DIY - Easiest way to do a Type S to Type R Brembo brake caliper conversion.

I'm reposting an instagram post for Club Rsx to see. The person who did it was http://ift.tt/2pi093P

I know there's already several DIYs on how to do this but some are missing pictures and more information never hurts.

Enjoy.

Parts Needed
▪️ DC5 Type R Brembo Calipers (w/Brake Pad Hardware/Caliper Bolts)
▪️ 06 Nissan 350Z Brembo Pads
▪️ 09 Honda S2000 Front Rotors

Make sure you buy the essentials to do this brake job, that means brake lube, cleaner, fluid. Optional: Stainless Steel Brake Lines (It's not necessary, but it's a nice upgrade while you're at it.



Remove your Type S calipers/brake line, rotors, & install the S2000 rotors, they will fall in place perfectly, make sure you reuse the screws that hold the rotor in place.



Next, you will bend your rotor shield (Caliper Side) towards your engine bay as shown in the picture. This will make enough room to install the much bigger Brembo Caliper. You do NOT need to cut this shield.

Install your Brembo Caliper using the Type R caliper bolts. Do NOT reuse the Type S caliper bolts as they are different thread size and length. The Brembo Caliper will drop in place without a hassle.



Now, Install your 350Z Brake Pads. Do NOT reuse the hardware the kit comes with as this only works for the 350Z Brembo Caliper. You will reuse your Type R Brembo Brake Pad Hardware instead. Make sure you lube the back of the pads and edges where they slide in place. TIP: Install the brake pad with the clip attached to it on the outside. This clip is your pad wear warning.



Reinstall your BRAKE LINE using either the Type R bolt or Type S bolt. Make sure you use new washers on either side of the line to prevent leaks. Lastly you will bleed the system. You can bleed both sides at the same time like I did. This will speed up the process.



You are done! I may write a final review post, answering questions you guys may have and also letting you know what I think about this Upgrade! Hope you enjoyed and benefit from this DIY series! Thank you! @DC5R .Parts
