My brakes

[DizzyKitty]

went to change pads and the caliper bolts broke. Got new bolts and the bleeder screw striped and wont budge for anything. Also, I broke one of the new bolts on accident.... I'm bad at this game...

You live in Arlington? I'm like 20 min away from you. You should buy my s13 ABS brake setup.

Im trying to get z32 brakes acualy.... just money has been kinda slow

[ss82480]

I live close to arlington and have some spare s13 brakes if the z32 ones dont pan out for you.

[White Comet]

if money is an issue and you're not making insane power, just go with q45 brakes. they're much cheaper then z32 brakes

[DizzyKitty]

mmm... I thought the q45 and the z32 had the same brakes?

[White Comet]

nope. the q brakes are an upgrade but not a strong as the z brakes. they are also much cheaper. the setup i'm running right now is stock s13 rear brakes, and q45 fronts with a z32 bmc. thsi setup is a great improvement and the z31 bmc takes care of the brake bias. with the z set up, you need the fronts and the rears as well as conversion lines and getting your ebrake to work

[DizzyKitty]

interesting. Well i gave up on it for now.... damn bleeder screw. any tips on how to loosen that thing?

[2ndnissan]

Use lots of pb blaster and pair of vice grips. Tap the housing close to the bleeder with a hammer too. Sometimes that will help loosen up the rust. If it absolutely won't move you might still be able to compress the piston with a c clamp and the old pad.

The rears turn in, the fronts push in. My bleeder screw broke off too (i think thats what your saying), i just bought another caliper off of someone on the forum. Doing brakes on these cars sucks because everythings rusted to s***. Depending on which caliper bolt it should matter if its broken as long as it stays in place, Picture?

[2ndnissan]

yeah..I discovered the rears turned when I got my 240 a year ago. I wonder why nissan did it that way .

[White Comet]

a lot of cars are like that. nissan isnt the only one
