Additional Brake Cooling?

Hotrodz · 06-07-2017, 12:54 PM

I just had an 72 row oil cooler installed. The theory is that the additional surface area, the volume of oil and the amount time the oil spends in the cooler will lead to lower oil temps. I hope it becomes reality and not just a theory lol!

I know someone here did this. He cut two openings on the Zspeed undertray. I'm trying to find the thread. The shop that I took my car to mentioned that as a possible solution as well.

For now, something related:

Pretty cool brake duct setup for rotors (GTR)

Edit: Found the thread, ducts @ undertray, Nismo bumper brake duct install

Wondering where a different intake might go. *scratches head

Think one guy cut his fangs out. Made a plate with 2 holes in it for each side. Can't find the post or the pictures of it.

I would do 34...more is better in my opinion and I know others say 25 is enough but on days near over a 100* you will be good to go.

Before ducts

After

With Z1 vented two piece rotors my brakes are bulletproof at the track. Make sure to bleed on some RBF 600 or similar high temp brake fluid to avoid boiling the brakes (and then crashing)

I've run many pads and for a weekend warrior like the hawk plus pads although they are pretty dusty.

Consider swapping pads to OEM when not tracking just to keep the dust and noise down. (Also track pads are hard on your rotors when they are not heated up (like on DD)

Swapping brakes is easy, just pull the pins back off the pistons by pressing them back into the caliper and drop in the new pad. It takes about 5 minutes (tops) per wheel.

2 piece vented rotors also go on very easily

I run a similar set up and have had no issues with brake fade.

No issues with fade, but rotors are 850 F after 2-mile cooldown.
