May not be good for all out SIC use, since these are performance pads for daily use. Maybe bro. Izso can comment more as he tried them in his hero before in SIC.

After few months searching, finally got my rotor, was lucky enough to find PMU 2 piece, was quite steep, the slotted is not that deep but didn't feel like waiting, God knows how much longer I'd have to wait if pass on this one, I had people giving me recommendations on buying an EK9 disc which was 5x114PCD and custom drill to 4x114PCD, but i was leaning more towards PNP. I least expect to find this at a workshop tuning my hondata lol.
I guess I'm done on this thread. Thanks for the kind advice these past few weeks/months.

Next on my to do list
1. replacing internal parts of my engine, likely valve seal, spring retainers or parts that requires replacement
or
2. Fixing all the small ciku problem such as honk, bonnet clip etc
or
3. Installing a rear strut bar or X bar where it latches on the adjustable pillowball
(in no order, will be based on budget)

This disc also have been re-drilled to fit 4 lugs....

 

[tonyparir]

Yep but i just decided to take it anyways lol

So how does the braking feel now, any significant improvement compared to your previous brake setup?

Does it come with bigger vacuum servo?

So how does the braking feel now, any significant improvement compared to your previous brake setup?

Last time my friend converted his Nissan Bluebird brakes to GTR ones, did not improve, in fact got worse, because vacuum servo cannot handle, until he added aftermarket (add on) vacuum servo

Honestly the past few months I was quite lazy and did not get the chance to do any testing wasn't able to compared. But i notice one difference at low speed around 60kmh i slammed the pedal and it did not took long before my car stopped

Does it come with bigger vacuum servo?

When i bought my car it comes with a 96 dc2r brake servo. Hope thats good enough

i think i borrow this thread to ask. Keep playing in my mind.
I ask before about brake pads.

My case. Wira gsrt, no mods, stock (all disc brake, single port). Brake been bleed couple of times. After bleed feel much better.
Few weeks later, pressing the brake pedal. Back to same old feeling, not much braking power. Press 2-3 time only can feel the hard feeling. Brake pads not worn out. No hydraulic oil leaked.

Need advice. Problem at Brake hose ? Brake caliper becos single port ? Brake pads ? Brake servo ?

After fitting new brakes and you have improved braking then good enough. If same or worse then vacuum servo cannot handle....

If you need to press 2 to 3 times to brakes to function properly, usually means got air bubble in the system and needs bleeding.
For better braking try changing the pads first. Try Trestor Blue Advantage pads, cheap and good bite, but a lot of dust......lol

Okay noted. Will keep that in mind... when i ask around, my friends told me can use ek9's servo but any other suggestion?

Before changing make sure the servo unit is bigger, but then also make sure got space for bigger unit to go it. Mine was transferred from half cut, unit is bigger and is double layer

Rubber hose can have this effect ?

If rubber hose bulging then how many pump also won't help......lol

 

[sweelt]

Ok. I feel confident. Thanks.

Best to recheck, re-bleed and see how it goes.....

Does the brake pedal sink when you hold it there? If it does you might wanna have a look at your brake pump too the seals and all. If it doesn't probably like what sifu vr said, bubble inside. Just my 2cents.

Normally if worn and pedals sinks, I rather change the pump. Most pumps nowadays are made of aluminum and they are soft and wears easily. The seals wears the pump wall will wear also. I did once changing the seals only lasted a few months.....lol

How the windscreen, yesterday got rain, right?

 

[sweelt]

Brake pedal din sink, just feel need to press further compare to after bleed.
Bleed couple of times previously. Wondering where the air come from.
Or pump itself suck air by little?

You just bleed or flush? I recommend you do a complete flush, means change the brake fluid completely. Also did you overheat your brakes at any time after the bleed?
