S14 - STI Brembo Brake Upgrade
My car: 95 240SX SE non-abs (interested in a street/autocross setup)
I would appreciate some help finalizing a parts list for my choice of big brake upgrade. Please help me organize a good list for future forum-crawlers. Let me know if you see mistakes, have info or resources to add, and unresolved questions are highlighted in red. Thanks. Calipers: Front: STI (2004-07)(*note that the 2007 STI Special Edition is excluded) Rear: STI (2004-07)(*note that the 2007 STI Special Edition is excluded) Note that Brembo gold rotors can be touched up using Honda "Inca Pearl" paint code Y-61P. It is not a heat resistant paint though. Brembo calipers (Suburu) have a 2-step paint process: first a ceramic based paint and then the gold color. If your scratches/paint issues go through the ceramic coating this may only be a band-aid depending on the amount of heat that the particular area sees from brake use. Front Caliper Brackets: Necessary to fit STI Brembos on your S14. Sources: (1) florante rea on Zilvia.net forums (2) ManoNegra on Zilvia.net forums sells them (light grinding of calipers required). Refer to http://zilvia.net/f/group-buys/30040...-brackets.html Picture of grinding: http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/6...erground01.jpg Rear Caliper Shim: Should not be required if you choose Z32 rear rotors. Rotors: Since these are HUGE compared to stock, you will need to remove or trim the dust shields. Front: Evo 8/9 Rear: Z32 (1990-1996 300ZX) (note: Evo 8/9 rotors fit, but will not allow the Z32 parking brake assembly to fit) Brake Lines: Front: (1) Z32 "conversion" lines (Are these the same as stock Z32 lines or not?) (2) Stock or Stainless STI (2004-07) lines. (3) S15 Lines may work (anybody know for sure)(Nissan PN?) (4) R32 Lines may work (anybody know for sure)(Nissan PN?) (3) Other options? Rear: Same as front. Parking Brake: (1) R33 cables (necessary for Z32 e-brake assy)(PN KITR33PAIR from mynismo.com) (Nissan PN??) Parking Brake Assembly: (1) Z32 UNISA JECS on zilvi.net sells used assemblies. Refer to http://zilvia.net/f/sale-items/16670...-complete.html (2) Make a bracket to run a Wilwood mechanical parking brake like Ferrari (fabrication/welding required). Picture: http://www.jegs.com/images/photos/950202280.jpg (3) Run without it (park it in gear). (4) Read the $100 hydro e-brake how-to : http://www.zilvia.net/f/tech-talk/93...tml#post842628 Master Cylinder: Needed if you don't want pedal feel to SUCK. Note that some bending of stock brake lines may be necessary. (1) Plug&Play from FRSport: DIF Tokico Nissan Z32 300ZX Brake Master Cylinder Upgrade for 240SX (2) Z32 (many choices)(for street/autocross my choice is a 1") Refer to The Definitive 300ZX Brake Swap! 46010-30P01 Manufacture date 2/89 – 7/90 (17/16" NA Tokico) 46010-30P02 Manufacture date 7/89 – 7/90 (17/16" TT Tokico) 46010-30P02 Manufacture date 7/90 – 2/91 (17/16" NA & TT Tokico) 46010-30P10 Manufacture date 2/89 – 7/90 (15/16" NA Nabco non-ABS) 46010-30P21 Manufacture date 2/89 – 7/90 (17/16" NA Nabco) 46010-30P22 Manufacture date 7/89 – 7/90 (17/16" TT Nabco) 46010-30P22 Manufacture date 7/90 – 2/91 (17/16" NA & TT Nabco) 46010-45P00 Manufacture date 9/91 – 9/93 (1" NA TT Tokico) 46010-45P00 Manufacture date 2/91 – 9/91 (1" NA & TT Tokico) 46010-45P20 Manufacture date 9/91 – 9/93 (1" NA & TT Nabco) 46010-45P20 Manufacture date 9/93 – Up (1" NA & TT Nabco) Dual Diaphram Brake Booster: Not necessary, but can improve/change pedal feel/effort required. (1) S14 with ABS (Nissan PN?) (2) Z32 (ABS?)(Nissan PN?) Pads: Evo 8/9 pads are required because STI pads are too thick. (1) Porterfield R4-S (2) EBC Greenstuff (3) Ferodo ds2500?? (4) Hawk HPS Fluid: Dot 4 only!!! Dot 5 is for racecars. (1) Motul RBF600 Last edited by Midnight Turbo; 06-19-2011 at 09:33 PM.. Reason: Updated information |
