Upsizing brakes in Nissan Sylphy

Technically it's not Godzilla. It's Godzillas great great grand uncle's brakes

Hehe, only the Skyline GT-R R32 is called Godzilla.

The first GT-Rs were produced from 1969–1973. After a 16 year hiatus since the KPGC110 in 1972, the GT-R name was revived in 1989 with the Skyline R32. This car was nicknamed "Godzilla" by the Australian motoring publication Wheels in its July 1989 edition.

How come?
The sensor detects the toothed pattern on the driveshaft right?
Nothing to do with whatever brake u installed.
Or,yours is different...

After Izso told me on Sunday morning I then figure out what he was trying to tell me after thinking. The bolt he is looking for is called a Banjo fitting. Refer to picture below. It is usually used on caliper and hydraulic fittings. The Banjo fitting comes with 2 cooper crush washer.



Izso, I have this website which sell these fittings and usually it's hard to find on Malaysia website. This company they do international shipping or you can try to go find those shop dealing in hydraulic. They might have them.
Banjo Bolts and Brake Hose Bolts

This is the list of local shops dealing in hydraulics.

New problem.

ABS keeps triggering even when I'm not heavy braking. Any ideas how to resolve this? I've tried a few things already and it's annoying like hell.

Hi all.

I've sort of successfully transplanted a 4-pot Nissan caliper taken off a R32 Skyline into my Sylphy. The only problems I have now :

1. I can't find a decently priced service kit. Anyone have? RM300+ for rubber seals is unreasonable.

2. The brake oil bolt that locks the brake hose to the caliper for the Sylphy is too long. I had to use spacers and washers to lock it out and prevent leakage. After asking 2-3 spare parts shops they aren't sure if they'll be able to source a shorter but similar bolt. Does anyone know where I can find a shorter bolt that has the hole in the middle to allow brake fluid through, 0.25mm thread and shorter than 3/4 inch long?

Any feedback, help or offers to sell will be appreciated. But if you have something to sell please PM, don't advertise here.

Did you try go to mechanical shop and custom one bolt? When I upsizing brakes, my bolt are custom also.

Where you did yours?

Where you did yours?

Mechanical shop in pandan indah industrial area.
But I got no idea about the rubber seal, rm300 sounds like very high for rubber seal.

ABS triggers when wheels are locked, could means your brakes are biting too well....:hmmmm:

check my previous abs thread mr.izso.... u might find clue from there... try check for abs ring damages..if abs no damage check for dirt stuck on sensors... did your abs check light on?
