Slowxr6t Member 560 Member For: 5y 11m 24d Location: New zealand Posted 20/08/21 12:44 AM Share Posted 20/08/21 12:44 AM Not today, but yesterday, I finished fitting and bleeding my new brakes, dba 355mm rotors and brembo 6 piston calipers on front and safe brake braided lines all round. I went for a cruise and bedded in new brakes. I did 8 100kph to 20kph stops and then let them cool by driving for 10 minutes then did 3 140 to 20 stops and let them cool. Twice low oil pressure popped up on dash for 2 seconds under hard braking, must have been the gforces. I also just fitted a saas oil pressure adapter into the turbo oil feed fitting on block and the factory oil pressure sensor now is screwed into the end of the saas adapter so is now 5 cm further out from the block from where it used to be, so probably reads pressure a bit slower with oil rushing around. The brakes are really awesome now, before the stockers struggled to slow the boat down from speed. I also managed to fit in a decent power slide, 1 for the covid lockdown.

Also saas brass adapter for saas oil pressure sensor for oil pressure gauge is screwed into the turbo oil feed line with stock oil pressure sensor screwed into the other end. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
