    Brake modification

    I know most of you on here run skyline brake setups or k sports (or something similar), but I was wondering if anyone had spaced out the stock calipers in order to fit bigger rotors. I cant really justify an expensive brake upgrade as wont be using the car on track but I do want sharper brakes...

    Brake fluid top up?

    I read that you can use DOT4 - DOT5.1 brake fluid on the useful threads..I have no idea what brake fluid is in the car, can I just get any DOT4/5.1 fluid & top it up or would I really need to drain it out & put fresh in?

    Brake warning lamp came on when i took the handbrake off.

    Brake warning lamp came & stays on today, handbrake & brakes work fine. I think it was when i took the handbrake off to drive away, I swear I heard a noise, is there a connector plugged into the lever somewhere? How do you get to it? Thnx.

    S15 Spec S Brake Recommendations?

    Hey guys, My S15 Spec S has just been left with Horsham Developments today in order to replace the brakes. Whilst this is being done I'm thinking of upgrading the brakes to something better than standard. However this seems to be quite difficult at the moment as both the front and rear are 5...
