I just put skyline GTR calipers and rotors onto my Silvia and they work great. Initial bite is CRAZY! However If I am doing well above 100km/h and hit the brakes and slow to a stop There is alot of fade. I bedded them in correctly I believe, but i don’t know what kind they are. They came with the brakes when i bought them, and have alot of meat on them still.
So my question, is this normal, or does it sound like a pad problem?
If it’s a pad problem, I like the sounds of the hawk HPS pads, what size do I need? The 300ZX aren’t the right size are they?
Yeah, I know they can’t be fading from heat soak!!
That’s why I was wondering about the kind and sizing of pads, I want this thing to kick some serious decelerating ass! It allready hurts my head…maybe I can pop an eye out or something!
R32 GTR OEM brakes are interchangable with early 90s Z32s.
I just installed a set of EBC Redstuff pads on the advice of a guy who does does a fair bit of track time. (Ezzie from GRTCanada.com)
I haven’t even finished breaking them in and I can tell you they’re going to be killer! I exceeded 1g braking on the April 30th track day on my old pads, but with a fair bit, OK a LOT, of pedal effort. The new ones feel strong strong strong! Should be able to get the job done with a fair bit less effort now.
If you want to see eyeball goo on the windshield you’ll need to make sure your tires are up to the task as well!
