Hi

on the r33...the standard breaks are at best dangerous

they simply cannot hold the car

can anyone tell me what i should do to improve the situation

my buddy has an r34 and it doesnt have the same problem but he spent something in the region of 8 k to make it that way.

any help apprecaited.

Start by changing the brake fluid, if that's no good change the pads, if thats no good change the discs.

I'm going to disagree with that, I use the brakes hard and repeatadly on twisty mountain passes and have never had any fade or juddering, the ABS doesn't kick in even under extreme braking.

I've changed the pads to Endless SSS and the fluid still running stock disks

8 grand on a brake setup???

Carbon Ceramic 10 pot set up perhaps???

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks standard brakes are adaquate! If you are struggling maybe your brakes are ****ed? How much power are you running? By the way wtf has your mate got if it cost 8 grand? Trust alcons only cost about 3!

No need for anything like that money..

DBA 4000 series grooved (Wiper slot) front discs, Ferodo 2500 pads, Motul 5.1 fluid and braided hoses, total approximate costs including labour around £700.

The above assumes the 296mm discs and 4 pot standard Nissan (Sumitomo) calipers, when the above prescription simply stops the vehicle, under all and any road conditions I've met. No squeal, no fade, no histrionics whatsoever, and oh so smooth and quiet.
