johnd-mkiv Posted September 6, 2007 Author Share Posted September 6, 2007 Disc diameter is all about leverage, it's like stopping a bicycle wheel by it's OD, or stopping a similarly inertia laden shaft bt a drawing pin head. Long term heat dissipation is more down to vented area efficiency, air flow and caliper cooling, short term heat *acceptance* is more down to disc and pad mass. If the pad area is greater than a stock J-Spec caliper, and the pistons are the right area to keep a sensible balance then the rear set up you have created should be more resistant to fade, pad material being similar. My greatest concern is the choice of EBC pads, papier mache would probably be as good a compound makes sence thanks;) the redstuff pads come cheap they will do for the mo, I had to buy a set of pads so I could set the whole lot up in a jig. Im running endless on the fronts at the mo which are great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Has anyone gone the whole hog and binned the bulkhead servo and run dual, adjustable bias master cylinders on a MKIV? I think a similar set up to that which I built for my RWD Skyline would work ok, especially with a remote servo running the front brakes only.

Not that I know of, sounds like a lot of work though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 ftp://ftp.chriswilson.tv/skyline_stuff/bias_brakes shows the set up I made for my Skyline, something similar should be possible for the MKIV, but it would need suitable caliper and disc sizes, and for road usage a remote servo on the front lines. Would make an awesome track day set up though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 If those were the brakes Chris had installed when I took a ride round Donny, they work pretty damn well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
