Daryl Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Well I took it back for them to bleed the brakes again after the MOT, but even after just the MOT, yes the pedal feel was alot better. With credit to them, they handled it all very well. Not saying thats your problem, just thought id mention it. You can check yourself if the hoses are tight. I think its just the nature of the set up that it takes abit of heat in the pads and discs to get some decent feel out of the system. Looking at this tread, there are far too many people "suffering" from the same issue for it to be a mechanical issue on your car. One thing i did get, was nasty ring around the edge of my rear discs, after pulling the pads out, there was debris of some sorts in the slots (exactly the same both sides and looked like pad material), may this was to do with cool down or over heating.

mattfinch Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Just thought id say my pedal is exactly the same and i was going to put a post asking other. But im glad im not te only one too Quote
cyberfella Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 DBA discs, Ferodo pads, Goodridge lines and Motul fluids and exactly the same as you guys describe too. Gonna let CS take a look, but might be normal. Quote
wizurd Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Still waiting for a break in the weather but when I get it I'll be rebleeding mine again. Definitely can get it feeling better. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk Quote
docwra Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Mine is the same, notice it only happens once heat gets into the fluid. Weird, as Ive never had it with any other car ......... Quote
jjt Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Just to update my situation, I had the brake fluid flushed, bled, and then re bled by a garage who know performance cars about 4-5 months ago; there is so much more feel to the brakes now you cannot compare it to the previous way they felt Quote
Jp606 Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 A really good brake fluid and proper flush does make a big difference, I replaced with Motul RBF600 however I did also fit stainless steel braided lines at the same time which completely transformed the brakes. Quote
jakno1 Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 The brake pedal is adjustable just like the clutch pedal, you can bring the bite much further up the pedal works pretty well. Quote
jjt Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) Just to add to this, now that I have DBA discs up front, EBC Yellowstuff pads all round, HEL braided lines and mogul RBF600 fluid properly bled I had absolutely no fade on track on Friday; see video here: http://www.350z-uk.c...rack-day-video/ Edited March 17, 2014 by jjt Quote
MeSs Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 (Holy thread bump!) Hi, and sorry for the bump in a 4 year old thread. I was googling "Pedal feel 350z brembo" and found this thread. I recently upgraded from 350Z stock brakes to OEM Brembo's. I used 4L brake fluid while bleeding the brakes, to make sure that there wasn't any air trapped anywhere. But my pedal feel is just like some of yours, I can push the pedal halfway in before anything happens. But if I tap the brake fast, then it's firm and "normal", like priming the brakes.... I have Ferodo DS2500, OEM Brembo discs, stainless braided lines and normal brake fluid. Does some of you still have this "problem"? If not, how did you fix it? Thanks Quote
