they don't do a 4 pot kit for the rears hich has the handbrake snail cam on it so you would need to run a hydraulic fly off handbrake.......uprated pads on rear is all you need
