andyk3090 Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Hi Just joined and going to look at a 350Z with my son tomorrow and need some advice. The advert states the car has Brembo brakes, but the MOT history states an advisory the discs and pads are worn. My question is, can I fit standard discs and pads from Eurocarparts or will they have to be Brembo pads and disks? Also are the disks easy enough to change? Many thanks for any advice. Andy Quote
Stutopia Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 along I'd suggest checking out the traders on here for pads and discs, Clark Motorsport, Cougarstore, Tarmac Sportz - they're all really good and can cover normal road stuff right through to track grade. http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/93-professional-traders/ Good luck with the Zed viewing!

Commander Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 The brakes are dead easy to work on and you can get disks and pads from ECP all day long for them. Quote

andyk3090 Posted August 11, 2015 Author Posted August 11, 2015 Thanks for all the replies guys, much appreciated. I've changed discs on most things, so just need to knock the price down to cover the parts if we go for the one we have seen. Quote
techinstaller Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 The brakes are no different to any other car to work on in regards to changing the discs and pads ,just the callipers are larger on the front than some cars and have 2 bleed nipples on each calliper . The rears are discs and callipers with internal handrake shoe and drum set up I have recently replaced the full back and front discs and pads on my GT which of course has Brembos and i used MTEC grooved and dimpled with genuine Bremebo pads and im very happy with them .

veilside z Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 Hello and welcome buddy. Are you getting a good price with the car, I assume its private as a dealer would replace before a sale as he has a mark up on the car in question. Many non Brembo options out there. Quote

Are you getting a good price with the car, I assume its private as a dealer would replace before a sale as he has a mark up on the car in question. Many non Brembo options out there. We ended up going for something else. We picked up a 2007 HR for just over £6k but has low oil pressure. I have another post going on this having asked for advice. It doesn't look too bad a job to do, so parts are sourced and we will tackle it in mid September probably. Fingers crossed. Thanks Andy Quote
HiddenWomble Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 40 mph in first, 70 in second, technically you don't need to know where 3rd gets you and the manual just gives up after that! loving the HR engine sooo much right now and i'm sure you will too once that gasket isn't letting the side down Quote
