Power brake.

They are cheaper then nissan on the disc's, Plus they are race units.
I have heard on earlier models you can use 200STI disks not sure about that.

From power-brake your looking at R 3000

Im running powerbrake Die Hard series, with kevlar ceramic pads also from powerbrake, they work work very well once they have heated up, so basically under heavy driving. under normal driving conditions they are very much the same as standard. with the brake combo im on there is very limited fade, but there is a lot of brake dust, i spent 2500 on disks and about 1000 on the front pads, rear end is std nissan parts.
hope it helps.

I can get Brembo cross drilled and slotted for around the same price, last S13 i got a full kit for (all 4 corners) in brembo slotted and drilled with pads all round and it was about R5000 if i remember right.

Rezlo I'll have to contact you sometime after my clutch is sorted....this Brembo stuff....must I then everytime order pads from you when mine is shot or is it availible locally?

Rezlo · Post by **Rezlo** » Wed Jan 17, 2007 9:25 pm

U can use any pads, they are the same physicaly as the factory units in size

BTW i got alot of SR20DET RWD clutch kits in stock to, can get them for the CA18 though.

if u still looking 4 front disks then do what i did. go to nissan and find out the specs on the sx disks.think it was the almeira or primeira thats the same.only diff is sx is smaller believe it or not.took mine to an engineering shop and had it skimmed to size.

Thanks boet ,that is already being done...Almera discs with 3mm skimmed off by the engineers, fit SX 100% and did not end up paying a fortune R700 altogether

very interesting indeed! now, can you get almera's with cross drilled or slotted? or can the "engineers" do that themselves?

Dunn · Post by **Dunn** » Wed Jan 24, 2007 11:53 am

hey widowmaker peace out,actually i think they can ,i am actually busy building up a project car and don't want to spend a fortune on the SX as it's my daily driver so it does'nt actually need a hardcore brake setup

ooh, ooh, question, I'm looking for disks for my S14, are there any compatibles? I've called Magnis, they want R1390 each and I just cant afford it at the moment, I'd love yo go for Brembo's

So, any Idea's? Z32 disks would probably even cost more at nissan.
