No light. I'll try checking the ring again this weekend. I've already cleaned the dirt so that's out of the equation.
Upsizing brakes in Nissan Sylphy
- Thread starter Izso
- Start date
Dirt not so easy get there, right? Tiggo already 4 years touch wood, no issues....:hmmmm:
Everything cleaned, new brake pads, spray painted calipers and installed everything. Brakes work. But I got a few questions for people who've modified to 4 pot brakes :
- The rotors are bloody heavy. So much so it adds to the steering weight and has significantly slowed down my acceleration speed. How do you guys work around this? Carbon ceramic rotors? Hehehe.. dreaming.
- Do you have the initial caliper clamping noise, a soft "clunk" everything you lightly tap the brakes? I seem to have this noise. Anything to be concerned about? From my own observation it seems alright.
- What if I uprated my servo, how would this affect my brakes?

Thicker servo=stronger braking force which i always like esp in big heavy car.
The sensation of stopping a heavy car can be quite addictive.u can feel the weight of the car being handled by the brakes.
On the rotors.i would leave it unchange but fiddle with the engine to give out more power.
Or u can compare the cost of getting a lighter disc to the cost of increasing the engine torque and choose.
cant u just retain stock rotor and use custombracket for the 4pot caliper only??? (but the disc size and thickness should not too-far off from caliper choosen.....those A31 cefiro 4pot caliper size i think very close to silpi brake size???
Brother, most people mod engine then mod brake to stop that power. You suka suka mod big heavy brakes with no mod to engine sure heavy loh......faster cabut.....hhahhahahhahahahha
I didn't know Cefiro was 4-pot and if it is 4 pot, it's already way bigger than Sylphy brakes. My GSR brakes on my Wira are slightly bigger than Sylphy stock brakes. True story. Even the disc is exactly the same as my Wira one.
The Skyline rotor is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay bigger than stock.
The stock brakes really tak boleh la. I almost got into some emergency brake trouble because of the stock brakes which is why I want to uprate in the first place.Brother, most people mod engine then mod brake to stop that power. You suka suka mod big heavy brakes with no mod to engine sure heavy loh......faster cabut.....hhahhahahhahahahha
Engine modding on my car is not an easy task la. I don't know where to start.

Actually the right approach to mod is first prepare the car to be able to handle the extra power first (i.e. suspension & brakes), not adding the power first, especially for normal cars like ours. Coz often after upgrade power, drivers can get carried away with the extra power and ends up in accidents instead.
My Mark X stock brakes also damn lousy one, not even adequate for the standard car.

Much lighter forged rims?
sorry..corection needed....cefiro not 4pot....but i think it have a bigger disc....
skyline sure la very big disc wooo.... (i think the r32 has the same caliper and disc as scooby/wrx...but not sti since sti use brembo)

Hes using Advanti dy. Quite light less than 7kg.Actually the right approach to mod is first prepare the car to be able to handle the extra power first (i.e. suspension & brakes), not adding the power first, especially for normal cars like ours.

Then he weigh it down with heavy brakes......lol

I think he did suspension dy, now brakes but not engine.....Actually the right approach to mod is first prepare the car to be able to handle the extra power first (i.e. suspension & brakes), not adding the power first, especially for normal cars like ours.

Advanti 17' already under 7kg huh?Then he weigh it down with heavy brakes......lol

That's the right approach. I'm also still at that stage now also coz no money to seriously upgrade engine power.
Your one already 2.5L, right?Advanti 17' already under 7kg huh?
