Brake setup for your S15

[kazama]

I'm considering either APP or Endless.

What'd you reckon ? Are they plus minus the same ?


colin, no Pro RS for me man. haha.

Mate,

I have used Pro RS for my previous car and it had no issues...in what way are the endless and APP more superior?

 

[gunner93]

Heard about some stories on it but so far no issues. Probably will be able to tell better once I track the car.

Senthil,

What car did you use it for previously ? horsepower ? usage type ? what kinda brake setup ?


Colin & Senthil,

Don't get me wrong, its not that I look down on locally made products,
its just that for these type of things, I'd rather pay a little more for that added assurance.
Like for instance, why buy Advan Neovas AD07, Bridgestone RE01R, RE11, when you can buy Silverstones for half the price or less ?
Its that added security that people buy better tires and they perform a lot better than its cheaper counterparts.

Hey Mate,

I understand where you are coming from...i used the Pro RS on my Citroen ZX 16V which had stock calipers and 266mm discs...the car was pumping about 140+ hp at the wheel which is not much compared to the Spec R now...

Senthil,

I dont want you to be mistaken for what I said,
wow 140+hp at the wheels. What mods were done to it ?

Hi Kazama,

Just did the normal stuff...full exhaust system, kingdragon drop in filter, ECU was rechipped and a stage 1 inlet cam with a duration of 226 deg. @ 0.050? lift.

Below are some pics of my old ride . Click on the link below :

I know right up front in this thread there were comments about why would you bother with 6 pot fronts.... but i can highly recommend the setup I have. GReddy 6 pot fronts with 355mm slotted rotors and GReddy 4 pot rears with 330mm slotted rotors - and of course upgraded cylinder, lines and a skyline handbrake.

The brakes are sexy as hell, work incredibly well and have saved my ass on a couple of occassions with idiots on the road. It's well balanced, brilliant pedal feel, and incredibly effective!

of course the fronts will only just fit inside my 19's so a smaller rim would be an issue!

Anyone can tell if the wheel bearings can be greased? I dont see any nipple points anywhere and does that means its not serviceable?

I'm running stock, but it looks good....lol

 

[meddler]

Good job. Looks very nice. Is the Silvia piece a sticker or is it painted?

 

[raytsang]

looks like a sticker with laquer over it. looks good

 

[baynz]

triplejs15 did you take pics as u done it, would be intersting to see.

 

[tripleJs15]

No buts its very easy, first i got a stencil made 5/8 x 4 of the silvia, then I used a angle grinder and a 3m 80 grit disc and removed the 'nissan' lettering, I broke the caliper down then powder coated it, you can paint it but I couldn't find high temp gold paint. Then I scuffed it with the red 3m sanding block. Stuck the stencil and sprayed high temp black paint (3 coates) very lightly, then I masked I cleared it with high temp clear.

 

[tripleJs15]

it's high temp paint, I did use a sticker as a stencil, stickers will look good but wont stand up as long

 

[silviatub]

Mate,

That look superb!

 

[channie]

That is some serious stencil skills... i didnt have the paitence with my brembos... ended up getting some high temp stickers made

 

[Nicely]

I did similar, but not as neat. Ground them down first (R32GTR calliper).

 

[gunner93]

Triple...

One mighty swell job on the calipers you'd done there. :nod: Can you please post one pic with the wheels on and all?

 

[tripleJs15]

Thanks gunner, I haven't put back on the car, I'll do it on the next day or two and post it up.
