Fat brakes

[makeitfit]

Next question
I saw someone on here had fitted grooved discs on their Mav/T2:augie
Anyone know who it was and where can I get some?
Is there a big difference running with harder pads?
What options are available to beef up the rear brakes?
I think that covers it
Basically with the engine mods on the way I want to stop quicker too:thumbs

well ive only had fronts since strata..... so just some brakes will do me for now

if the diff is the same as the petrol spare i have ill just change the axle for now. and clean my one up and look into any possible mods then

one question i have do i need a load sensor. whats that all about. i have a good one spare but do i need to fit it

Drill & groved disc's will run cooler under heavy braking & will reduce the chance of the disc's warping while the groves will cut off any glazing on the pads, but I would say harder compond brakes pads would be a no no:augie Off road you will run a higher chance of getting muck stuck in the groves/holes which could lead to the disc's becoming scored:dohbut the disc's will dry alot quicker after going through fords etc

the load sensor will even the braking out when the motor is under load so i would even think of messing with it

Hi Sweety,no really
Do you know where I can get some or do I need to get std. ones machined?
Std pads it is then:thumbs
Is there any possibility of other Nissans having bigger discs/drums that could be fitted?

EBC make a set of pads for the terrano IIRC. I have made the mistake of fitting harder compound brake pads in the past & found under heavy braking I ended up with bent disc's:dohalot is to do with what the pads are made from :augie I think OEC or TBR do the disc's

 

[makeitfit]

Hmm "EBC" OEC TBR :augie
Sorry all bbc to me ! Will I find them in google land ?
Cheers
