ZeppoJeff Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Every time I get into my car after leaving it for two/three days the brakes seem to be seized and I've got to give it a good bit of throttle to in stick? Any suggestions to why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Kay Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 It's a Scottish thing! When I bought my car from Bems I remember it did the same when he pulled it out of the garage, yet its never done it since. In fact, you bought the gear knob from him that he had in the car before I bought it (which I've always been gutted about, but anyway) so I think it's pretty safe to say Bems is cursed!!!!

HaydnH Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I used to have that issue on standard Brembos, it went away when I upgraded my brakes. BTW, I think it's the handbrake... unless you leave a brick on your brake pedal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnH Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 What set up did u go for? I went for the ARTs on here, but if I had to do the same now I'd probably go for the TORQEN ones, they look about the same quality but quite a price difference: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/96357-torqen-big-brake-kit/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Kay Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Handbrake is inboard though isn't it and not just the usual rear pads/discs? Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 If you are not parked on a slope, try parking it l1st/reverse gear with the handbrake off - almost certainly that is what is causing the brakes seizing with the moisture content around at this time of year.
