lomoto Posted June 11, 2007 Author Share Posted June 11, 2007 Bugger NO disc's in the UK for the JDM Zed... looks like a few weeks wait Thats what I found when I was trying this time last year. Most were saying 12 weeks some were saying they had no idea at all Had a try round today , can get some from the States but they want $250 for shipping For some reason the sellers in the US were telling me that their discs wouldn't fit a RHD zed dont you just love the Yanks I can pick up a complete set of4 discs for the non Brembo for as little as £50 in the States shame about the shipping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Could you do a straight replacement of the non-Brembo disks and pads with a set of Brembo's? Would you have to replace the brake lines as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you have to replace the brake lines as well? Yes you need brake lines, calipers and disc's expensive job.. to be honest though Jim I've never felt the need for any upgrade on the standard JDM setup, just a bit frustrating the last 2 days when I couldnt source any replacement disc's .Hopefully now sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Thanks, Tim. I tend to agree with you - I am unlikely to ever use the car on a track, and don't ever feel that the standard brakes are not up to normal driving. I'll be interested in hearing how you get on with the replacements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomoto Posted June 12, 2007 Author Share Posted June 12, 2007 Hopefully they will be fine with just brand new standard genuine disc's and EBC red stuff pads...will let you know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomoto Posted June 18, 2007 Author Share Posted June 18, 2007 Just fitted the new disc's from MJP , great price as well for Genuine Nissan disc's.. Replaced pads all round as well with EBC Red Stuff , not had chance to really test them yet , but seem fine with all judder gone now..The original disc's had quite a bit of run out in them despite only having done 15 k Miles Old disc removed old and new red stuff pads copperslipped ready to fit alltogether again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomoto Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 Done a few miles with these EBC pads now and can confirm they are a lot better bite than original Nissan items Also they dont seem to shower loads of dust about which is nice when you have polished rims Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris`I Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Also they dont seem to shower loads of dust about which is nice when you have polished rims Thats always the gripe I have with OEM pads - they shower your rims with dust I beleive there is something in OEM pads that stop them squealing so much but means they produce a lot more dust as a consequence.

AndyC Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I beleive there is something in OEM pads that stop them squealing Wait till you get about 1000miles off needing them done mate, then you'll hear a proper squeal!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
