DeeJayDready Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 Charles Hurst Nissan have advised that I need new discs & pads all round. In fact they also advised me the same thing almost a year ago, but following a second opinion, an independent mechanic said they had about a year left. Now the brake pedal is pulsing while braking and they're saying the discs are warped. It seems like now is the time to get the work done... Naturally Charles Hurst are looking to charge a seemingly outrageous amount to source and fit these, and there's no chance I'll be paying that. I'm inclined to go for the like-for-like stock option (i.e. Brembo), unless someone here advises strongly against it? The car is used for regular road driving / occasional fast road driving. It looks like I can get the four Brembo discs from EuroParts for £230.98 right now as there seems to be a 50% discount code (SALE90), which seems like a pretty great price? As for the pads, I'm getting two different options for both front and rear which are different shapes (see links below). Any tips on which way to go here? (I've a 2007 model) Links I've tried so far: https://www.eurocarparts.com/brake-discs https://www.eurocarparts.com/brake-pads https://www.carparts4less.co.uk/brake-discs https://www.carparts4less.co.uk/brake-pads https://www.cougarstore.co.uk/nissan-350z-brakes-5-c.asp Quote
Jack94 Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 Around £300 for a full set of Brembo discs and pads sounds about right. They're perfectly fine for daily road driving but struggle if you give them any real abuse (e.g. track days). Entirely up to you really whether you're happy with their performance or want to spend the extra to upgrade to something like Stoptech, DBA, hawk etc. Quote
G1en Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 The brake pad options will be brembo or non brembo (as in what calipers are on the car) if its a uk model you will have the brembo brakes, imports could have either. Quote
DeeJayDready Posted January 1, 2019 Author Posted January 1, 2019 Yes, mine currently has Brembo callipers, discs and possibly pads. I'm inclined to fit Brembo brand replacement discs and pads as, bar the stereo, I have kept the the car stock and fitted genuine Nissan / NISMO parts where possible. That is unless for similar money an alternative set of discs and pads would give a significant improvement in performance..? Not sure what the difference between the two shapes of pads are though on the links above? Quote
DeeJayDready Posted January 2, 2019 Author Posted January 2, 2019 Looking at the 'view detail' section it seems as though two of the sets (the square shape) are for a Brembo brake system, whereas the other two (longer/curved shape) are for Sumitomo & Akebono systems. Presumably I need the ones for a Brembo system. Quote
Mik Du Posted May 11, 2019 Posted May 11, 2019 @DeeJayDready I'm at this same question? Can you advise what you went for? Quote

HEADPHONES Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 Thread revival. After 60k and 14 years my original discs need replacing.....I know I should drive it harder Anyway just checking that the 4 part numbers above were the right ones if anyone can confirm? Quote
DeeJayDready Posted July 7, 2019 Author Posted July 7, 2019 Yeah, that's what I went for. These are the proper stock parts. Just note that you need 4 discs, but only 2 (sets of) pads. I initially ordered 4 sets of pads not realising a set covers both driver-side and off-side so had to cancel and reorder. Quote

DeeJayDready Posted July 7, 2019 Author Posted July 7, 2019 When I ordered mine from EuroCarParts there was a sale on. Got the lot for £284.47. What that guy's selling costs nearly double that with no guarantee. I'd pass... Quote
HEADPHONES Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 Cheers for the replies. Missed out on the 50% off at Eurocarparts by days. Ordered the Brembos from Carparts4less with a WEEKEND 17 code for £326. I could probably wait and save £40 from Eurocarparts when the 50% offer is back but every day that goes by without the zed is depressing and I just want them ASAP Quote

DeeJayDready Posted July 28, 2019 Author Posted July 28, 2019 Just a heads up that there seems to be another 50% Off sale on discs & pads at Euro Car Parts at the minute in case anyone is looking. Quote
