And no I don't know who Bryant is. I bought this from a guy in Seattle. Thanks for the compliment on the gold car. I miss it a lot. The kid that bought it is local and he said he'd let me drive it sometime so I am looking forward to it. |

On Friday after work I got started disassembling my Brembos to get them ready to send off for coating. I did some research and couldn't find anywhere that stated the torque spec when you reassemble these calipers so I checked the static torque on the bolts before I removed them. Dynamic torque is usually about 5% of static so I'll be torquing them back at about 150 Nm.
I started with the front calipers first. Used a pick tool to remove the dust covers. Right after I pulled all the dust covers from the front calipers, my buddy called me to see if I wanted to head out to Sweetwater brewery to get some beer. I definitely didn't say no after such a long week at work. Spent 10 bucks for about 7 or 8 beers...not too bad. So needless to say, I didn't get too far with the brakes. Cool! Didn't know there were nismo pads in there. |

Dude, I'm seriously impressed with your Zenki build...looks gorgeous! Any links to your build? Great choice on the GT-RS, one of the best turbos for the SR20 by far. Looking forward to seeing your progress. Congrats on owning an S15!!!

The GT-RS turbo will definately be fun. I'm not looking for a crazy amount of power on this car so I think that turbo is perfect. |

I'm down with the choice of turbo...It's on my short list of ones I'd like to run myself...
I've been collecting parts for a while now and the wait is killing me! This thread should calm my nerves |

MORE PICS COMING!!! Your white S15 was pretty iconic so you are an inspiration to me as well. I still can't believe you sold that thing. I can't wait to see what you do with the s13. |

Got back into the ATL on Monday. What an amazing weekend in San Francisco for Wekfest. Got to hang out with all the PGK(Premium Garage Krew) guys, Frank from Downstar Inc, Ryan from Rywire, Joey from The Chronicles, etc. This was the first time seeing west coast cars in person and I am definitely impressed. East coast is so far behind it's not even funny.
Today I finished up disassembling my Brembos. Once you get the dust cover off, take the bleeder screw out so you can blow compressed air into the caliper. One thing I learned is to compress the piston before you try blowing it out. This will allow the piston to free up a little. If your caliper has been sitting for a while, it will be tough if you don't break it loose. After you blow the piston out, you have to remove the rubber o-ring. All ready to ship out! If you guys decide to do this, make sure you label EVERYTHING so you can put everything where it was originally. |
